TRICARE is health insurance that is offered to members of the armed forces of the United States. Drug abuse within the military is more common than one would think, and the necessity to offer rehab to these individuals is a priority. TRICARE covers many different rehab services to handle alcohol and drug dependence including detoxification services, in addition to rehab in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient settings. Those that have TRICARE will obviously be required to have a prior approval before taking part in any sort of treatment service, which can be organized using a regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient center is the favored rehab choice, TRICARE will cover 21 days or one inpatient stay in this particular program per benefit period which is every 12 months. There are specific limits concerning the length of time a TRICARE member can remain in an inpatient center that accepts TRICARE, and there's typically a 30 to 45 day window that is covered. TRICARE also covers family therapy which is often very helpful, as it can 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 rehab counselors ready to help today.
