TRICARE is medical insurance that is provided to people in the military of the United States. Substance abuse within the military is more common than one would imagine, and the need to provide treatment to these individuals is a priority. TRICARE covers numerous rehab services to handle alcohol and drug dependence including detox services, and also rehabilitation in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient settings. People with TRICARE will of course have to get a prior authorization before taking part in any type of rehab service, that may be arranged using their regional TRICARE representative. If an inpatient facility is the favored rehabilitation choice, TRICARE covers 21 days or one inpatient stay in this particular facility per benefit period which is every 12 months. There are specific limits concerning how much time a TRICARE member can remain in the inpatient center that accepts TRICARE, then there is typically a 30-45 day window which is covered. TRICARE also covers family therapy which may be very beneficial, as it may help include loved ones in the healing and process of recovery. No member of the military should fight this battle alone, and there are skilled rehab counselors ready to help today.
