TRICARE is medical insurance that's offered to individuals in the military of the United States. Drug and alcohol use inside the military is much more common than one would think, and the need to offer treatment to these individuals is a priority. TRICARE covers a number of treatment services to cope with drug and alcohol dependence including detoxification services, as well as rehabilitation in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient programs. People who have TRICARE will of course have to have a prior approval before taking part in any type of treatment service, which can be arranged using their regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient facility will be the favored rehabilitation choice, 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 much time a TRICARE member can stay in an inpatient center that accepts TRICARE, then there is typically a 30-45 day window that is covered. TRICARE also covers family therapy which is often very beneficial, as it could help include family members in the healing and process of recovery. No person in the military should fight this battle alone, and there are skilled rehabilitation counselors waiting to help you today.
