TRICARE is health care insurance which is offered to individuals in the military of the United States. Drug and alcohol use within the military is a lot more common than one would assume, and the need to offer treatment to these individuals is an important priority. TRICARE covers a variety of rehabilitation services to address alcohol and drug dependence such as detox services, along with treatment in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient settings. Those that have TRICARE will obviously be asked to obtain a prior approval before partaking in any type of rehabilitation service, which is often organized using their regional TRICARE representative. If an inpatient facility will be the favored rehab option, TRICARE covers 21 days or one inpatient stay in that center per benefit period which is every 365 days. There are certain limits as to how much time a TRICARE member can remain in the inpatient center that accepts TRICARE, and there is typically a 30 to 45 day window which is covered. TRICARE also covers family treatment which is often very beneficial, as it can help include loved ones in the healing and recovery process. No member of the military should struggle with this battle alone, and there are skilled rehab counselors waiting to help you today.
