TRICARE is health care insurance that's offered to people in the military of the United States. Drug abuse within the military is a lot more common than one would assume, and the need to offer treatment to these individuals is an important priority. TRICARE covers a variety of treatment services to address alcohol and drug dependence such as detoxification services, along with rehab in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient settings. People who have TRICARE will obviously need to have a prior approval before partaking in any sort of rehabilitation service, which may be arranged using their regional TRICARE representative. If an inpatient facility will be the preferred rehabilitation choice, TRICARE will cover a three week period or one inpatient stay in such a program per benefit period which is every 12 months. There are particular limits regarding the length of time a TRICARE member can remain in the inpatient program that accepts TRICARE, then there is typically a 30 to 45 day window that is covered. TRICARE also covers family therapy that may be very helpful, as it may help include family members in the healing and recovery process. No member of the military should fight this battle alone, and there are expert treatment counselors waiting to help today.
