TRICARE is health insurance that is provided to individuals in the armed forces of the United States. Drug and alcohol use inside the military is a lot more common than one would assume, and the need to provide rehab to these individuals is a vital priority. TRICARE covers a number of rehabilitation services to deal with alcohol and drug dependence like detox services, along with rehab in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient settings. Individuals with TRICARE will of course be required to get a prior approval before partaking in any type of rehabilitation service, which can be arranged using their regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient facility will be the preferred rehab choice, TRICARE will cover twenty-one days or one inpatient stay in this particular center per benefit period which is every 12 months. There are particular limits regarding the length of time a TRICARE member can stay in an inpatient center that accepts TRICARE, and there is typically a 30 to 45 day window that's covered. TRICARE also covers family counselling which is often very helpful, as it can help include loved ones in the healing and process of recovery. No person in the military should struggle with this battle alone, and there are skilled rehabilitation counselors waiting to help today.
