TRICARE is health care insurance that's provided to people in the armed forces of the United States. Drug and alcohol use within the military is a lot more common than one would think, 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 like detoxification services, as well as rehab in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient settings. Individuals with TRICARE will obviously need to have a prior authorization before partaking in any kind of rehabilitation service, which can be arranged with their regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient center is the favored rehab option, TRICARE will cover twenty-one days or one inpatient stay in such a facility per benefit period which is every 12 months. There are certain limits regarding the length of time a TRICARE member can remain in an inpatient facility that accepts TRICARE, then there is typically a 30-45 day window that's covered. TRICARE also covers family treatment which is often very useful, as it may help include loved ones in the healing and process of recovery. No person in the military should struggle with this battle alone, and there are professional rehab counselors ready to assist you today.
