TRICARE is health care insurance that is offered to people in the military of the United States. Drug and alcohol use inside the military is more common than one would think, and the need to offer rehabilitation to these individuals is an important priority. TRICARE covers a number of rehabilitation services to address alcohol and drug dependence including detox services, and also rehabilitation in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient settings. People with TRICARE will naturally have to have a prior authorization before partaking in any kind of rehabilitation service, which can be organized with their regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient facility is the favored rehab choice, TRICARE covers twenty-one days or one inpatient stay in such a facility per benefit period which is every 365 days. There are particular limits about how long a TRICARE member can stay in an inpatient center that accepts TRICARE, then there is typically a 30 to 45 day window which is covered. TRICARE also covers family therapy which can be very useful, as it may help include family members in the healing and process of recovery. No person in the military should struggle with this battle alone, and there are skilled treatment counselors waiting to help you today.
