TRICARE is health care insurance that's provided to people in the armed forces of the United States. Substance abuse inside the military is a lot more common than one would assume, and the need to offer rehab to these individuals is an important priority. TRICARE covers a variety of rehab services to address drug and alcohol dependence like detoxification services, as well as rehab in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient programs. People who have TRICARE will of course be asked to have a prior authorization before partaking in any sort of rehabilitation service, which is often organized using a regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient facility will be the preferred rehab choice, TRICARE will cover a 3 week period or one inpatient stay in that 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 facility that accepts TRICARE, and there's typically a 30 to 45 day window that is covered. TRICARE also covers family counselling that may be very useful, as it can certainly 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 treatment counselors waiting to assist you today.
