TRICARE is health care insurance that's provided to individuals in the armed forces of the United States. Substance abuse within the military is more common than one would imagine, and the need to provide treatment to these individuals is an important priority. TRICARE covers many different treatment services to handle drug and alcohol dependence like detox services, and also treatment in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient programs. Individuals with TRICARE will naturally need to have a prior approval before taking part in any type of treatment service, which can be organized with their regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient facility could be the preferred treatment option, TRICARE covers twenty-one days or one inpatient stay in this center per benefit period which is every 365 days. There are particular limits about how long a TRICARE member can remain in an inpatient facility that accepts TRICARE, and there's typically a 30-45 day window that is covered. TRICARE also covers family treatment which is often very helpful, as it could 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 rehab counselors ready to assist you today.
