TRICARE is health care insurance that is offered to individuals in the armed forces of the United States. Substance abuse within the military is more common than one would imagine, and the need to provide rehabilitation to these individuals is an important priority. TRICARE covers many different treatment services to cope with drug and alcohol dependence including detoxification services, as well as treatment in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient settings. People with TRICARE will naturally be required to obtain a prior approval before partaking in any sort of rehabilitation service, which can be arranged using a regional TRICARE representative. If an inpatient center will be the favored rehab option, TRICARE covers a three week period or one inpatient stay in this particular center per benefit period which is every 365 days. There are particular limits concerning how much time a TRICARE member can remain in an inpatient center that accepts TRICARE, and there's typically a 30-45 day window that is covered. TRICARE also covers family counselling which may be very beneficial, as it could help include loved ones in the healing and process of recovery. No member of the military should struggle with this battle alone, and there are professional rehabilitation counselors waiting to help you today.
