TRICARE is medical insurance that is offered to individuals in the military of the United States. Drug abuse within the military is more common than one would assume, and the necessity to offer treatment to these individuals is a priority. TRICARE covers a number of rehab services to deal with alcohol and drug dependence like detox services, and also rehabilitation in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient programs. Individuals with TRICARE will obviously need to have a prior approval before taking part in any type of treatment service, which can be organized using their regional TRICARE representative. If an inpatient facility will be the favored rehab option, TRICARE will cover 21 days or one inpatient stay in such a center per benefit period which is every 12 months. There are certain limits as to how long a TRICARE member can remain in the inpatient facility that accepts TRICARE, and there is typically a 30 to 45 day window that's covered. TRICARE also covers family treatment which can be very useful, as it can certainly 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 standing by to help you today.
