TRICARE is medical insurance which is provided to individuals in the armed forces of the United States. Drug abuse inside the military is much more common than one would think, and the need to provide rehab to these individuals is an important priority. TRICARE covers many different rehabilitation services to deal with drug and alcohol dependence like detox services, as well as rehabilitation in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient programs. People who have TRICARE will obviously be required to have a prior authorization before partaking in any sort of rehabilitation service, which is often organized using a regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient facility could be the preferred rehabilitation option, TRICARE will cover twenty-one days or one inpatient stay in this facility per benefit period which is every 12 months. There are certain limits as to how much time a TRICARE member can remain within an inpatient facility that accepts TRICARE, and there is typically a 30 to 45 day window that is covered. TRICARE also covers family counselling which can be very useful, as it can help include loved ones in the healing and process of recovery. No member of the military should struggle with this battle alone, and there are professional rehabilitation counselors waiting to assist you today.
