TRICARE is health insurance that is offered to people in the armed forces of the United States. Drug and alcohol use within the military is much more common than one would assume, and the necessity to provide treatment to these individuals is an important priority. TRICARE covers a variety of rehab services to handle alcohol and drug dependence like detoxification services, and also rehabilitation in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient settings. People who have TRICARE will obviously be asked to have a prior approval before partaking in any kind of rehab service, which can be organized with their regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient facility is the favored rehabilitation choice, TRICARE will cover a three week period or one inpatient stay in this center per benefit period which is every 12 months. There are certain limits regarding the length of time a TRICARE member can remain in an inpatient facility that accepts TRICARE, and there is typically a 30 to 45 day window that is covered. TRICARE also covers family treatment which can be very helpful, as it could help include loved ones in the healing and process of recovery. No person in the military should struggle with this battle alone, and there are professional rehab counselors standing by to help today.
