TRICARE is health insurance which is offered to people in the military of the United States. Drug abuse inside the military is a lot more common than one would think, and the need to offer rehabilitation to these individuals is a vital priority. TRICARE covers many different rehabilitation services to handle alcohol and drug dependence such as detoxification services, and also treatment in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient settings. People with TRICARE will obviously be required to obtain a prior authorization before taking part in any type of treatment service, that may be arranged using a regional TRICARE representative. If an inpatient center is the preferred treatment option, TRICARE covers twenty-one days or one inpatient stay in this particular facility per benefit period which is every 12 months. There are certain limits concerning how long a TRICARE member can remain in the inpatient center that accepts TRICARE, and there is typically a 30 to 45 day window that's covered. TRICARE also covers family therapy which may be very useful, as it can certainly help include family members in the healing and recovery process. No person in the military should fight this battle alone, and there are skilled rehabilitation counselors ready to help today.
