TRICARE is medical health insurance that's provided to members of the armed forces of the United States. Drug and alcohol use within the military is more common than one would assume, and the need to offer rehabilitation to these individuals is a priority. TRICARE covers many different treatment services to address drug and alcohol dependence including detox services, and also rehabilitation in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient programs. Those that have TRICARE will of course have to have a prior authorization before partaking in any sort of rehabilitation service, which can be organized using their regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient facility is the preferred rehab option, TRICARE will cover twenty-one days or one inpatient stay in this particular facility per benefit period which is every 365 days. There are specific limits regarding just how long a TRICARE member can stay in an inpatient center that accepts TRICARE, then there is typically a 30 to 45 day window that is covered. TRICARE also covers family counselling that may be very beneficial, 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 rehab counselors waiting to help you today.
