TRICARE is health care insurance that's provided to members of the armed forces of the United States. Drug and alcohol use within the military is more common than one would imagine, and the need to provide rehab to these individuals is a vital priority. TRICARE covers a number of rehabilitation services to cope with alcohol and drug dependence like detox services, and also rehab in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient programs. People who have TRICARE will of course be asked to obtain a prior authorization before taking part in any type of rehabilitation service, which can be arranged using their regional TRICARE representative. If an inpatient facility will be the preferred rehab option, TRICARE will cover a 3 week period or one inpatient stay in that program per benefit period which is every 365 days. There are specific limits about how long a TRICARE member can remain in an inpatient facility that accepts TRICARE, and there is typically a 30-45 day window that's covered. TRICARE also covers family treatment which is often very helpful, as it may help include family members in the healing and recovery process. No person in the military should fight this battle alone, and there are skilled rehab counselors waiting to assist you today.
