42-Day Residential Treatment Program Built for Warriors

Designed for Warriors. Built For Lasting Recovery.

Warriors Heart’s 42-day residential training program is longer than most traditional 28-day rehabs because warriors deserve time, space, and specialized support to fully heal.

Your care is delivered by two licensed clinicians working together: one specializing in addiction, one in mental health and trauma. They collaborate on your recovery because substance use and trauma exist together. Treating one without the other rarely leads to lasting healing.

Every component is delivered in an environment built exclusively for active duty military, veterans, and first responders. No civilians. Just warriors healing among those who understand your world, your responsibilities, and what you’ve carried.

Evidence-based clinical therapy combines with hands-on experiential training that rebuilds confidence and purpose. The work is clinical, but the experience feels like training: disciplined, mission-focused, and designed to reconnect you with your own strength.

What Makes Our Program Different

Evidence-Based Clinical Treatment

Our program is built on proven, evidence-based therapies delivered by licensed clinicians: 

  • Individual therapy with licensed clinicians
  • Group therapy facilitated by experienced professionals
  • Trauma-informed modalities: CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy), and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
  • Dual diagnosis treatment for co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders
  • Medication-assisted treatment when clinically appropriate 
  • Relapse prevention and coping skills development
  • 24/7 medical supervision and support

42 Days, Not 28

Longer treatment works, especially for high-functioning warriors who’ve carried trauma and addiction for years. Our 42-day residential program begins after medical detox and stabilization are complete. Detox days are not included in the 42-day count. The extended structure allows for trauma work, skill-building, and real healing.

Warrior-Exclusive Environment

We serve only active military, veterans, law enforcement, firefighters, EMS, and first responders, creating immediate trust, shared language, and accountability.

Clinical and Experiential Integration

Evidence-based therapy is paired with experiential modalities that rebuild confidence, responsibility, and purpose.

Structured Training Approach

While the work is clinical, the experience feels like training. Disciplined, mission-focused, and designed to reconnect warriors with their own strength.

Each day includes a structured mix of clinical therapy, experiential activities, peer support, and wellness programming.

Aftercare Planning

Your Treatment Journey: Three Phases of Training

01
/ PHASE 1

Stabilize and Reset

(Days 1-14)

With medical support and structured routine, warriors begin to stabilize physically and mentally, preparing for deeper work.

02
/ PHASE 2

Heal and Rebuild

(Days 15-35)

The core therapeutic phase. Warriors engage in trauma-focused therapy, addiction recovery, and experiential electives.

Every warrior participates in Lifeline during this phase—a transformational process that helps them confront their story, release long-held weight, and rebuild identity, confidence, and purpose. 

03
/ PHASE 3

Integrate and Prepare

(Days 36+)

Warriors develop relapse-prevention strategies, strengthen coping skills, and build a personalized aftercare plan supported by Warriors Anonymous, the Warriors Heart App, and our Alumni Program.

Integrated Dual Diagnosis Care

Many warriors face addiction and mental health challenges at the same time. Our program treats these together using trauma-informed clinical care and experiential training, ensuring warriors address both the symptoms they feel and the deeper causes driving them.
