TRICARE is medical health insurance which is provided to individuals in the armed forces of the United States. Drug abuse within the military is a lot more common than one would assume, and the necessity to provide rehabilitation to these individuals is an important priority. TRICARE covers many different rehab services to handle drug and alcohol dependence like detox services, as well as rehab in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient settings. Those that have TRICARE will naturally be required to obtain a prior approval before partaking in any type of rehabilitation service, which can be arranged using their regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient program will be the preferred treatment option, TRICARE will cover twenty-one days or one inpatient stay in that facility per benefit period which is every 365 days. There are specific limits regarding the length of time a TRICARE member can stay in an inpatient program that accepts TRICARE, then there is typically a 30 to 45 day window which is covered. TRICARE also covers family therapy which is often very beneficial, as it can help include family members in the healing and process of recovery. No person in the military should fight this battle alone, and there are professional rehabilitation counselors ready to help you today.
