TRICARE is health insurance that is offered to people in the military of the United States. Drug and alcohol use within the military is more common than one would think, and the necessity to offer treatment to these individuals is a priority. TRICARE covers many different treatment services to deal with drug and alcohol dependence including detoxification services, and also rehabilitation in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient programs. People with TRICARE will obviously be asked to have a prior authorization before taking part in any kind of rehab service, which is often organized using a regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient facility will be the favored treatment choice, TRICARE covers 21 days or one inpatient stay in such a facility per benefit period which is every 12 months. There are specific limits about how long a TRICARE member can stay in the inpatient center that accepts TRICARE, and there is typically a 30-45 day window that's covered. TRICARE also covers family counselling which can 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 professional rehabilitation counselors standing by to assist you today.
