TRICARE is health insurance that is provided to people in the military of the United States. Substance abuse inside the military is a lot more common than one would imagine, and the necessity to provide rehabilitation to these individuals is a priority. TRICARE covers numerous rehabilitation services to handle alcohol and drug dependence including detox services, as well as rehabilitation in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient programs. People with TRICARE will of course need to obtain a prior approval before partaking in any kind of rehab service, which can be arranged with their regional TRICARE representative. If an inpatient facility will be the favored treatment choice, TRICARE covers twenty-one days or one inpatient stay in this facility per benefit period which is every 12 months. There are certain limits as to how long a TRICARE member can stay in the inpatient program that accepts TRICARE, then there is typically a 30-45 day window that's covered. TRICARE also covers family counselling which is often very beneficial, as it can certainly help include loved ones in the healing and process of recovery. No person in the military should fight this battle alone, and there are expert rehab counselors ready to help you today.
