TRICARE is medical health insurance which is provided to members of the armed forces of the United States. Substance abuse within the military is more common than one would think, and the need to provide rehab to these individuals is a priority. TRICARE covers numerous treatment services to address drug and alcohol dependence like detoxification services, as well as rehab in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient facilities. People who have TRICARE will obviously have to obtain a prior approval before partaking in any type of rehabilitation service, which can be organized using their regional TRICARE representative. If an inpatient program will be the favored rehabilitation choice, TRICARE covers a three week period or one inpatient stay in this program per benefit period which is every 365 days. There are specific limits regarding the length of time a TRICARE member can remain within an inpatient program that accepts TRICARE, and there's typically a 30 to 45 day window which is covered. TRICARE also covers family therapy which can be very useful, as it can 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 help you today.
