Lack of Re-Entry Survival Teams is a Crisis!
The rates of suicide, spousal abuse, unemployment, divorce, alcoholism, drug abuse, and bankruptcy for warriors (veterans) and their families are 3 times higher than national average. They are less than 20% of the US population. Since they live in neighborhoods and interact with others, when do they start to affect or infect others? Warriors and their families are not the cause of community instability, but only add to the existing chaos or crisis. The internal strength within our country is based on healthy inclusive communities and neighborhoods that are safe, friendly, and welcome diversity. Warriors and their families are capable of contributing their diverse training, education, leadership, and problem solving to create Organic Communities.
Are we capable as a society to create a common language to develop Organic Communities that are flexible, inclusive, passionate, and interdependent on everyone’s knowledge, skills, and abilities despite how they were acquired? The answer up to this point has been, “NO!” Why? We didn’t have the tools, resources, and the will to make a difference. “Re-Entry Survival Teams” will offer us the essential resources to impact every aspect of our society.
All great teams have a code of conduct and absolute integrity which enables them to succeed in any circumstances. When you analyze the success of any high performance teams who have set a high standard for themselves, you will find they employed a will to win.

Re-Entry Survival Teams Make a Difference!
Warriors (veterans) and their families have been dealing with the issue of reintegration into civilian life in the US since the Spanish-American War. For well over 110 years warriors and family members have struggled to receive adequate care for their invisible wounds, the stigma of war, Post Trauma Stress (PTS), Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Combat Stress, missing limbs, and more. After the end of World War II our nation grew tired of hearing about war, welcoming home warriors, and transitioning them back into a civilian society. As a society, we’ve turned this role over to governmental agencies at the federal, state, and local levels. These agencies are ill-equipped, broken, and unable to relieve the burden that has fallen on families and communities. Non-profit organizations and corporations don’t have resources and experience to keep up with the demand for help on extended bases for warriors and their families.
Currently the success rate of warrior reintegration into US civilian and family life is less than 50%. If we look at the success rate over a 40 year period, it’s less than 25%. Why is this? There is a lack of Re-Entry Survival Teams that are flexible, passionate, and willing to make a difference in the lives of a warrior and their families. Without teamwork at the community and neighborhood level, warriors are unable to contribute their military experiences, knowledge, and skills to help in creating safe, friendly, and diverse “Organic Communities” to live in.
Warriors, their families, and communities don’t have the luxury of waiting! There’s a solution available now! It’s “Re-Entry Survival Teams” and it’s being offered through “R.E.S.P.O.N.D. Warrior Reintegration™.”

Does Your Re-Entry into Civilian Life Matter?
As a veteran, “YES” it does matter! Your re-entry into civilian life does matter! Why? You are the future for millions of civilians who will rely on your cutting-edge solutions, innovative research, and new technology to help sustain their quality of life and optimum mental and physical health. You have acquired extensive military and battlefield experiences, knowledge, and skills that can be shared to create safe, friendly, and diverse “Organic Communities” to live in.
Our current communities are riddled with unemployment, sexual assault, child abductions, segregation, foreclosures, fear, road rage, gang violence, bullying, burglaries, and spousal abuse. We’ve chosen to numb our discomfort or fear with drugs, food, video games, TV, movies, apathy, or alcohol. Too many veterans have come home with Post Traumatic Stress (PTS), Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Military Sexual Trauma (MST), or Combat Stress to find that they don’t fit into a nation or community prepared to welcome them home or support their families. Veterans and their families want to contribute, share their experiences, and create an Organic Community that is safe and friendly to raise a family and embrace our diversities.
Since most communities are ill-equipped and unprepared to initiate Re-Entry Survival Team programs, warriors will have to take the lead with guidance from “R.E.S.P.O.N.D. Warrior Reintegration™” to get it done. Warrior “Re-Entry Survival Teams” are inclusive teams! These Re-Entry Survival Teams are hand-picked with diverse training, education, leadership, and problem solving abilities that can operate independently, but choose to remain interdependent on the Organic Community. These inclusive teams are flexible, passionate, and inter-reliant on everyone’s knowledge, skills, and abilities despite how they were acquired.
We help warriors and their families create Re-Entry Survival Teams!

Why You Need Re-Entry Survival Teams!
If you recently left the military or have been home for a period of time, you may need to establish your “Re-Entry Survival Teams!” Why? Numerous studies and research have shown that for 70 years, over 75% of the warrior (veteran) community has faced numerous obstacles that have prevented their successful reintegration into family and civilian life. Research data has identified that warriors and their families are faced with the following hurdles:
- Heavy reliance on government at all levels to provide solutions
- Lack of adequate physical and mental health and wellness care
- Unemployment
- Substantial employment to support a family above the poverty level
- High rates of foreclosure, bankruptcy, and divorce
Without formidable Re-Entry Survival Teams, warriors and their families aren’t able to sustain a quality of life and optimum mental and physical health they deserve and require. Warriors have a higher rate of dementia, heart disease, Alzheimers, strokes, alcoholism, drug abuse, suicide, diabetes, or Chronic Disease than the general public. Over the next 50 years families will pay out-of-pocket more than $3.5 Billion for mental and physical health care for their warriors!
We help warriors and their families create Re-Entry Survival Teams!

Re-Entry Survival Teams!
I am the Founder and CEO of PTS Treatment, creator of Integrative Trauma Care, and an Alternative Specialist. I am proud to announce a new program for warriors (veterans) and their families, “R.E.S.P.O.N.D. Warrior Reintegration™”. It was created by PTS Treatment to enable warriors to adapt their military experience to build inclusive teams to successfully reintegrate into their families and civilian communities. We realize that some warriors will be returning with Post Traumatic Stress (PTS), missing limbs, Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), blindness, Military Sexual Trauma (MST), injuries, Combat Stress, or invisible wounds. Warriors, their families, and civilian communities may not be prepared for a homecoming and the reintegration process. There are some stigmas and limiting beliefs that warriors and members of the community are holding onto that may prevent the development of strong inclusive teams and neighborhoods. A common language and collaborative approach is essential if our warriors and communities are to survive! There is “NO Try!” We need to get it right; there are “NO Second Chances!”
Warriors (veterans) are struggling with their reintegration into their families and civilian communities. It’s affecting their family life, employment, bank account, and community support. We help warriors and their families to create “Re-Entry Survival Teams” by engaging the warrior’s military experience to contribute to their families and create safe, friendly, and diverse Organic Communities. Once the teams are operating successfully, we help move them from Survival to Prosperity!
We help warriors and their families create Re-Entry Survival Teams!
Are you ready to connect with your “Re-Entry Survival Teams?”

Finding Your Alternative Specialist!
Finding a professionally trained Alternative Specialist is not an easy task. First, you need to understand what an Alternative Specialist is and how they are unique in delivering their services. In the past three decades alternative practitioners, therapists, and physicians have blanketed the US with advertising that promises everything from feeling happy to miracle cures on the spot. You have to be aware that the healing process is a journey and that various alternative practices may not provide the quick solution you want. When alternative practices are sequenced properly, their results are amazing.
We believe that your Alternative Specialist needs to practice Alternative Trauma Care and comply with this definition. An Alternative Specialist is a professionally trained individual who identifies the causes of trauma to the body as both visible and invisible wounds. They use cutting-edge solutions with ancient wisdom to treat the cellular damage, and mental, emotional, and physical consequences. They collaborate with traditional and alternative medicine to achieve quality of life, optimum mental and physical health and wellbeing.

Alternative Specialists Have Arrived!
Alternative Specialists are now main-stream in our western society! Over 50% of the US population has now integrated Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) into their health and wellness care. There are no magic or simple solutions being offered here! Alternative Specialists possess the ability to listen and provide solutions that are effective and restore quality of life and optimum mental and physical health. Traditional Medicine, the VA, DOD, and the Pharmaceutical Industry in the US have been scrambling to embrace and partner with CAM for over 30 years. They have seen erosion in their revenue stream and lifetime patient base and want to prevent further losses. It’s sad to learn that Traditional Medicine is only interested in a partnership with CAM, if they can modify or change Alternative Medicine practices to comply with traditional and controversial scientific standards. The fact is that Alternative Medicine and Alternative Specialists don’t fit into a black and white box because their patients/clients aren’t there either.
As an Alternative Specialist, we bring a lot to the table in the way of our approach and alternative methodology:
- Aboriginal Medicine
- Ayurveda Medicine
- Chinese Medicine
- Complementary & Alternative Medicine (CAM)
- Cross Cultural Medicine
- Energy Medicine
- Herb Therapy
- Integrative Medicine
- Integrative Trauma Care
- Mind Body Medicine
- Nutrition Therapy
- Naturopathic Medicine
- Preventive Medicine
- Vitamin Therapy
As you begin to look around, you’re probably familiar with a few of these alternative treatments and solutions listed here:
- 12 Step Programs
- Acupuncture
- Art Therapy
- Cranio-Sacral Therapy (CST)
- Deep-breathing
- Feldenkrais
- Guided Imagery
- Hypnotherapy
- Massage
- Meditation
- Music Therapy
- Qi Gong
- Reiki
- Relaxation
- Rolfing
- Sound Therapy
- Stress Reduction
- T’ai Chi
- Yoga
When an Alternative Specialist has access to Integrative Trauma Care, they can effectively treat and provide solutions for depression, Post Traumatic Stress (PTS), night terrors, Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), insomnia, Military Sexual Trauma (MST), flashbacks, Combat Stress, anxiety, Second-Hand Trauma, obesity, diabetes, alcoholism, or drug abuse.

Your Health & Your Alternative Specialist!
Is your current state of health and wellness great, so-so, or in need of some major repair? Too often veterans, their families, friends, employers, and neighbors rely on the VA, Traditional Medicine, or your family doctor to do what’s right. They’re not trained to treat invisible wounds, trauma that causes cellular damage, and Second-Hand Trauma. They have used drug therapy, questionnaires, clinical treatment and therapy, invasive surgery, radiation, and other methods since World War II with dismal results.
Your health and wellbeing is important! You need answers and solutions that address the causes of your depression, Post Traumatic Stress (PTS), night terrors, Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), insomnia, Military Sexual Trauma (MST), flashbacks, Combat Stress, anxiety, Second-Hand Trauma, obesity, diabetes, alcoholism, or drug abuse.
Your reintegration into your families and the community is critically essential. Your warrior based experience, knowledge, and skills can be transitioned to successfully contribute in all levels within a civilian community. You need an Alternative Specialist who has access to Integrative Trauma Care. Your Alternative Specialist can help you create an inclusive formidable civilian team that is capable of outperforming your military team! An Alternative Specialist has the training and experience to walk with you and your family every step of the way and provide solutions.

Who’s Your Alternative Specialist?
An Alternative Specialist is a health and wellness professional with diverse backgrounds who treats people with invisible wounds. They practice what’s known as, “Integrative Trauma Care”! Integrative Trauma Care provides access to cutting-edge solutions, up-to-date research, new technology, and ancient wisdom to restore quality of life and optimum mental and physical health. Invisible wounds exist because of physical and mental trauma damage to every part of the body. Alternative Specialists realize that physical and mental trauma damage can’t be assessed or treated by a single therapy or session.
An Alternative Specialist takes an open-minded approach to identify the causes of both the visible and invisible cellular damage from traumas, provide multiple solutions to resolve the traumas and prevent reoccurrence, track the success/failure of the treatment process, and offer effective and affordable solutions despite gender, age, language, ethnicity, or location.
Invisible Wound: is the damage to living tissue at a cellular level from a traumatic event. The damage can dissipate within a few hours or linger for years. Every cell in the body is either changed or altered and the effects are felt physically, mentally, and emotionally, e.g., anxiety, changes in heart rate and blood pressure, stress, changes in blood and brain chemistry, depression, changes in digestion and hormone levels, anger.
An Alternative Specialist approaches imbalance within the body and focuses on finding the causes the imbalance or dis-ease! An Alternative Specialist is at home working with trauma victims who experience, depression, Post Traumatic Stress (PTS), night terrors, Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), insomnia, Military Sexual Trauma (MST), flashbacks, Combat Stress, anxiety, Second-Hand Trauma, obesity, diabetes, or Chronic Disease. An Alternative Specialist helps to repair the damage to living cellular tissue because every system and organ in the body has been affected or compromised by a traumatic event.
Do you have an Alternative Specialist to help you mend or heal the trauma within your body?
