Veterans & First Responders
VETERANS & FIRST RESPONDERS
It’s our great honor to serve you. Our program specifically caters to the warrior and the protector. The men who have risked their lives to save others. The men who have sacrificed so that others can have a better life. We honor you.
We place special emphasis on processing and healing from trauma and traumatic events. We provide daily opportunities to engage in physically demanding workouts and physical activity. We have a gym on-site and also adventure into nature regularly. We believe it’s important for men to harness their adrenaline so they will be able to lord over it. In other words, control it. There are times to let adrenaline surge like during an epic trail run and bench pressing. We provide these outlets.

WELCOME WARRIORS
This program is tailored for you. We focus on PTS and underlying root issues. Yes, we do admit civilians but they are the working class, hard working, men like you; typically Union Workers from the construction industry.
We understand that you’re different and have different needs.
The difference between you and them is that you have voluntarily put your life on the line. Trauma didn’t come find you, you found it. We believe there is a huge difference in voluntarily seeing the worst of humanity versus having bad things happen to you.
Many civilians adopt a victim mentality. They believe they are the victims and life is not fair. Well, it’s true; life is not fair, but that’s not the point. We understand your trauma is different. We understand justice.
When trauma lives in the body and the mind, it’s unhealed, unprocessed and often manifesting its ugly head. We will help you process and overcome the trauma so that it can leave you for good; mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually.
TRAUMA & PTS
We provide specialized programming and services to help reduce, eliminate and eradicate trauma and PTS. Of course, we will learn about the science behind what’s happening and why. We will study the brain and the body and grasp the physical world as it manifests in consciousness. And of course, we will study the psychological components and work through the verbal exercises. These are all important and necessary steps. And there is more. If you are willing, we will also take you on a spiritual journey of healing, of forgiveness, and acceptance. We will also use several physical modalities.
We are more than talk therapy. We are in the process of implementing EMDR and Magnetic Resonance Therapy, also know as MeRT. This cutting-edge technology is non-surgical and non-pharmaceutical. It has shown proven clinical results that it’s highly effective in recalibrating the brain to once again enjoy mid-level emotions. Say good-bye to low-lows and feeling a constant need for more stimulation. This therapy will help bring you back to a health, peaceful center.
SUBSTANCE MISUSE
What is Substance Misuse?
Some may argue that the lines are blurred on substance misuse. What’s the difference between recreational use and abuse? Is abuse really a problem? What’s the big deal? … Many of us have wrestled with they questions. They are good questions. The answers are even more important. After spending enough time and energy battling our addictions, trying to control them and still finding ourselves baffled, many of of have come to the conclusion that the difference between substance abuse and recreation use is the difference between the outcome. We found that when we wanted to stop, we couldn’t. When we didn’t want to use, we ended up high. When we just wanted to do a little but not get too messed up, we wound up loaded. Again and again.
Have you tried controlling your drinking or using? We tried. We failed. We admitted we couldn’t control it, no matter how much we tried. We tried all sorts of things, nothing worked. We are so successful at other things, why can’t we control our using? Our addiction brought us to our knees. We knew we needed help. We choose to ask for help, rather than loose everything we still had. You aren’t any different from us. We understand the cravings, the phenomena and living with a brain that wants us dead. We get it.
