TRICARE is medical insurance that's provided to people in the armed forces of the United States. Drug and alcohol use within the military is more common than one would imagine, and the necessity to provide treatment to these individuals is an important priority. TRICARE covers many different rehab services to address alcohol and drug dependence such as detoxification services, as well as treatment in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient settings. People with TRICARE will naturally be asked to obtain a prior approval before partaking in any sort of rehabilitation service, that may be arranged using their regional TRICARE representative. If an inpatient program is the favored treatment option, TRICARE will cover a 3 week period or one inpatient stay in this facility per benefit period which is every 365 days. There are particular limits about how much time a TRICARE member can stay in an inpatient facility that accepts TRICARE, then there is typically a 30-45 day window that is covered. TRICARE also covers family treatment that may be very beneficial, as it can help include loved ones in the healing and recovery process. No person in the military should fight this battle alone, and there are expert rehab counselors standing by to help you today.
