The Invisible Battlefield Veterans Face

Many Veterans face a complex battleground after service, struggling with mental health challenges like PTSD, Military Sexual Trauma (MST) and suicidal ideation. Alarmingly, VA data suggests a potential link, with 75-95% of Veterans with PTSD exhibiting substance abuse issues and suggests that this population is much more vulnerable to suicidal ideation.

Most Veterans that are discharged from inpatient alcohol and drug treatment facilities will not have a plan in place to treat their PTSD. Shockingly, there were no post-treatment facilities specializing in co-occurring PTSD for Veterans - until Bravo Zulu House.

Thus, Bravo Zulu House was born: America's FIRST sober living home specifically for Veterans with PTSD. We aim to establish  tranquil sanctuaries for Veterans striving to overcome addiction, offering more than just safe harbor.

These Veterans-only facilities provide a supportive, home-like setting where residents gain strength through a common bond. It integrates formal therapies and counseling with dog therapy, and hydroponic gardening, treating the whole person, addressing the invisible wounds of their service to restore our heroes.
