TRICARE is medical health insurance that is provided to members of the military of the United States. Drug and alcohol use inside the military is more common than one would imagine, and the need to offer rehab to these individuals is a vital priority. TRICARE covers a number of treatment services to address drug and alcohol dependence including detoxification services, as well as rehab in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient programs. Individuals with TRICARE will of course be asked to get a prior authorization before taking part in any kind of rehab service, which may be organized using their regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient program is the preferred treatment option, TRICARE covers a three week period or one inpatient stay in that center per benefit period which is every 365 days. There are particular limits as to just how long a TRICARE member can stay in an inpatient program that accepts TRICARE, then there is typically a 30-45 day window that's covered. TRICARE also covers family counselling which is often very beneficial, as it can help include family members in the healing and recovery process. No member of the military should fight this battle alone, and there are expert treatment counselors ready to help you today.
