TRICARE is medical health insurance which is provided to members of the armed forces of the United States. Drug and alcohol use inside the military is more common than one would think, and the need to provide treatment to these individuals is a priority. TRICARE covers a number of rehabilitation services to address alcohol and drug dependence such as detoxification services, as well as treatment in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient programs. People who have TRICARE will obviously be required to get a prior approval before partaking in any sort of rehab service, that may be arranged with their regional TRICARE representative. If an inpatient facility could be the preferred rehabilitation option, TRICARE covers 21 days or one inpatient stay in this program per benefit period which is every 365 days. There are certain limits regarding how much time a TRICARE member can remain in an inpatient program that accepts TRICARE, and there is typically a 30-45 day window that's covered. TRICARE also covers family treatment that may be very useful, as it could help include family members in the healing and process of recovery. No person in the military should fight this battle alone, and there are professional treatment counselors standing by to help today.
