TRICARE is health insurance that's provided to members of the armed forces of the United States. Drug abuse inside the military is more common than one would assume, and the necessity to provide rehabilitation to these individuals is a priority. TRICARE covers many different rehab services to deal with drug and alcohol dependence such as detoxification services, as well as rehab in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient facilities. People with TRICARE will of course have to have a prior approval before partaking in any kind of treatment service, which can be arranged with their regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient center is the preferred rehabilitation choice, TRICARE will cover twenty-one days or one inpatient stay in such a program per benefit period which is every 365 days. There are particular limits regarding how much time a TRICARE member can remain in the inpatient program that accepts TRICARE, then there is typically a 30-45 day window that is covered. TRICARE also covers family treatment which may be very useful, as it can certainly help include loved ones in the healing and process of recovery. No member of the military should fight this battle alone, and there are skilled rehab counselors waiting to help you today.
