TRICARE is health care insurance that is offered to individuals in the military of the United States. Drug abuse inside the military is much more common than one would imagine, and the need to provide rehabilitation to these individuals is a priority. TRICARE covers many different rehab services to handle alcohol and drug dependence such as detox services, as well as rehabilitation in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient settings. People who have TRICARE will of course have to have a prior authorization before taking part in any type of treatment service, which can be arranged using their regional TRICARE representative. If an inpatient facility is the preferred rehabilitation choice, TRICARE covers twenty-one days or one inpatient stay in that center per benefit period which is every 12 months. There are certain limits about the length of time a TRICARE member can remain in an inpatient center that accepts TRICARE, and there's typically a 30-45 day window that's covered. TRICARE also covers family treatment which can be very helpful, as it can 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 treatment counselors waiting to help today.
