TRICARE is medical insurance that is offered to people in the military of the United States. Drug and alcohol use inside the military is more common than one would assume, and the necessity to provide rehab to these individuals is a priority. TRICARE covers a variety of rehabilitation services to handle alcohol and drug dependence including detox services, as well as rehab in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient facilities. Those that have TRICARE will of course need to get a prior approval before taking part in any type of rehabilitation service, which can be arranged using a regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient facility will be the favored rehab option, TRICARE covers twenty-one days or one inpatient stay in such a center per benefit period which is every 365 days. There are specific limits as to just how long a TRICARE member can remain in an inpatient facility that accepts TRICARE, and there's typically a 30-45 day window which is covered. TRICARE also covers family counselling that may be very beneficial, as it can certainly help include family members in the healing and process of recovery. No member of the military should fight this battle alone, and there are skilled rehabilitation counselors standing by to help you today.
