TRICARE is health insurance that's provided to folks in the armed forces of the United States. Substance abuse inside the military is more common than one would think, and the need to provide treatment to these individuals is a priority. TRICARE covers many different rehab services to deal with drug and alcohol dependence like detoxification services, along with rehabilitation in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient settings. People with TRICARE will of course need to get a prior authorization before taking part in any type of rehab service, which may be organized using their regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient center will be the favored rehab option, TRICARE will cover 21 days or one inpatient stay in such a center per benefit period which is every 365 days. There are specific limits about how much time a TRICARE member can remain in an inpatient facility that accepts TRICARE, and there is typically a 30-45 day window which is covered. TRICARE also covers family counselling which is often very beneficial, as it may 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 expert treatment counselors standing by to help today.
