TRICARE is medical health insurance that is provided to individuals in the military of the United States. Substance abuse within the military is a lot more common than one would imagine, and the need to provide rehabilitation to these individuals is a crucial priority. TRICARE covers many different treatment services to address alcohol and drug dependence such as detox services, along with treatment in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient settings. Those that have TRICARE will naturally be required to obtain a prior authorization before taking part in any type of rehab service, that may be arranged with their regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient facility is the preferred rehab choice, TRICARE covers twenty-one days or one inpatient stay in this particular facility per benefit period which is every 365 days. There are specific limits regarding just how long a TRICARE member can stay within an inpatient facility that accepts TRICARE, then there is typically a 30-45 day window that's covered. TRICARE also covers family therapy which may be very useful, as it may help include loved ones in the healing and recovery process. No person in the military should struggle with this battle alone, and there are skilled rehab counselors standing by to help you today.
