TRICARE is medical health insurance that is offered to members of the armed forces of the United States. Drug abuse within the military is much more common than one would think, and the need to offer rehab to these individuals is a crucial priority. TRICARE covers a variety of rehab services to handle alcohol and drug dependence such as detoxification services, as well as rehab in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient facilities. People with TRICARE will obviously be required to have a prior authorization before partaking in any kind of rehabilitation service, that may be arranged using their regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient center will be the favored rehab choice, TRICARE covers twenty-one days or one inpatient stay in such a program per benefit period which is every 12 months. There are specific limits about how much time a TRICARE member can remain in an inpatient facility that accepts TRICARE, and there is typically a 30-45 day window that's covered. TRICARE also covers family counselling which may be very beneficial, as it could 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 expert rehab counselors waiting to help today.
