TRICARE is health care insurance which is offered to individuals in the military of the United States. Drug and alcohol use inside the military is much more common than one would assume, and the need to offer rehab to these individuals is an important priority. TRICARE covers numerous treatment services to address drug and alcohol dependence including detox services, in addition to treatment in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient settings. Those that have TRICARE will of course be asked to have a prior approval before taking part in any kind of rehab service, which is often arranged using their regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient center is the favored treatment option, TRICARE will cover a 3 week period or one inpatient stay in that center per benefit period which is every 12 months. There are specific limits as to how much time a TRICARE member can stay in an inpatient center that accepts TRICARE, and there is typically a 30-45 day window that's covered. TRICARE also covers family counselling which may be very helpful, as it may help include family members in the healing and process of recovery. No person in the military should struggle with this battle alone, and there are professional treatment counselors waiting to help you today.
