TRICARE is medical insurance that is offered to people 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 provide rehab to these individuals is a priority. TRICARE covers a number of rehab services to cope with drug and alcohol dependence like detoxification services, along with rehab in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient settings. Those that have TRICARE will obviously be asked to have a prior authorization before taking part in any kind of treatment service, which is often organized using their regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient center will be the preferred rehabilitation choice, TRICARE covers a 3 week period or one inpatient stay in that program per benefit period which is every 365 days. There are certain limits as to how much time a TRICARE member can remain in an inpatient program that accepts TRICARE, and there is typically a 30-45 day window that is covered. TRICARE also covers family treatment which is often very beneficial, as it may help include family members in the healing and recovery process. No member of the military should fight this battle alone, and there are skilled rehabilitation counselors ready to assist you today.
