TRICARE is health care insurance which is provided to folks in the military of the United States. Drug abuse within the military is much more common than one would assume, and the need to provide treatment to these individuals is a priority. TRICARE covers numerous rehab services to address alcohol and drug dependence including detoxification services, as well as rehabilitation in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient facilities. People who have TRICARE will of course have to get a prior approval before taking part in any type of treatment service, which can be arranged using their regional TRICARE representative. If an inpatient facility will be the preferred rehab choice, TRICARE will cover twenty-one days or one inpatient stay in this particular center per benefit period which is every 12 months. There are certain limits about how much time a TRICARE member can remain in an inpatient program that accepts TRICARE, and there's typically a 30-45 day window that's covered. TRICARE also covers family therapy which is often very useful, as it could help include family members in the healing and recovery process. No person in the military should fight this battle alone, and there are professional treatment counselors waiting to help today.
