TRICARE is medical health insurance that is provided to members of the armed forces of the United States. Drug and alcohol use inside the military is a lot more common than one would think, and the necessity to provide treatment to these individuals is an important priority. TRICARE covers numerous rehabilitation services to address drug and alcohol dependence including detoxification services, as well as treatment in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient programs. Individuals with TRICARE will of course be required to obtain a prior authorization before taking part in any sort of rehab service, which can be organized with their regional TRICARE representative. If an inpatient program is the favored treatment option, TRICARE will cover twenty-one days or one inpatient stay in that program per benefit period which is every 365 days. There are particular limits about the length of time a TRICARE member can remain within an inpatient center that accepts TRICARE, and there's typically a 30 to 45 day window that's covered. TRICARE also covers family therapy which can be very beneficial, as it may help include family members in the healing and process of recovery. No member of the military should fight this battle alone, and there are skilled rehab counselors waiting to assist you today.
