TRICARE is medical insurance which is provided to individuals in the military of the United States. Drug and alcohol use within the military is more common than one would imagine, and the necessity to provide rehabilitation to these individuals is a vital priority. TRICARE covers many different treatment services to cope with drug and alcohol dependence including detoxification services, along with rehabilitation in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient settings. Those that have TRICARE will obviously be required to obtain a prior approval before taking part in any sort of rehab service, that may be organized using their regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient center is the favored rehabilitation choice, TRICARE will cover a 3 week period or one inpatient stay in this center per benefit period which is every 365 days. There are particular limits as to the length of time a TRICARE member can remain in an inpatient facility that accepts TRICARE, then there is typically a 30 to 45 day window that's covered. TRICARE also covers family counselling which may be very beneficial, as it could help include loved ones in the healing and process of recovery. No member of the military should fight this battle alone, and there are skilled rehabilitation counselors ready to help today.
