TRICARE is medical health insurance that is offered to people in the armed forces of the United States. Drug and alcohol use within the military is much more common than one would think, and the need to provide rehabilitation to these individuals is a priority. TRICARE covers a variety of treatment services to address alcohol and drug dependence including detox services, and also rehab in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient programs. People with TRICARE will of course have to obtain a prior authorization before taking part in any kind of rehab service, which is often organized with their regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient facility will be the favored rehabilitation option, TRICARE will cover a three week period or one inpatient stay in that center per benefit period which is every 12 months. There are certain limits regarding how much time a TRICARE member can remain in an inpatient facility that accepts TRICARE, and there is typically a 30 to 45 day window that is covered. TRICARE also covers family therapy which may be very helpful, as it can certainly help include loved ones in the healing and recovery process. No person in the military should struggle with this battle alone, and there are skilled treatment counselors ready to assist you today.
