TRICARE is health insurance which is provided to people in the armed forces of the United States. Substance abuse within the military is much more common than one would assume, and the necessity to provide rehabilitation to these individuals is an important priority. TRICARE covers numerous rehab services to address drug and alcohol dependence including detoxification services, and also treatment in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient settings. Individuals with TRICARE will obviously be asked to obtain a prior authorization before partaking in any sort of treatment service, that may be organized using a regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient program will be the preferred treatment choice, TRICARE will cover twenty-one days or one inpatient stay in this program per benefit period which is every 365 days. There are specific limits concerning the length of time a TRICARE member can stay within an inpatient facility that accepts TRICARE, then there is typically a 30 to 45 day window that is covered. TRICARE also covers family therapy that may be very useful, as it can help include family members in the healing and process of recovery. No member of the military should struggle with this battle alone, and there are skilled rehab counselors standing by to help you today.
