TRICARE is medical health insurance that's offered to individuals in the armed forces of the United States. Drug abuse inside the military is a lot more common than one would think, and the need to provide rehabilitation to these individuals is an important priority. TRICARE covers a number of rehabilitation services to address drug and alcohol dependence including detoxification services, as well as rehabilitation in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient facilities. People who have TRICARE will of course need to get a prior approval before partaking in any kind of treatment service, which is often organized using their regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient center will be the preferred rehab option, TRICARE will cover a three week period or one inpatient stay in this particular center per benefit period which is every 12 months. There are specific limits as to just how long a TRICARE member can remain in an inpatient facility that accepts TRICARE, and there is typically a 30 to 45 day window that's covered. TRICARE also covers family therapy that may be very helpful, as it could help include loved ones in the healing and process of recovery. No person in the military should struggle with this battle alone, and there are professional treatment counselors ready to help you today.
