Amenities
Hiking & Fishing
Our courses provide warriors the opportunity to rebuild their health and experience the beauty of nature. Whether it be taking a hike through the Warriors Heart property, running the flight line to fishing in our 2 lakes, these activities allow Warriors to take themselves out of their daily obligations and focus on their recovery. There are also several benefits to fishing for those experiencing symptoms of PTSD, allowing for the mind and body to heal in a natural setting.
Nutrition
Providing food for the Warriors Heart clients and staff is a daily mission that has many great rewards. All meals are appealing, visually and aesthetically, to all clients and staff, while also providing nutritional value. This is especially important for clients as they work to become a better version of themselves and need to replace the nutrients that the body has been deprived of due to addiction.
Massage / Bodywork
Many of our Warriors are banged up. Healing the mind and body of a warrior as they go through recovery is of utmost importance. The Warriors Heart facility offers massages and bodywork to help relax and ease the pain to strengthen one’s recovery. By working on and relaxing the body, we hope to give Warriors the ability to focus on their recovery and heal the visible and invisible scars.
Yoga
Yoga has been shown to be beneficial in the treatment of those experiencing the effects of PTSD. Yoga is not meant to be the only therapy a warrior receives, but a complement that could benefit our treatment for addiction and PTSD. Relax and just breath.
