TRICARE is medical insurance that is provided to people in the armed forces of the United States. Drug and alcohol use inside the military is more common than one would assume, and the necessity to provide rehabilitation to these individuals is a vital priority. TRICARE covers many different rehabilitation services to deal with alcohol and drug dependence including detox services, as well as rehabilitation in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient facilities. People who have TRICARE will of course be required to obtain a prior authorization before partaking in any kind of rehabilitation service, that may be arranged with their regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient center could be the preferred rehab choice, TRICARE will cover a three week period or one inpatient stay in this facility per benefit period which is every 365 days. There are specific limits as to how long 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 that may be 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 professional treatment counselors standing by to help you today.
