TRICARE is health care insurance that's offered to members of the armed forces of the United States. Substance abuse inside the military is much more common than one would assume, and the need to provide rehabilitation to these individuals is a vital priority. TRICARE covers numerous rehab services to handle alcohol and drug dependence like detox services, as well as treatment in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient facilities. People who have TRICARE will obviously have to get a prior approval before taking part in any sort of rehab service, which may be arranged using their regional TRICARE representative. If an inpatient center will be the favored rehabilitation option, TRICARE covers a three week period or one inpatient stay in this facility per benefit period which is every 12 months. There are particular limits about how long a TRICARE member can remain in the inpatient center that accepts TRICARE, and there is typically a 30-45 day window that's covered. TRICARE also covers family counselling which may be very beneficial, as it may help include family members in the healing and recovery process. No member of the military should struggle with this battle alone, and there are professional rehabilitation counselors ready to help you today.
