TRICARE is health care insurance which is provided to people in the military of the United States. Drug abuse within the military is a lot more common than one would think, and the need to provide rehabilitation to these individuals is an important priority. TRICARE covers many different treatment services to cope with alcohol and drug dependence including detox services, as well as rehabilitation in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient settings. People who have TRICARE will naturally be required to obtain a prior authorization before partaking in any kind of rehabilitation service, that may be arranged with their regional TRICARE representative. If an inpatient center will be the favored treatment option, TRICARE will cover a 3 week period or one inpatient stay in that center per benefit period which is every 365 days. There are particular limits about how much time a TRICARE member can remain in an inpatient center that accepts TRICARE, and there's typically a 30-45 day window that is covered. TRICARE also covers family treatment which is often very useful, as it may help include family members in the healing and process of recovery. No member of the military should struggle with this battle alone, and there are expert rehabilitation counselors standing by to help today.
