The Right Place
At Warriors Heart Sober Living Lodge, we know that recovery doesn’t end when treatment does—it’s a lifelong journey. That’s why we created the Warriors Heart Sober Living Lodge, a structured, substance-free community just outside of San Antonio, Texas, designed exclusively for Warriors: military service members, veterans, and first responders.
Located in Bandera, TX, our Sober Living Lodge gives Warriors the opportunity to step back into everyday life—with support, structure, and purpose. It’s a vital next step where individuals strengthen their recovery, embrace personal responsibility, and grow into Sober Confident Warriors ready to live life on their own terms.
The Right Structure
Sober Living provides a structured, yet independent living environment, where you can come and go out of the home whenever you like as long as it does not interfere with ongoing treatment, or the sober living rules. Residents in sober living homes are expected to maintain their sobriety, participate in group meetings, have a sponsor, and contribute to household responsibilities while meeting all expenses. There are curfews, a zero-tolerance policy toward alcohol and mood-altering substances, among other supportive rules to ensure a positive, encouraging, safe environment.
- Sober Living is located at the Warriors Heart Lodge at 700 State Hwy. 16S in Bandera, TX 78003.
- We have single and double-occupancy rooms, allowing our residents to have a choice related to their financial desires and personal needs.
- Additionally, our Warriors coming directly from successful completion of a residential treatment program have a structured living for a minimum of 60 days when entering our Outpatient Program.
- For additional convenience, we host Warriors Anonymous Meetings every Monday, Wednesday, Thursday (Women’s), and Saturday at 1900 CST on site.
Each week, clients can chair, or attend:
- Live Warriors Anonymous meetings (on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturday nights) at 7:00PM for all Warrior class sober clients and alumni, and/or
- Fireside Alumni meeting on Sunday evenings at 7:00PM at the local Warriors Heart Residential Facility.
Clients train to become sober confident Warriors, prior to transitioning back to their families or hometowns. Together, they learn to do things SOBER.
The Right Environment
Sober Living offers a great opportunity for clients to learn to work the Twelve Steps, while sharing in meetings with Warrior-class and other fellowships. It is a great way for them to meet face-to-face with their sponsors at the Lodge or offsite.

The clients have fellowship and gatherings at the swimming pool and large patio with a custom gas grill and patio furniture for cookouts. They also have in-house activities for fitness and recreation, plus full access to the gym.
The Sober Living clients have access within reasonable walking or driving distance to state parks, the river, horseback riding, and a small town where they can do things together to become sober confident Warriors.
