TRICARE is health care insurance that's offered to people in the military of the United States. Drug and alcohol use within the military is much more common than one would think, and the need to provide rehab to these individuals is a priority. TRICARE covers many different treatment services to cope with drug and alcohol dependence including detoxification services, along with rehabilitation in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient facilities. Those that have TRICARE will obviously be required to have a prior approval before partaking in any kind of rehab service, which may be arranged with their regional TRICARE representative. If an inpatient facility could be the preferred rehab option, TRICARE will cover a 3 week period or one inpatient stay in such a program per benefit period which is every 365 days. There are certain limits as to how long a TRICARE member can remain in the inpatient program that accepts TRICARE, and there's typically a 30-45 day window that's covered. TRICARE also covers family treatment which may be very useful, as it can certainly 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 waiting to assist you today.
