Our Singular Mission: Serving Those Who Served
We provide a higher standard of care for our nation's Veterans.
This is more than a program.
It's where the old fight ends and your new life begins.

The Problem We Solve

You’ve been through the system. You know the frustration of promises that lead nowhere, and you're looking for something that actually works. We don’t just acknowledge that frustration—we’ve built our entire mission around ending it.

We created Solara to be the counter-move to every obstacle you've faced:

For the long waitlists: We offer immediate, decisive action.
For the therapists who don't get it: We provide a clinical team steeped in military culture.
For the sleepless nights on watch: We offer therapies that calm the nervous system.
For the feeling of being broken: We foster a community that helps you rebuild.
For the pills that only dull the pain: We deliver treatment that targets the root cause.
For the burden on your family: We provide a path to becoming the person you want to be for them.

The Solara Difference

Our approach is grounded in three timeless principles—real respect, clinical excellence, and the power of community.

A Program Built for Your Experience.

We built Solara from the ground up with a singular focus: to provide Veterans with a path to lasting recovery. We understand that the journey from service to civilian life carries unique challenges, and our entire program is designed to honor your experience and facilitate profound healing.

A Community of Peers
The foundation of our program is the powerful connection you'll build with fellow Veterans who share a common language and understand your path.
Respect in Every Interaction
We foster an environment of mutual respect, dignity, and understanding, recognizing the courage it takes to begin this mission.
Therapy That Speaks Your Language

Our clinical approach is specifically adapted to address the complexities of military-related trauma, stress, and depression.

An Environment That Inspires Healing.

We believe your environment is an active part of your therapy. We've created a sanctuary of peace and comfort—a world away from a cold, institutional setting—where you can feel safe, valued, and ready to engage in the work of recovery.

Upscale Accommodations
Our modern suites are designed for comfort and tranquility, providing an ideal space to rest and reflect on your recovery.
Restorative San Diego Setting
Our serene Southern California setting provides a peaceful, sun-filled backdrop for your healing journey.
Companion Animals Welcome

Solara is proud to be accredited by The Joint Commission. This signifies our unwavering commitment to meeting the highest national standards for safety, effectiveness, and quality of care in everything we do.

A Path Forward

We treat a wide range of mental health conditions for Veterans, including co-occurring disorders. Below are key areas of care, delivered with evidence-based, trauma-informed, personalized support.

Addressing the memories and triggers of traumatic events to restore your sense of safety and control.

Lifting the weight of persistent sadness and hopelessness to rediscover purpose and joy.

Breaking the cycle of worry, fear, and hypervigilance to regain a sense of calm and presence.

Treating the underlying causes of addiction and its link to trauma in a supportive, dual-diagnosis environment.

Healing from the complex emotional and psychological impact of combat stress and difficult moral choices.

Guiding the mind toward safety and resilience by breaking cycles of hopelessness and fostering renewed strength to choose life.
