TRICARE is medical insurance that is offered to members of the armed forces of the United States. Drug abuse within the military is more common than one would assume, and the need to provide rehab to these individuals is a vital priority. TRICARE covers a variety of rehabilitation services to handle drug and alcohol dependence including detoxification services, and also treatment in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient facilities. People who have TRICARE will naturally be asked to have a prior approval before taking part in any kind of rehab service, which is often organized with their regional TRICARE representative. If an inpatient facility could be the preferred treatment option, TRICARE will cover 21 days or one inpatient stay in that facility per benefit period which is every 365 days. There are specific limits regarding how long a TRICARE member can remain in an inpatient program that accepts TRICARE, and there is typically a 30-45 day window that's covered. TRICARE also covers family therapy which may be very useful, as it can help include loved ones in the healing and process of recovery. No person in the military should struggle with this battle alone, and there are skilled rehabilitation counselors standing by to help you today.
