TRICARE is health care insurance which is offered to members of the military of the United States. Substance abuse within the military is a lot more common than one would think, and the need to provide rehab to these individuals is a vital priority. TRICARE covers many different rehabilitation services to deal with drug and alcohol dependence like detox services, in addition to rehabilitation 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 sort of treatment service, which can be organized using their regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient program is the favored rehabilitation choice, TRICARE covers 21 days or one inpatient stay in that facility per benefit period which is every 365 days. There are certain limits as to how long a TRICARE member can stay in an inpatient program that accepts TRICARE, and there is typically a 30-45 day window that's covered. TRICARE also covers family therapy that may be very helpful, as it can help include family members in the healing and recovery process. No person in the military should fight this battle alone, and there are professional treatment counselors ready to help today.
