TRICARE is medical health insurance which is provided to people in the military of the United States. Drug and alcohol use inside the military is much more common than one would think, and the need to provide rehabilitation to these individuals is a vital priority. TRICARE covers a number of rehab services to cope with alcohol and drug dependence such as detox services, in addition to rehabilitation in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient programs. People who have TRICARE will obviously need to have a prior authorization before partaking in any type of rehabilitation service, which can be organized with their regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient program will be the preferred rehab choice, TRICARE covers twenty-one days or one inpatient stay in this particular facility per benefit period which is every 12 months. There are specific limits as to how much time a TRICARE member can remain in an inpatient program that accepts TRICARE, and there is typically a 30-45 day window that's covered. TRICARE also covers family counselling which can be very beneficial, as it may help include family members in the healing and recovery process. No member of the military should struggle with this battle alone, and there are professional rehab counselors ready to help you today.
