TRICARE is medical insurance that is provided to members of the military of the United States. Drug and alcohol use within the military is a lot more common than one would assume, and the necessity to provide treatment to these individuals is a vital priority. TRICARE covers a variety of rehab services to handle drug and alcohol dependence such as detoxification services, in addition to rehabilitation in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient programs. People who have TRICARE will of course have to obtain a prior authorization before partaking in any type of rehab service, which can be organized using a regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient center will be the preferred rehab choice, TRICARE will cover a three week period or one inpatient stay in this facility per benefit period which is every 12 months. There are particular limits concerning just how long a TRICARE member can remain in an inpatient program that accepts TRICARE, and there's typically a 30 to 45 day window that's covered. TRICARE also covers family treatment that may be very beneficial, as it can certainly help include loved ones in the healing and process of recovery. No person in the military should fight this battle alone, and there are skilled treatment counselors waiting to help you today.
