TRICARE is health care insurance that's provided to members of the military of the United States. Substance abuse within the military is much more common than one would imagine, and the need to provide treatment to these individuals is an important priority. TRICARE covers many different rehabilitation services to address alcohol and drug dependence like detoxification services, as well as treatment in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient programs. Individuals with TRICARE will of course need to obtain a prior authorization before partaking in any type of rehabilitation service, that may be organized with their regional TRICARE representative. If an inpatient program is the favored rehabilitation choice, TRICARE will cover a three week period or one inpatient stay in that center per benefit period which is every 365 days. There are specific limits about just how long a TRICARE member can stay in the inpatient program that accepts TRICARE, and there is typically a 30-45 day window that's covered. TRICARE also covers family therapy which can be very useful, as it can certainly help include family members in the healing and process of recovery. No person in the military should fight this battle alone, and there are professional treatment counselors standing by to assist you today.
