TRICARE is medical insurance which is provided to individuals in the armed forces of the United States. Substance abuse within the military is a lot more common than one would assume, and the need to provide rehabilitation to these individuals is a crucial priority. TRICARE covers a variety of rehabilitation services to handle drug and alcohol dependence such as detox services, along with rehab in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient facilities. People with TRICARE will of course be asked to have a prior authorization before taking part in any type of rehab service, which can be organized using their regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient center could be the preferred rehab option, TRICARE covers 21 days or one inpatient stay in such a facility per benefit period which is every 12 months. There are certain limits about how much time a TRICARE member can stay in an inpatient facility that accepts TRICARE, and there's typically a 30 to 45 day window that's covered. TRICARE also covers family treatment which is often very beneficial, as it could help include family members in the healing and recovery process. No member of the military should fight this battle alone, and there are skilled rehabilitation counselors waiting to assist you today.
