TRICARE is health insurance that is offered to people in the armed forces of the United States. Drug abuse within the military is a lot more common than one would assume, and the necessity to offer rehab to these individuals is a vital priority. TRICARE covers a variety of treatment services to handle drug and alcohol dependence like detoxification services, and also rehabilitation in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient settings. Those that have TRICARE will obviously have to get a prior approval before partaking in any kind of rehab service, which can be organized using their regional TRICARE representative. If an inpatient facility will be the preferred treatment choice, TRICARE covers a three week period or one inpatient stay in this facility per benefit period which is every 12 months. There are specific limits as to how much time a TRICARE member can stay in an inpatient program that accepts TRICARE, and there's typically a 30 to 45 day window that's covered. TRICARE also covers family counselling that may be very useful, as it could help include family members in the healing and process of recovery. No person in the military should struggle with this battle alone, and there are skilled rehabilitation counselors ready to assist you today.
