TRICARE is medical health insurance that is offered to people in the armed forces of the United States. Drug abuse within the military is much more common than one would think, and the need to provide rehabilitation to these individuals is a priority. TRICARE covers numerous treatment services to handle alcohol and drug dependence like detoxification services, as well as treatment in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient settings. Those that have TRICARE will obviously be asked to get a prior authorization before partaking in any sort of rehabilitation service, which can be organized with their regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient facility is the favored treatment choice, TRICARE will cover twenty-one days or one inpatient stay in such a center per benefit period which is every 365 days. There are certain limits about how long a TRICARE member can remain within an inpatient program that accepts TRICARE, and there's typically a 30-45 day window that's covered. TRICARE also covers family counselling which is often very helpful, as it could 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 treatment counselors ready to help today.
