Electives

Warriors Heart Electives

Our Elective Programs are important in the healing of our clients. By providing tactile experiences, our clients can open up and share more through their projects. Some even realize they have so much to say and finally find an outlet for their pain and anxieties.

WOOD SHOP

The Shop is a place of sacred healing. Warriors are guided through the process of working with wood as a way to build/create art work to enhance their healing process. This is shown to help clients access their emotions, develop interpersonal skills, reduce stress, increase self-esteem, and achieve insights.

METAL SHOP

The Shop is a place of sacred healing. Warriors are guided through the process of working with metal as a way to build/create artwork to enhance their healing process. The process of repurposing scrap metal into something new assists them in their healing process as they are repurposing their lives. Clients continue their personal insights through this expressive art activity.

K9 PROGRAM

Service animals can be helpful partners for those suffering from chemical dependency, symptoms of PTSD, or TBI (traumatic brain injury). The relationship you form with a service or emotional support animal is an important step in your healing process.

JIU JITSU

Jiu-jitsu is not about fighting. It is a way of life that encompasses a disciplined life, selfless sacrifice, honor, loyalty, humility, and standing up for what is right for yourself and others.That means saying no to bad habits, adopting healthy habits and being a present, fully-engaged parent, spouse/partner, worker and citizen.It is not just a way of life; it is a way of saving a life.

ART

Clients have the option of joining an art program to express your emotions through a variety of media: painting, drawing, mask-making or mixed-media and other materials. Since the focus is on the process and not the final product, art therapy is about finding meaning in your life. It complements traditional mental health treatment. The aim is to manage behaviors, process feelings, reduce stress and anxiety, while increasing self-esteem.

YOGA

Yoga breathing alone relieves your stress hormones so you can self-regulate and calm down without medication. Body awareness is a key component of beginning treatment. You will find out where you are unwittingly holding your tension so you can let it go. Emotions may rise. Balance may waver. But these are all steps in getting back in touch with your senses so you can heal.

Our Facility

The Warriors Heart treatment center is located on a beautiful 543 acre ranch just outside of San Antonio in Bandera, TX. Our treatment center is designed to not look like a hospital, instead featuring a calm home-like environment complete with a dedicated chef, 100 beds with private suite-styled rooms, and a wide variety of activities. These include fishing ponds, trails for walking or running, and recreational areas. For those who are physically active, there’s also the Warrior fitness center and even opportunities to hunt wild game.

We pride ourselves in having designed an environment that allows your loved one to not feel alone while being able to share time alongside others who are also in recovery.
