Tom Spooner is a Former Delta Operator and Warriors Heart Co-Founder/President whose service to our nation in the U.S. Army spanned nearly 21 years (1990-2011), primarily in Iraq and Afghanistan (including 12 deployments and 40 months in combat). His military career included time in the 82nd Airborne, as a Green Beret in the US Army’s 7th Special Forces Group and, ultimately, in the U.S. Army’s 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment Delta as an Operator. Since retiring from the military in 2011, Spooner has successfully enabled thousands of warriors to acknowledge their struggles, seek treatment, and understand that they are not alone. Spooner joined forces with successful treatment providers Josh and Lisa Lannon to open Warriors Heart in 2016. Spooner helped build the curriculum for Warriors Heart's Full Continuum of Care, which includes Detox, Inpatient, Outpatient, Sober Living and Aftercare on 500+ acre ranch locations in Texas and Virginia. Warriors Heart is the first and only private and accredited treatment center in the United States that is exclusively for warriors (military, veterans and first responders) struggling with addiction, PTSD and co-occurring issues. Spooner speaks from the heart about personally struggling with chemical dependencies, PTSD, mild TBI, a suicide attempt and more to help his fellow warriors heal. Spooner’s work has been featured by the TODAY Show, A & E’s Intervention, Stars and Stripes, National Defense Radio Show, Military Families Magazine, San Antonio Express-News, FOX 11 Los Angeles, WNCN CBS 17 Raleigh, KSAT ABC San Antonio, and many more media. https://www.warriorsheart.com/about-us/staff/#tom-spooner This interview highlights why both legal and illegal substances can be more deadly for warriors.
