TRICARE is health insurance that is offered to folks in the military of the United States. Substance abuse within the military is a lot more common than one would assume, and the need to provide rehabilitation to these individuals is a priority. TRICARE covers a number of rehabilitation services to address alcohol and drug dependence including detox services, as well as rehabilitation in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient facilities. People with TRICARE will obviously have to obtain a prior approval before partaking in any sort of rehabilitation service, which can be organized with their regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient facility is the favored treatment option, TRICARE covers a 3 week period or one inpatient stay in this program per benefit period which is every 365 days. There are certain limits as to the length of time a TRICARE member can remain in an inpatient program that accepts TRICARE, and there is typically a 30 to 45 day window which is covered. TRICARE also covers family therapy which can be very beneficial, as it can help include family members in the healing and process of recovery. No person in the military should struggle with this battle alone, and there are skilled treatment counselors waiting to help you today.
