TRICARE is medical insurance that is provided to people in the military of the United States. Drug and alcohol use inside the military is a lot more common than one would imagine, and the necessity to provide rehab to these individuals is an important priority. TRICARE covers a number of rehab services to address drug and alcohol dependence such as detoxification services, as well as rehab in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient settings. Those that have TRICARE will obviously be asked to have a prior authorization before partaking in any kind of rehabilitation service, that may be organized using a regional TRICARE representative. If an inpatient program will be the preferred rehabilitation option, TRICARE covers twenty-one days or one inpatient stay in that facility per benefit period which is every 12 months. There are certain limits about how long a TRICARE member can remain within an inpatient center that accepts TRICARE, and there's typically a 30-45 day window which is covered. TRICARE also covers family counselling that may be very beneficial, as it may help include family members in the healing and process of recovery. No person in the military should struggle with this battle alone, and there are expert rehab counselors ready to help today.
