Valor Recovery Program

You’re home. We’re here.

The staff at the Valor Recovery Program is dedicated to providing trauma and addiction treatment to those who serve our country and communities. The 28-day program is designed to help Active Duty Military, Veterans and First Responders process trauma, manage stress that encompasses life changes, and control unhealthy behaviors of addictions while maintaining sobriety.

The self-sacrifice to keep others safe involves witnessing and experiencing events that are difficult to process. The Valor Recovery Program unit is a safe place for individuals struggling to face these fears without judgement. Because our participants are surrounded by people with similar experiences and clinicians with military backgrounds, they have a great support system throughout your journey.

The program is directed by David R. Strother, licensed clinical social worker and Clinical Lead of the Valor Recovery Program at Signature Psychiatric Hospital in North Kansas City, Missouri. David’s background includes a service history with the U.S. Marine Corp. He was part of the first unit deployed to Kandahar, Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. Prior to his clinical work, David was a firefighter for the City of Lee’s Summit, Mo. Due to these various roles, he has a special passion for helping military service members and first responders. He completed his B.S. in Social Psychology from Park University and Master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Kansas.
