TRICARE is health insurance that's provided to individuals 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 provide treatment to these individuals is a crucial priority. TRICARE covers a variety of rehabilitation services to address drug and alcohol dependence including detox services, and also rehabilitation in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient settings. Individuals with TRICARE will naturally be required to have a prior approval before taking part in any sort of treatment service, which may be organized using their regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient facility will be the favored rehab option, TRICARE covers 21 days or one inpatient stay in this particular center per benefit period which is every 365 days. There are specific limits about just how long a TRICARE member can remain in an inpatient program that accepts TRICARE, and there's typically a 30 to 45 day window that's covered. TRICARE also covers family counselling which can be very useful, as it could help include family members in the healing and process of recovery. No member of the military should struggle with this battle alone, and there are professional rehab counselors standing by to help you today.
