TRICARE is health care insurance that's provided to individuals in the military of the United States. Substance abuse inside the military is a lot more common than one would assume, and the necessity to provide rehabilitation to these individuals is a vital priority. TRICARE covers a number of treatment services to address drug and alcohol dependence such as detoxification services, along with rehabilitation in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient settings. Those that have TRICARE will naturally be required to have a prior approval before partaking in any type of treatment service, which is often organized with their regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient center will be the preferred rehab option, TRICARE covers 21 days or one inpatient stay in this program per benefit period which is every 12 months. There are specific limits as to how much time a TRICARE member can stay in an inpatient facility that accepts TRICARE, and there's typically a 30 to 45 day window that's covered. TRICARE also covers family treatment which is often very beneficial, as it may help include loved ones in the healing and recovery process. No person in the military should struggle with this battle alone, and there are professional rehab counselors waiting to assist you today.
