TRICARE is health insurance which is offered to people in the armed forces of the United States. Substance abuse within the military is much more common than one would assume, and the need to provide rehabilitation to these individuals is a priority. TRICARE covers a number of rehab services to address drug and alcohol dependence including detox services, along with rehabilitation in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient programs. People with TRICARE will naturally be required to obtain a prior approval before partaking in any kind of rehab service, which can be arranged using their regional TRICARE representative. If an inpatient program could be the preferred rehab option, TRICARE will cover twenty-one days or one inpatient stay in this particular center per benefit period which is every 365 days. There are particular 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 is often very helpful, as it could help include family members in the healing and recovery process. No person in the military should fight this battle alone, and there are professional treatment counselors waiting to help today.
