About Warriors Heart

Warriors Heart’s mission is to help first responders, law enforcement, and military heal with dignity. Their Ranch property, located in Bandera, Texas is a 543-acre treatment facility. They specialize in substance abuse treatment with co-occuring mental health disorders. They also focus on post-traumatic stress, unresolved grief and loss, and moral injury.

They provide detox, residential, day treatment, outpatient and sober living levels of care. Warriors Heart is the opposite of a hospital or health clinic. Their resort-style rance is a serene space to focus on healing the body, mind and spirit.
Onsite amenities include a private lake for fishing, running trails, swimming pool, fitness center, rope course, volleyball and basketball courts, fire pit, rec room and metal shop. You’ll sleep in comfortable shared or private rooms and eat healthy meals prepared by a chef.

One of the most unique aspects of Warriors Hearts is their K9 training program. They rescue dogs from local shelters or take former detection/search dogs and train them to become emotional support or certified service dogs. These canine battle buddies help you recover from substance use and post-traumatic stress.
Warriors Heart accepts in-network and out-of-network insurance plans. They accept Aetna, Cigna and other providers. Some warriors choose to pay privately for services or run fundraisers to pay for service.

Medical briefcase icon Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient

They also offer outpatient treatment programs for those who wish to get treatment but are unable to commit to a stay due to work or social responsibilities. This program takes place two days a week where they will receive treatment and monitoring of their progress throughout.

inpatient iconInpatient Rehab

Inpatient rehab programs are geared toward clients in early recovery. They also provide intensive support for clients in crisis and those at an increased relapse risk. Clients receive housing and meals while in inpatient care, allowing them to focus solely on their recovery. Most programs prioritize addiction counseling but may draw on various psychotherapeutic modalities, including CBT, DBT, RBT, trauma therapy, and motivational interviewing. Life skills training and holistic therapies are also common in inpatient care.

intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient

Intensive outpatient programs offer high-level care for clients as an increased risk of relapse, including those in early recovery, those with a strong history of relapse, and those experiencing a crisis. Intensive outpatient treatment typically requires clients to engage in nine to 20 hours of care weekly, with treatment modalities that combine psychotherapy and recovery education, and holistic therapies, such as acupuncture and animal therapy. Medication assisted treatment (MAT) is also common in alcohol and/or opioid recovery.

aftercare iconAftercare

Rehab aftercare programs are based on a model of continuing care and the premise that recovery is a life-long process requiring ongoing client support. Many rehab aftercare services include outpatient care, but clients often continue to receive support after being discharged from formal treatment. Case managers and care teams typically collaborate with clients to design their long-term care plan, which may include peer coaching, career counseling, and 12 step program induction, among other services.

12-step icon12-Step

12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).

sober-living iconSober Living Homes

Joining one of their sober living programs is recommended after completing treatment, in order to help promote a sober lifestyle. Warriors attend meetings and counseling sessions that allow for them to understand the impact that alcohol and drugs have and how to best avoid them.

partial-hospitalization iconPartial Hospitalization Program

Commonly known as "day treatment," a partial hospitalization program (PHP) offers intensive addiction treatment while allowing you to return home each day. It can serve as an alternative to inpatient hospitalization or as a step-down option. Depending on your needs, PHP treatment typically averages 90 days with a weekly requirement of 6-8 hours a day. PHP treatment offers a variety of therapeutic interventions such as individual counseling, group therapy, and psychoeducation. Oftentimes PHP treatment can be fully covered by insurance.

medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox

Ridding the body of harmful, addictive substances, also known as detoxification, is usually the first phase of recovery. Those going through medically assisted detox can be administered medications by a team of medical professionals who are on-site 24/7 to provide different types of therapies that help mitigate withdrawal symptoms.

Heart icon Treatment

alcohol iconAlcoholism

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

drugs iconDrug Addiction

During rehab in Texas, you'll deal with underlying issues that contribute to addiction. By addressing these challenges and learning healthy ways to cope with them, you'll develop strategies that help you live a drug-free lifestyle.

check iconDual Diagnosis

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

mental-health iconMental Health and Substance Abuse

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

opium iconOpioid Addiction

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Hand holding medical sign icon Clinical Services

inpatient-file iconCognitive Behavioral Therapy

The goal of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in Texas is to change thought patterns, which leads to changes in behavior. Specific techniques during CBT can include self talk, SMART goals, journaling, and positive activities.

dialectical iconDialectical Behavior Therapy

Treatment that takes a dialectical behavior therapy approach focuses on four strategies. Distress tolerance will help you accept and tolerate intense emotions. Emotional regulation will teach you to manage those emotions. Mindfulness will keep you in the present moment instead of regret or worry. Interpersonal effectiveness will teach you to manage your relationships.

equine-therapy iconEquine Therapy

intervention iconGroup Therapy

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

mental-health iconIndividual Therapy

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

desert iconMotivational Interviewing

Therapy sessions that incorporate motivational interviewing focus on OARS: open questions, affirmation, reflections, and summarizing. This facilitates an exchange of information and an empowering of the client to decide for themselves what changes might need to be made in their lives.

house-medical iconTrauma Therapy

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

eye-movement iconEye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing

EMDR is a therapeutic modality originally developed to help process trauma. In an EMDR session, a patient is prompted to undergo eye movements that mimic those of REM sleep. This is accomplished by watching a therapist's finger move back and forth across, or following a bar of light. The goal is repetitive sets of eye movements that help the brain reprocess memory, which can significantly reduce the intensity of remembered traumatic incidents. Associated memories can heal simultaneously, leaving patients significantly calmer, more stable, and more emotionally relaxed.

family iconFamily Therapy

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

life-skills iconLife Skills

The right life skills training will help you build the skills you need for recovery. You'll learn how to solve problems, improve your social life, enhance your mental health, and make good decisions. This is a key component of drug rehab programs in Texas.

recreational-therapy iconRecreational Therapy

Addiction recovery treatment in Texas will offer recreational therapy in a holistic approach to treatment. Therapy incorporates enjoyable activities that support your physical and mental health, such as team sports, creative arts, or individual sports. This activity gives you an emotional outlet, reduces your stress, and improves your mood, each of which promotes long term sobriety.

art-brush iconCreative Arts Therapy

Creative arts therapy focuses on creative processes. You may engage in sculpting, dancing, improv, painting, or sketching. These creative outlets provide an opportunity to explore and express difficult emotions.

nicotine iconNicotine Replacement Therapy

When used as recommended, nicotine replacement therapy in Texas provides enough nicotine to help you avoid severe cravings and withdrawal symptoms after quitting smoking. This increases comfort so you're less likely to relapse into your smoking habit.

Check icon Accreditations

I called in a time of severe desperation, you answered the call and provided me with the psychological rebirth that I was in dire need of. Similar to me joining the Army and finding a team that collectively provided me purpose for 24 years, the team of Warrior clients and Warriors Heart staff renewed a solid sense of purpose to propel me forward productively. Thank you to every Warrior there during my stay. God bless you all, as I have been blessed by the entire experience. Regards, Andy

Do your own research, take with a grain of salt. Certan Therapist will stab you in the back, rumors will fly and high-school drama will be there. Use at your own risk. Great facilities but the leadership has no idea what the LCpl underground will stir up. Watch your six.

Great program for some but it was not for me. I decided to exit the program earlier than "recommended" (less than 42 days). When I chose to do so. I was told the amount that was collected for "incendentals" 350.00 was not available for refund because I left early. It was my personal money that I gave them. I was stranded because of this. I needed it to go towards a plane ticket home. They also said they where going to drop me off at the gate of the facility although they say we care about you...well they only care if they are getting the 3300.00 a day the VA was paying for . I was left stranded in Texas with no money no ride to the airport. My question is if they cared so much why would they do this? - UPDATE - They did refund my incendental money a month later after being told I wouldn't get it back BECAUSE I left early, and after telling everyone there what they where going to do ( drop me off at the gate) they finally offered me a ride to the airport but they charged me 100.00 dollars for a ride to the airport.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for our program, Scott. We understand that our training program may not be the right fit for everyone, and we respect your decision to leave earlier than the recommended 42 days. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by our policy regarding incidentals. Our contracts signed by all Warriors before coming to our facility provide detailed verbiage regarding costs and refund conditions as part of the program. We confirmed that your incidental refund was processed in accordance with the signed contract. It's not within our limits to provide flights, but we do provide transportation to the airport and did in this situation. Our team always does our best to make sure our clients have a safe and comfortable journey back home, no matter the circumstances of the client's departure. Each warrior that attends training with us is vetted for willingness to change and willingness to work a recovery program, we respect your decision to choose out and wish you the best in your journey.

Dear Warriors HeartI am writing to express my deep concern and disappointment regarding the current state of affairs at your rehabilitation center. Despite the substantial financial investment involved 2,200 day, several critical issues have come to my attention that demand immediate resolution. Firstly, it is distressing to report the existence of broken stairs within the facility. This poses a severe safety risk to patients and their families and requires urgent attention to ensure a safe environment. Furthermore, I have learned that the medical team occasionally closes due to meetings, leaving patients without immediate access to necessary care. This raises concerns about the prioritization of administrative matters over the well-being of those undergoing rehabilitation.Additionally, the absence of elective activities on weekends, such as art, metal shop, or movie nights, is disheartening. Patients undergoing rehabilitation not only deserve but benefit significantly from recreational and therapeutic options during their recovery journey.The safety of clients is further compromised by the condition of the bus used for off-site meetings, which reportedly lacks working lights. Ensuring the safety of transportation is crucial, and I urge you to address this matter promptly.Lastly, it has come to my attention that client relations appear to be understaffed, potentially impacting the quality of care and support provided to patients and their families. Adequate staffing in this area is essential for maintaining open communication and addressing the needs of those involved in the rehabilitation process.I implore you to prioritize these concerns and take immediate action to rectify the mentioned issues. It is crucial to uphold the standards expected from a rehabilitation center, especially given the significant financial commitment involved.Thank you for your prompt attention to these matters. I trust that your commitment to excellence will lead to positive changes that enhance the overall experience for all individuals under your care.Sincerely,Dennys

Thank you for your concern regarding the treatment of our nation's warriors. We take feedback seriously, and will cover your concerns below. Man, for the stairs, the photos sure makes it look worn. With normal wear and tear, items do get to get repaired. In this case, an updated stairway was ordered in September and were excited for install. Your stay happened between order and install time. We can send photos once installed. In regards to billing, getting paid by the government $2200 a day would be wonderful. However, this has never happened and they set a fixed reimbursement rate. And we checked and you are not being billed any shortfalls. With medical, as you know and have been trained, communication is key to a healthy operation. When clients are in programming at 0830, the medical team closes the med window in the morning for a medical meeting. Staff are still present in the building. We staff our facility with 24/7 coverage and all staff can be notified of needs by each other at a moments notice. No art, wood shop, metal shop, additional yoga or K9 (unless on the K9 team) electives on the weekends. You had the ability to participate in the electives for fishing, pool, gym, volleyball, and watch movies on the weekends. All in support to one s recovery. We investigated about your note regarding lights do not work on one of the buses. Not accurate. The dedicated Transportation Team confirmed the lights do work (on all the transport vehicles). We require safety checks and the bus has passed the checks prior to each departure, standard operating procedures. Lastly, in Bandera, we employ over 177 staff members. We re the largest private employer in the county. We far exceed the licensing standard of 1 to 16 awake clients. Reach out to our Executive Director Christina Moreno to set up a phone call.

It was a good program but they lied about the cost. They told me my insurance would pay but they never even sent it through my insurance. Four payments of $961 on top of the $350 supposedly for "incidentals" that you never get back. It turned out to be just another rip off. It's not worth it.

Response from the owner11 months ago
Thank you for reaching out, would you be willing to give us a call to discuss that payment plan? When a warrior is utilizing insurance to attend training, there is usually an out-of-pocket expense that is agreed upon before a warrior attends training. For the incidentals, if there is a balance left over at the end of training, warriors have the opportunity to donate the balance to help other warriors in need or request a refund of the left-over balance. Hope that helps and that you have found success in your recovery journey.

This is in response to M.K.'s comment...Hello, I don't work for Warriors Heart and nope, not getting paid to comment here either. I usually don't respond or make reviews about anything but I can hear nothing but hate and discontent in your review and I'm thinking to myself, "did we go to the same place?" Even though I'm what was dubbed a "dash-2" (it's an inside thaang) I can say with with my head up and with certainty, Miss Linda, Gary Sinise and the professional team at Warriors Heart saved my life. I was about to be one of the "22" and had already told my family it wasn't their fault and loved them and made my peace with it until I received a phone call out of the blue. "Just checking on you", yeah right, more like divine intervention with SgtMaj J. Christ dialing the numbers. Ok I'm rambling now. Back to W.H. I can't let you talk bad about the people I love without a rebuttal at least, because these folks are some black magic, Jedi mind trick, mind reading, high speed-low drag, tier 1 miracle working counselors and my friend they truly do care. You just have to be ready to open up and tell all of those deep dark secrets that you've hid from mom and dad your whole life. Yep I'm talking about that secret too ... ALL OF THEM! Leave the pride outside and humble yourself because the end result can be a brand new life full of love and happiness with a dash of joy. I wish you and anyone reading this all the best and remember kids, "Don't Dabble!" And to Tom Spooner, Josh , Lisa, Alisa, Connie and my personal counselor, you know who you are.....much love and Semper Fi...
