The need for an affordable and easy-to-use recovery program is at an all-time high.  The pandemic has increased the need for a program like the Warriors & Heroes with more people than ever suffering from addiction, depression, and anxiety. 

The ripple effects of addiction touch family, friends,  employers and society as a whole.  Even if quarantined or working from home, the Warriors & Heroes programs provide an easy-to-follow system for those who need recovery.  Our program is also great for continued aftercare for those who have detoxed and are struggling to stay clean.





The estimated total economic burden of drug and alcohol use in 2021 was over 740 BILLION! Addiction costs American businesses and organizations an average of $81 billion in lost profits every year. This is due to losses in productivity, high turnover rates, theft in the workplace, increases in absenteeism, utilization of sick time, decreases in quality of work and poor or negligent customer service.
