How We Treat
Patriot PowerUp: Treatment Approach
Overview
Our mission at Patriot PowerUP is to offer trauma-informed, neuroscience-backed care that goes beyond symptom management. This hub article outlines our unique treatment philosophy and links to in-depth spokes that explore the core methods we use to support healing for veterans with PTSD, depression, anxiety, TBI, and other complex conditions.
Our Healing Philosophy: From Inflammation to Independence
At Patriot PowerUP, we believe that recovery begins with the brain’s natural ability to heal—when given the right environment. Our approach moves through three progressive stages:
-
Reduce Inflammation
Neuroinflammation acts like a traffic jam, disrupting blood flow and communication in the brain. Our therapies target inflammation first, clearing the way for healing to begin.
-
Fuel Brain Repair
With inflammation lowered, we use oxygen-rich therapies and personalized nutrition to energize and restore damaged cells, supporting cellular health and brain function.
-
Promote Neuroplasticity
By increasing the brain’s adaptability, we help veterans build new patterns of thought, behavior, and coping. This empowers lifelong mental wellness.
“We’re not just treating symptoms – we’re empowering veterans to take control of their mental health for the long haul.”
Our Key Therapies in Action
At Patriot PowerUP, our therapies are rooted in clinical research and tailored to the needs of veterans. Each method is integrated into a comprehensive, personalized treatment plan:
A breakthrough treatment for PTSD, depression, and anxiety. Ketamine rapidly reduces symptoms and boosts Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), promoting neuroplasticity and healing. Its anti-inflammatory effects also make it effective for traumatic brain injuries (TBI).
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)
Veterans with TBI or chronic inflammation benefit from high-pressure oxygen therapy. HBOT enhances blood oxygenation, reduces brain inflammation, supports cell repair, and improves cognitive function in a non-invasive setting.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)
TMS uses magnetic pulses to stimulate areas of the brain responsible for mood regulation. Especially effective for treatment-resistant depression, it helps reset neural pathways and improve emotional balance.
Veterans receive personalized, one-on-one counseling to work through trauma, anxiety, grief, and more. Our clinicians use trauma-informed approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and EMDR to foster emotional growth and healing.
Group Therapy
Veterans benefit from peer-led group sessions where shared experience fosters trust, accountability, and community. Topics include trauma processing, emotional regulation, and rebuilding self-worth.
Experiential Therapy
This includes expressive and activity-based modalities like art therapy, equine therapy, and movement therapy. These approaches help veterans engage the mind and body to process trauma in alternative, impactful ways.
Treatment Philosophy in Action
Each therapy is selected based on clinical evaluation and integrated into a personalized care plan. Veterans in our residential program benefit from:
- 24/7 trauma-informed support
- Veteran peer mentorship
- Individual and group sessions
- A focus on independence, not dependency
Whether dealing with a traumatic brain injury, unresolved grief, or treatment-resistant PTSD, our multi-layered model ensures that each veteran is met where they are—and supported through every step.
