TRICARE is health insurance which is provided to members of the armed forces of the United States. Drug and alcohol use within the military is more common than one would assume, and the necessity to provide rehab to these individuals is a priority. TRICARE covers many different rehabilitation services to address drug and alcohol dependence including detox services, along with rehabilitation in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient programs. People who have TRICARE will of course be asked to obtain a prior authorization before partaking in any kind of rehab service, which may be organized using their regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient program is the preferred treatment option, TRICARE will cover a 3 week period or one inpatient stay in that facility per benefit period which is every 365 days. There are particular limits regarding the length of time a TRICARE member can remain in the inpatient facility that accepts TRICARE, then there is typically a 30-45 day window which is covered. TRICARE also covers family counselling which may be very beneficial, as it can 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 standing by to assist you today.
