TRICARE is medical insurance that is offered to members of the armed forces of the United States. Drug and alcohol use within the military is much more common than one would think, and the necessity to provide rehabilitation to these individuals is an important priority. TRICARE covers many different treatment services to handle drug and alcohol dependence including detoxification services, as well as treatment in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient programs. Those that have TRICARE will of course need to have a prior authorization before taking part in any kind of rehab service, which is often arranged with their regional TRICARE representative. If an inpatient center could be the preferred rehab choice, TRICARE will cover 21 days or one inpatient stay in this facility per benefit period which is every 365 days. There are particular limits about the length of time a TRICARE member can stay in an inpatient facility that accepts TRICARE, and there's typically a 30 to 45 day window that is covered. TRICARE also covers family therapy which can be very helpful, as it could 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 rehabilitation counselors waiting to assist you today.
