The Invisible Battlefield Veterans Face
Many Veterans face a complex battleground after service, struggling with mental health challenges like PTSD and suicidal ideation. Alarmingly, VA data suggests a potential link, with 75-95% of veterans with PTSD exhibiting substance abuse issues and that this population is much more vulnerable to suicidal ideation.

# of Veteran Post-Treatment Facilities Specializing in PTSD Treatment

Most Veterans that are discharged from inpatient treatment facilities will not have a plan in place to treat their PTSD. Shockingly, there are no post-treatment facilities specializing in co-occurring PTSD.
Thus, Bravo Zulu House was born: America's FIRST sober living home specifically for Veterans with PTSD. We aim to establish a tranquil rural sanctuary for veterans striving to overcome addiction, offering more than just safe harbor.
This Veterans-only facility provides a supportive, home-like setting where residents gain strength through brotherhood. It integrates formal therapies and counseling with dog therapy, and hydroponic gardening, addressing the deep-seated wounds of war.

Our Why
Bravo Zulu House will be THE FIRST, all-military sober living facility exclusively focused on the unique needs of our veterans suffering from PTSD. We are declaring war on PTSD and will become a critical resource to stem the tide of Veteran suicide.
Void in our healthcare model for veterans
There currently are no after-treatment facilities that comprehensively address the co-occurring conditions of addiction and PTSD for our Veterans. Bravo Zulu House is committed to bridging the gap by providing a safe, supportive environment where veterans can focus on their sobriety while receiving specialized care for their PTSD, fostering a path towards lasting healing and a renewed sense of purpose.
Bravo Zulu House employs a holistic, integrated care model designed to treat the whole Veteran. We address the interconnected aspects of well-being, providing comprehensive support for sobriety, mental and physical health, and spiritual growth. Our therapeutic programs include counseling, fitness regimens, and unique offerings like our Dog Therapy and Hydroponic Gardening initiatives. By nurturing mind, body, and spirit, we empower veterans to rebuild their lives and achieve lasting recovery.
