TRICARE is health care insurance that's provided to individuals in the military of the United States. Drug abuse within the military is much more common than one would imagine, and the necessity to provide treatment to these individuals is an important priority. TRICARE covers many different rehab services to address alcohol and drug dependence like detox services, and also rehabilitation in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient facilities. Individuals with TRICARE will naturally be required to have a prior approval before taking part in any type of rehab service, which can be arranged using a regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient program could be the favored rehabilitation choice, TRICARE covers a three week period or one inpatient stay in that program per benefit period which is every 365 days. There are specific limits as to how much time a TRICARE member can stay in an inpatient program 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 recovery process. No person in the military should fight this battle alone, and there are professional rehab counselors ready to help you today.
