Intrepid Spirit Center helping soldiers recover at Fort Bragg

The state-of-the-art center has helped soldiers like Matthew Cieslak, who is recovering from a neck issue he suffered while in service.

Long after the bandages and splints are removed, a soldier's invisible wounds often remain. The resources at the Intrepid Spirit Center are critical for their success.

The process can be long, with a variety of health professionals working to fully heal the men and women in uniform.

“I’ve got buddies that have committed suicide, that honestly, after going through the treatment, would still be here,” Cieslak said.

The intrepid center is a satellite for the national center in Maryland. Since last year, 66 patients have come through Fort Bragg for treatment—95 percent returned to full duty.
