TRICARE is medical insurance which is offered to individuals in the armed forces of the United States. Drug and alcohol use within the military is a lot more common than one would imagine, and the need to offer rehab to these individuals is a vital priority. TRICARE covers many different rehabilitation services to handle alcohol and drug dependence including detoxification services, as well as rehabilitation in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient settings. Those that have TRICARE will obviously be required to get a prior approval before taking part in any type of rehab service, which may be arranged with their regional TRICARE representative. If an inpatient facility is the favored rehab option, TRICARE will cover twenty-one days or one inpatient stay in this particular facility per benefit period which is every 12 months. There are particular limits about how long a TRICARE member can remain in the inpatient program that accepts TRICARE, and there is typically a 30 to 45 day window that's covered. TRICARE also covers family treatment which can be very beneficial, as it can help include loved ones in the healing and recovery process. No member of the military should struggle with this battle alone, and there are expert rehabilitation counselors ready to help you today.
