TRICARE is medical health insurance that's offered to individuals in the armed forces of the United States. Drug abuse within the military is a lot more common than one would think, and the need to provide rehabilitation to these individuals is an important priority. TRICARE covers a variety of rehabilitation services to cope with alcohol and drug dependence including detox services, and also rehabilitation in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient facilities. Individuals with TRICARE will obviously have to obtain a prior approval before partaking in any type of rehab service, that may be organized using their regional TRICARE representative. If an inpatient facility could be the preferred rehab option, TRICARE covers 21 days or one inpatient stay in that program per benefit period which is every 365 days. There are certain limits regarding how long a TRICARE member can remain in an inpatient program that accepts TRICARE, then there is typically a 30-45 day window that is covered. TRICARE also covers family therapy which can be very helpful, as it can help include loved ones in the healing and process of recovery. No person in the military should fight this battle alone, and there are professional treatment counselors waiting to help today.
