TRICARE is health care insurance that's offered to members of the military of the United States. Drug and alcohol use inside the military is a lot more common than one would imagine, and the need to provide treatment to these individuals is an important priority. TRICARE covers many different treatment services to cope with alcohol and drug dependence including detox services, along with rehab in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient facilities. People with TRICARE will obviously need to have a prior approval before partaking in any sort of rehabilitation service, which is often organized with their regional TRICARE representative. If an inpatient center will be the favored rehabilitation choice, TRICARE will cover twenty-one days or one inpatient stay in such a center per benefit period which is every 365 days. There are certain limits concerning how much time a TRICARE member can remain within an inpatient program that accepts TRICARE, and there is typically a 30-45 day window that is covered. TRICARE also covers family counselling which may be very useful, as it can certainly help include family members in the healing and process of recovery. No member of the military should struggle with this battle alone, and there are skilled treatment counselors ready to help today.
