TRICARE is medical health insurance that is offered to people in the military of the United States. Substance abuse within the military is more common than one would think, and the need to provide rehab to these individuals is an important priority. TRICARE covers many different rehabilitation services to address drug and alcohol dependence such as detox services, along with rehab in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient settings. Individuals with TRICARE will obviously need to have a prior approval before partaking in any type of rehab service, which may be arranged using a regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient facility will be the favored rehab choice, TRICARE will cover a three week period or one inpatient stay in this particular facility per benefit period which is every 365 days. There are specific limits about how much time a TRICARE member can remain in an inpatient program that accepts TRICARE, and there's typically a 30-45 day window that is covered. TRICARE also covers family therapy which may be very useful, as it could help include family members in the healing and process of recovery. No person in the military should struggle with this battle alone, and there are expert rehabilitation counselors ready to help today.
