TRICARE is medical health insurance that's offered to people in 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 offer treatment to these individuals is a vital priority. TRICARE covers a variety of rehabilitation services to handle alcohol and drug dependence such as detox services, along with rehab in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient facilities. Those that have TRICARE will obviously be required to have a prior authorization before taking part in any kind of rehabilitation service, which may be arranged using a regional TRICARE representative. If an inpatient facility is the preferred rehab option, TRICARE covers twenty-one days or one inpatient stay in this facility per benefit period which is every 12 months. There are certain limits regarding the length of time a TRICARE member can remain in an inpatient center that accepts TRICARE, and there's typically a 30-45 day window that is covered. TRICARE also covers family treatment which can be very useful, as it may help include family members in the healing and recovery process. No person in the military should struggle with this battle alone, and there are skilled treatment counselors waiting to help you today.
