Warriors Heart, the only private and accredited U.S. treatment program dedicated exclusively to "warriors," first responders, veterans, and active-duty service members, has released its 2025 clinical outcome data. This demonstrates that its clients leave treatment significantly healthier than the national average, despite arriving with more severe and complex symptoms. The data shows an 88% program completion rate (16% better than the national average) and remarkable reductions in symptoms, including a 65% reduction in depression, a 43% reduction in anxiety, and a 55% average reduction in trauma scores.
BANDERA, Texas, May 11, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Warriors Heart, the first and only private, accredited treatment program in the U.S. exclusively for "warriors," announced its 2025 clinical outcome data today, showing its clients leave treatment significantly healthier than the national average. The company's first client was a law enforcement officer who today serves as a Captain at his Police Department, setting the standard for their purpose-built "warrior care."
The release came alongside numerous May celebrations, where Warriors Heart and the nation recognize the service and sacrifice of public safety officers through:
- May 2: International Firefighter Day
- May 2-3: National Firefighter Memorial Weekend
- May 3-9: National Corrections Office Week
- May 10-16: National Police Week
- May 17-23: National EMS Week
Using Trac9 Informatics, a third-party assessment tool utilized by hundreds of facilities nationwide, Warriors Heart found that, on average, its clients arrive with much more severe symptoms and complex conditions than the national average. Despite these increased challenges, the Warriors Heart treatment model consistently delivers health outcomes ahead of national average benchmarks.
Key data highlights include:
- An 88% program completion rate (16% better than the national average).
- Reducing depression by 65% (20% better than the national average).
- Reducing anxiety by 43% (20% better than the national average).
- Reducing stress by 59% (16% better than the national average).
Additionally, Warriors Heart reports that trauma scores are reduced by an average of 55% from the time clients arrive to when they leave treatment.
"Warriors Heart began on the belief that the warrior class (veterans, active duty, and first responders) requires specialized, purpose-built care, and our 2025 treatment outcomes confirm that belief," said Josh Lannon, Warriors Heart CEO. "In joint treatment settings, veterans often point out how much more difficult first responders' jobs can be, because they rarely 'get a break,' unlike veterans who have a clear transition home after deployment. What we do better is successfully treat these complex conditions for all of them, consistently delivering health outcomes ahead of the national averages."
Since its opening in April 2016, Warriors Heart has helped more than 1070 first responders and 3380 service members and veterans choose life as they heal from their battles with PTSD, substance abuse, moral injury, and more. The program provides a full continuum of care, including detox, residential treatment, intensive outpatient services, structured sober living, and TMS brain treatment. To help warriors reclaim their identity and "tribe," the organization integrates unique electives such as K9 training and metal shop into the clinical process.
Operating out of Bandera, Texas, and Milford, Virginia, Warriors Heart specializes in a full-spectrum 42-day treatment model, encompassing everything from medically managed detox and residential care to outpatient services and dedicated alumni programming.
