TRICARE is health insurance that is provided to individuals in the armed forces of the United States. Drug and alcohol use within the military is more common than one would assume, and the need to provide rehabilitation to these individuals is a vital priority. TRICARE covers many different rehabilitation services to deal with alcohol and drug dependence such as detoxification services, along with treatment in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient facilities. Those that have TRICARE will obviously be required to obtain a prior authorization before partaking in any type of rehab service, which can be arranged using a regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient program could be the preferred rehabilitation choice, TRICARE will cover a 3 week period or one inpatient stay in this particular center per benefit period which is every 365 days. There are specific limits concerning the length of time a TRICARE member can stay within an inpatient facility that accepts TRICARE, and there is typically a 30 to 45 day window that's covered. TRICARE also covers family counselling which is often very useful, as it may help include family members in the healing and recovery process. No person in the military should struggle with this battle alone, and there are skilled rehab counselors waiting to assist you today.
