The program

Shatterproof FHE Health

Shatterproof FHE Health

Our specialized program for veterans and first responders pairs trauma-focused therapy and neuroscience-based care with a peer community of others who served.

“The people who understand service best are often the ones who lived it.”

FHE Health uses evidence-based therapies, medical care and wellness programming to address the physical, mental, neurological, social, emotional and spiritual needs of those who served, across medically supervised detox, residential care, partial hospitalization, outpatient services and aftercare. Your treatment team sets the right level of care after an evaluation, and every veteran we work with receives the same specialized, trauma-informed approach. And if you cannot travel to us, our team has resources across the country to help you find care.

You served others. Let us help you now.

Why FHE Health

Why Veterans Choose FHE Health

25 years of experience

What started as a small halfway house is now a national behavioral health provider. We have been doing this since 2001.

Patients from across the country

Veterans travel to us from out of state. Once your benefits and level of care are set, we coordinate the trip.

Four levels, one campus

Detox, residential, partial hospitalization and outpatient in one place, so you step down through the program instead of starting over somewhere new.

Accredited and licensed

Accredited by The Joint Commission and CARF, and licensed by Florida’s Department of Children and Families and AHCA.

Medical care in the building

Medical, psychiatric and clinical teams work together on site, so addiction and mental health are treated as connected, not handed off.

A teaching institution

FHE Health partners with colleges and universities to train the next generation of clinicians.

Paying for treatment

Find what your benefits cover

Cost is the most common reason veterans put treatment off, and it is the easiest one to resolve. More than 90% of veterans carry health insurance, and among those enrolled in VA coverage, more than 75% also have another source of coverage. One call tells you which of these applies to you.

Map of the VA Community Care Network regions

In network

TRICARE

FHE Health accepts TRICARE. Humana Military administers the East Region. Coverage typically extends across several levels of care.

  • Medically supervised detox
  • Withdrawal medication
  • Medication-assisted treatment
  • Residential treatment
  • Partial hospitalization
  • Outpatient treatment

Care outside the VA

VA Community Care

FHE Health is a credentialed VA Community Care Network provider for mental health and substance use. Community care always begins with the VA.

  1. Talk with your VA care team about a community care referral.
  2. The VA determines eligibility and authorizes the care.
  3. We coordinate the authorization and your arrival.

Not sure where you stand? One call and we check it for you.

Everything else

Private or other

Not every veteran or family fits TRICARE or VA Community Care, and that does not mean treatment is out of reach. Many carry private insurance as well, and FHE Health works with most major plans.

Don’t rule yourself out. Our admissions team verifies your coverage at no cost, usually the same day, and tells you what is covered and what happens next.

Coverage varies by plan and by the level of care your evaluation supports.

What we treat

Both sides of what you’re carrying, treated together

Veterans come to us for mental health conditions, for substance use, and most often for both at once. Treating one and leaving the other for later rarely holds.

Mental health

Trauma and the conditions that follow it

  • PTSD and combat trauma
  • Military sexual trauma
  • Depression
  • Anxiety and panic
  • Insomnia and nightmares
  • Co-occurring conditions

Substance use

Where coping turned into dependence

  • Alcohol use disorder
  • Opioid and pain medication use
  • Benzodiazepine dependence
  • Stimulant use
  • Medically supervised detox
  • Residential and outpatient care

Why it rarely travels alone

For veterans, substance use and mental health are usually the same problem

37.8%

of veterans in VA primary care with a substance use disorder also had depression, and 24.6% also had PTSD, per American Journal of Public Health (Trivedi et al., 2015).

82–93%

of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans diagnosed with a substance use disorder were also diagnosed with at least one co-occurring mental health disorder, per a peer-reviewed review (Teeters et al., 2017).

Under 1%

of veterans receive an isolated substance use disorder diagnosis with no co-occurring disorder. That is why nothing here is treated in isolation.

How we treat it

Built for service, and for what hasn’t worked before

Shatterproof FHE Health pairs trauma-focused therapy with neuroscience-based care and a peer group of veterans and first responders. Part of our team comes from those same backgrounds, and it changes what people are willing to say out loud.

After admission, each patient receives a neuroimaging scan that identifies areas of dysfunction tied to PTSD and other symptoms. For many veterans that scan is the moment the shame lifts, because it shows a verifiable medical condition rather than a character flaw. The imaging then guides treatment, letting clinicians target impaired areas with technologies few behavioral health providers offer.

An American flag flying outside a home

Intensive EMDR

Guided trauma therapy, run in longer sessions so relief comes faster than weekly scheduling allows.

qEEG brain mapping

Imaging that shows where brain activity has been disrupted, giving your team a target instead of a guess.

Neurofeedback training

Retraining the patterns behind hypervigilance, poor sleep and emotional flooding.

Brain stimulation therapy

Interventional psychiatry for depression and symptoms that have not responded to medication and therapy alone.

Medically supervised detox

Round-the-clock monitoring through withdrawal, then a direct step into ongoing care.

On-site psychiatry

Psychiatric and medical care in the same building as your therapy, coordinated by one team.

Veteran talking with a counselor at FHE Health

Where you’ll be, and what comes after

Treatment ends. The support doesn’t.

Built to feel calm, not clinical

Our South Florida campus gives you full medical and clinical care without the feel of a hospital, with the beach a few minutes away.

An alumni community that keeps showing up

In-person and virtual meetings, local and national meet-ups, and recovery resources, whether you finished 20 days ago or 20 years ago.

In their words

From veterans and first responders

I went to the Shatterproof 1st responders program for 28 days on January 29, 2024 after the absolute lowest point in my life. From the intake process to the last minute there, everything was focused on my healing.The staff was beyond incredible and I made lifelong friends.This place literally saved my life.As first responders, we are the helpers. But even then he helpers need help sometimes.2 bedroom apartments, amazing gym, pool, grills, volleyball, cornhole..you keep your phone, you can order DoorDash and instacart. This place was nothing I ever thought a “rehab” would me. My family joked it was a resort instead.Group and individual therapy. Brain mapping and stimulation. Massages. Cupping. EMDR. Integral Breathwork. Physical fitness classes. Acupuncture. Bio chair (soundwaves). All part of your treatment plan.Furthermore, it’s been over a year and I still receive check ins from staff. I receive daily motivational messages.This place doesn’t just take your money and send you on your way. They provide a lifetime of care.If I could give it 10 stars, I would.Thank you to every staff member down at FHE. 💪🏻

FHE shatterproof is the program for veterans and first responders, and it’s the only reason I didn’t end up killing myself in 2024. I was admitted in mid February and stayed for 36 days.Intake was very easy to follow and the staff were there to help ease me into the process. After a short detox that everyone is required to go through you’re placed in your appropriate location. I was transferred to the shatterproof side about three days after getting there and immediately there is a gym, a pool, group therapy, breathworks and a variety of other treatments.In my time there FHE not just helped me overcome PTSD but gave me the fortitude and skills needed to help myself out of bad times when they do arise.Thank you FHE staff.There is help out there, please don’t hesitate to say you need it, even if it hurts.

I went through the Shatterproof program at FHE in October/November. I cannot stress this enough, IT SAVED MY LIFE. I was hitting insurance snags getting in there, but they persisted and advocated for me and I was finally approved. I never felt like an "inmate" as was my fear. I was treated like a person with respect from intake until the day I discharged. The things they do there are amazing. I can't recommend FHE and more specifically, Shatterproof enough.

God and this place literally saved my life! I cannot say enough about the excellent care I received there. I was apprehensive about spending 35 days there, but ended up being there 50+ days and in the end, I wanted to stay just a few days more.The staff there is friendly and supportive. Some are former patients or have gone through what you may be experiencing now. That really made a difference for me. People like Arthur, Al, Sue, Pete, and so many others made my experience unforgettable. Neuro, EMDR, and Breath Work really helped me. I also did genetic testing to match me with the meds that would work best for me, instead of trying a bunch of meds until one was a match.I enjoyed both group and individual therapy. I was part of Shatterproof. The layout of that place is amazing. It didn’t feel like I was in therapy. Again, I am thankful to God for leading me there, and I’m thankful to the amazing staff from admissions, the therapists, nurses, cafeteria employees, maintenance and grounds crew! This place was amazing for my recovery. I highly recommend them if your struggling with addiction orMental health. They truly care!

I attended Shatterproof in March/April 2023 after 30 years of unmanaged alcohol use and mental health issues. The program was life changing and laid the foundation for me to begin a new journey toward sobriety. I’m forever grateful for the men and women I met and who have helped me get to where I am today (486 days sober) and counting. Thank you FHE. ❤️💪

Today marks 3 years since I arrived at FHE Health to be a resident in the Shatterproof program. It did much more than change my life. It saved my life. Had it not been for the phenomenal Captain of Peer Support from the Indianapolis Fire Department wisely suggesting that I go away for intensive help, I would not have experienced the incredible staff and treatment modalities offered at FHE Health. The 5 weeks I spent there were pivotal in becoming whole and healthy again. I went from feeling like I was in total darkness, profoundly sad, depressed, and suicidal, to feeling hopeful and I found my smile again. My intake photo is almost unrecognizable to me now.It is HARD WORK, but the rewards are wonderful. I HIGHLY recommend this facility!BIG thanks to Craig Ewing, Sachi, Lisa Loew, Ray, Philly Sue, Al, Sam, and many more! I felt so safe, supported, and able to do the work I needed to do. 💚

As a retired Police Officer, I was very hesitant with seeking treatment. When I put my ego and fear aside, I finally made the call to get help. I was treated with dignity and respect and received outstanding treatment at FHE Health and Shatterproof. Everything from the food to the living accommodations were great. The different treatment modalities I received helped me build a solid foundation to go forward and to help others who are suffering. The men and women who are part of FHE and the Shatterproof program are experts at what they do, and their mission is to get people better to move onto a healthy and productive life.I would highly recommend FHE Health as well as Shatterproof for First Responders.

FHE has a program called Shatterproof which is 100 % geared for first responders and military. I’m very blessed to have been allowed to go through the program which involved so many cutting edge treatments not currently found in my part of the country. The professionals at FHE Shatterproof gave me the tools to process the experiences of the last 25 years of public emergency response. This program started the long process of putting me back together and has given my family their husband, dad, son, nephew and brother back. I am back again to career I love and serving people in their worst times again. May God continue to richly bless this program and those who serve in the program.
