TRICARE is medical health insurance which is provided to members of the military of the United States. Drug and alcohol use inside the military is much more common than one would assume, and the need to provide rehabilitation to these individuals is a priority. TRICARE covers numerous rehabilitation services to address alcohol and drug dependence including detoxification services, in addition to treatment in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient settings. Those that have TRICARE will of course need to have a prior authorization before partaking in any type of rehabilitation service, that may be organized using a regional TRICARE representative. If an inpatient facility will be the favored treatment choice, TRICARE covers a three week period or one inpatient stay in that facility per benefit period which is every 12 months. There are particular limits as to how long a TRICARE member can stay in an inpatient program that accepts TRICARE, and there's typically a 30 to 45 day window which is covered. TRICARE also covers family therapy which may be very beneficial, as it may help include loved ones in the healing and recovery process. No person in the military should fight this battle alone, and there are expert rehabilitation counselors ready to assist you today.
