TRICARE is health insurance which is offered to folks in the armed forces of the United States. Drug abuse inside the military is more common than one would assume, and the need to provide treatment to these individuals is a crucial priority. TRICARE covers a variety of rehabilitation services to address drug and alcohol dependence like detox services, along with rehabilitation in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient facilities. People who have TRICARE will of course have to obtain a prior authorization before partaking in any type of rehabilitation service, which can be organized using their regional TRICARE representative. If an inpatient center will be the preferred treatment option, TRICARE will cover 21 days or one inpatient stay in this facility per benefit period which is every 12 months. There are specific limits about the length of time a TRICARE member can stay in an inpatient center that accepts TRICARE, and there's typically a 30-45 day window that's covered. TRICARE also covers family therapy which may be very useful, as it may help include family members in the healing and process of recovery. No member of the military should struggle with this battle alone, and there are professional rehab counselors waiting to help you today.
