TRICARE is health care insurance that is provided to folks in the armed forces of the United States. Drug abuse inside the military is much more common than one would think, and the necessity to provide rehabilitation to these individuals is an important priority. TRICARE covers many different rehab 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 of course be asked to have a prior authorization before taking part in any type of treatment service, which is often organized using a regional TRICARE representative. If an inpatient facility is the preferred rehab option, TRICARE covers a three week period or one inpatient stay in such a facility per benefit period which is every 12 months. There are certain limits as to how long a TRICARE member can remain within an inpatient program that accepts TRICARE, then there is typically a 30 to 45 day window that's covered. TRICARE also covers family therapy which may be very beneficial, as it can help include family members in the healing and process of recovery. No member of the military should struggle with this battle alone, and there are professional rehab counselors standing by to help you today.
