Warriors Heart, a private, accredited treatment program in the U.S. exclusively for “warriors” (active-duty military, veterans, and first responders), reaffirmed its commitment to expanding access to high-quality care for America’s heroes struggling with PTSD, substance use, and moral injury.

Warriors Heart operates with a simple mission: Warriors Healing Warriors. Through structured, licensed, and accredited programs (medical detox, inpatient, outpatient, and structured sober living) built on discipline, peer support, and purpose-driven recovery, Warriors Heart has helped more than 4,500 warriors reclaim their lives and return to their families, communities, and careers.

“As a nation, we ask a tremendous amount from the men and women who protect our freedoms and keep our communities safe,” said Josh Lannon, founder and CEO of Warriors Heart. “Our responsibility is to ensure they receive the care, respect, and support they deserve when they return home.”

Warriors Heart works closely with federal and community partners to expand treatment options for veterans and first responders. By combining specialized clinical care with a peer-driven recovery environment, the program helps warriors rebuild strength, restore relationships, and rediscover purpose.

Key elements of the Warriors Heart model include:

  • Warrior Exclusive Environment: Treatment designed specifically for service members, veterans, and public safety professionals.
  • Peer-Supported Recovery: A disciplined community where warriors support one another through recovery.
  • Evidence-Based Clinical Care: Licensed and accredited programs addressing PTSD, substance use, trauma, and moral injury.
  • Purpose-Driven: Helping warriors remember who they are and return to a life they are proud of.

As demand for specialized care continues to grow nationwide, Warriors Heart is exploring opportunities to expand its model to additional states, bringing its mission of healing and restoration to more warriors across the country.

“America’s strength depends on the strength of those who serve,” said Tom Spooner, Army Special Forces Veteran, and president and co-founder of Warriors Heart. “When we support, warriors heal. We strengthen families, communities, and the nation itself.”
