TRICARE is health care insurance that is provided to members of the military of the United States. Drug and alcohol use inside the military is a lot more common than one would assume, and the necessity to offer rehab to these individuals is an important priority. TRICARE covers a variety of treatment services to address alcohol and drug dependence such as detox services, as well as rehabilitation in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient facilities. Individuals with TRICARE will of course have to obtain a prior authorization before taking part in any sort of rehabilitation service, which can be arranged using a regional TRICARE representative. If an inpatient program is the favored rehabilitation option, TRICARE covers a 3 week period or one inpatient stay in this program per benefit period which is every 12 months. There are specific limits about the length of time a TRICARE member can stay within an inpatient program that accepts TRICARE, and there's typically a 30-45 day window which is covered. TRICARE also covers family therapy which may be very beneficial, as it could 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 today.
