TRICARE is health insurance that is offered to members of the military of the United States. Substance abuse inside the military is much more common than one would assume, and the need to offer treatment to these individuals is a priority. TRICARE covers many different treatment services to handle drug and alcohol dependence such as detoxification services, along with rehabilitation in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient programs. Those that have TRICARE will of course have to have a prior approval before taking part in any sort of treatment service, which can be arranged using a regional TRICARE representative. If an inpatient facility is the favored rehabilitation option, TRICARE will cover a three week period or one inpatient stay in this particular facility per benefit period which is every 365 days. There are certain limits regarding how much time a TRICARE member can stay in an inpatient facility that accepts TRICARE, and there is typically a 30-45 day window which is covered. TRICARE also covers family counselling which may be very helpful, as it may help include family members in the healing and process of recovery. No person in the military should struggle with this battle alone, and there are skilled treatment counselors ready to help you today.
