TRICARE is health care insurance that is provided to folks in the armed forces of the United States. Substance abuse inside the military is a lot more common than one would assume, and the necessity to provide rehab to these individuals is an important priority. TRICARE covers many different rehab services to handle alcohol and drug dependence such as detoxification services, as well as rehabilitation in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient facilities. Those that have TRICARE will obviously be required to obtain a prior approval before partaking in any type of rehabilitation service, which may be arranged using a regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient facility will be the preferred rehab option, TRICARE will cover 21 days or one inpatient stay in this facility per benefit period which is every 365 days. There are particular limits about just how long a TRICARE member can stay in the inpatient center that accepts TRICARE, and there is typically a 30-45 day window that's covered. TRICARE also covers family counselling which may be very beneficial, as it can certainly help include loved ones in the healing and process of recovery. No person in the military should fight this battle alone, and there are professional rehabilitation counselors ready to help today.
