TRICARE is health care insurance that's offered to people in the military of the United States. Drug abuse within the military is much more common than one would think, and the need to offer rehab to these individuals is a priority. TRICARE covers a number of treatment services to address drug and alcohol dependence including detoxification services, as well as rehabilitation in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient settings. People with TRICARE will obviously have to have a prior authorization before taking part in any type of treatment service, which may be organized using their regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient facility will be the favored treatment option, TRICARE covers a three week period or one inpatient stay in such a program per benefit period which is every 365 days. There are certain limits as to just how long a TRICARE member can remain within an inpatient program that accepts TRICARE, and there is typically a 30-45 day window that is covered. TRICARE also covers family therapy which can be very helpful, as it can certainly help include family members in the healing and process of recovery. No member of the military should fight this battle alone, and there are skilled treatment counselors standing by to help today.
