TRICARE is health insurance that is provided to individuals in the armed forces of the United States. Drug and alcohol use inside the military is more common than one would imagine, and the need to offer rehabilitation to these individuals is a vital priority. TRICARE covers a number of rehabilitation services to cope with alcohol and drug dependence including detox services, along with rehab in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient settings. People with TRICARE will obviously have to obtain a prior authorization before partaking in any kind of rehab service, which can be organized with their regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient program is the favored rehabilitation option, TRICARE covers a three week period or one inpatient stay in this particular program per benefit period which is every 12 months. There are particular limits regarding how long a TRICARE member can remain within an inpatient program that accepts TRICARE, and there's typically a 30-45 day window which is 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 person in the military should struggle with this battle alone, and there are professional rehab counselors waiting to help you today.
