TRICARE is health care insurance that is offered to people in the military of the United States. Drug abuse within the military is much more common than one would think, and the necessity to offer treatment to these individuals is an important priority. TRICARE covers a variety of rehab services to address drug and alcohol dependence like detoxification services, along with rehab in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient settings. People with TRICARE will obviously be asked to get a prior authorization before taking part in any sort of rehab service, which is often arranged using their regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient program will be the preferred rehabilitation option, TRICARE will cover a three week period or one inpatient stay in that facility 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 facility that accepts TRICARE, and there is typically a 30 to 45 day window that is covered. TRICARE also covers family therapy which can be very helpful, as it may help include loved ones in the healing and process of recovery. No member of the military should struggle with this battle alone, and there are skilled rehabilitation counselors standing by to help today.
