Warriors Heart Virginia

About this facility

Located in eastern Virginia, between Richmond and D.C., Warriors Heart offers a specialized drug and alcohol rehabilitation program dedicated solely to veterans, active military personnel, and first responders. Recognizing the unique traumas that these brave individuals face, this center provides a safe haven for healing and recovery, focused on their distinct experiences. Warriors Heart Virginia provides a full spectrum of recovery services, including detoxification, residential treatment, Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), and sober living options. Their expert team delivers personalized care that addresses both the physical and emotional aspects of addiction. Their experiential programs play a vital role in the recovery process. The art program at Warriors Heart offers clients a therapeutic way to express themselves through a variety of artistic mediums, fostering personal exploration and emotional healing. They also provide yoga and jiu-jitsu classes that enhance physical well-being and mental fortitude, helping clients build strength and resilience. The SOC-F gym serves as an excellent resource for clients to engage in fitness activities that support their overall recovery journey. Additionally, the SHOP (Service-Honor-Opportunity-Purpose) program enhances clients' skills in woodworking and metalworking, allowing for creative expression and vocational training. Their K9 training program empowers clients to train their service animals, providing companionship and support throughout their recovery journey. Warriors Heart’s vision is to "Bring 1 Million Warriors Home" to an environment that feels like "the opposite of a hospital." And 90% of the staff are part of the warrior community, either as a warrior or have a loved one who is a warrior. Warriors Heart was designed to feel like a “home” with suite-like rooms, a private chef who cooks healthy meals, healing modalities and a ranch setting with open-space. Warriors Heart works to foster a strong sense of community, allowing veterans and first responders to share their stories and find solace in shared experiences. This environment promotes healing and understanding, essential for overcoming the unique challenges faced by their clients. Warriors Anonymous is a specialty meeting that has been approved by AA World Services. Warriors Anonymous is an international fellowship of men and women who have had a drinking/drug problem. It is nonprofessional, self-supporting, multiracial, apolitical, and available almost everywhere. There are no age or education requirements. Membership is open to Warriors (active military, veteran or first responder) who want to do something about their drinking/drug problem. (Singleness of Purpose and Problems Other Than Alcohol) Some professionals refer to alcoholism and drug addiction as “substance abuse” or “chemical dependency.” Non-alcoholics are, therefore, sometimes introduced to W.A. and encouraged to attend W.A. meetings. Non-alcoholics may attend open W.A. meetings as observers, but only those with a drinking/drug problem may attend closed W.A. meetings.
