Warriors Heart announces Level II Training Rehab Program for Active Military, Veterans and First Responders

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Jan. 5, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Warriors Heart announces the opening of its Level II “Lakeside” Extended Recovery Program in Bandera, Texas, that is a next step option for active military, veterans, and first responders after completing their current Level I Residential Treatment and Training Program. This new Level II Lakeside Extended Treatment and Training Program had a soft opening on December 13, 2021, and is officially launching today.

As the first and ONLY private and accredited treatment and training program in the United States that is exclusively for our frontline protectors, Warriors Heart‘s new multi-level options offer a more comprehensive healing program for warriors struggling with drug and alcohol addiction, PTS (post-traumatic stress), mild TBI (traumatic brain injury) and co-occurring issues.

Warriors Heart offers a Full Continuum of Care, which includes: Detox, Day Treatment, Residential Treatment and Training Programs (Level I), Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), Sober Living (60-day minimum), Aftercare – and now the new Lakeside Extended Recovery Program (Level II). Warriors who decide to extend treatment past the Level I 42 days will go into Lakeside training or a Warrior can sign up for both Level I and Level II training upfront.

Based on 2000+ warriors enrolling in the Warriors Heart Level I Treatment and Training Program and feedback over the past five years, the team is launching this new Level II extension to better serve and transition our frontline protectors to real life after treatment. This new program is located on their 543-acre ranch in the Texas Hill Country just outside San Antonio. New “home-like retreat” style buildings have been built for this new secure setting with private rooms that feel like the “opposite of a hospital”.

When asked, “Why are you launching this Level II Program?,” Warriors Heart CEO/Co-Founder Josh Lannon explained, “Addiction did not happen overnight, and neither will the recovery and healing. Many short-term programs do a good job of opening the wounds up, but do not have the time required to clean and heal them. Healing the body, mind and spirit takes a stable environment, routine, and consistency. This new extended program provides our warriors with more to come home whole again.”

Former Special Forces and Warriors Heart Co-Founder Tom Spooner (U.S. Army veteran with 21 years of service, 1990-2011) played an integral role in developing these healing programs based on his first-hand experience. Spooner emphasizes, “We are dedicated to reducing the alarming number of veteran and first responder suicides by providing our protectors with a secure place to heal with their peers. This extended program enables us to assist in rebuilding the lives of more warriors so they are more confident in real life.”

Warriors Heart Level I– Treatment and Training Program (42 days, 6 weeks) – This Level I treatment is built as Foundational Training program. The goal is to assist clients get grounded in a secure environment. The program is in a safe healing space where there is no shame or stigma when asking for help.
