It’s about time I reviewed this place. Back in 2018 I hit an unbearable low. I no longer could take care of myself. After being diagnosed with everything in the book starting from the age of 8, I gave up. Nothing was helping. When I came to Solara, I was desperate but I really wanted to change the way I experience life. Though it was rough going there and it felt as though I couldn’t control my day in and day out anymore…. That was exactly what I needed. The classes were helpful. The therapists were helpful. And I discovered the only thing that has ever helped me out. DBT. I wasn’t sure I could rate this place when I left because I was new, I was fragile and I had to rebuild my world coming out. After three years I can fully say that Solara is the reason I am alive and thriving today. Thank you to all the faculty and RAs at the time. And of course to the group member I was there with that I hope are leading better lives like I am. My advice coming in is be open, listen, and put the effort in when you can.

My experience with Solara was amazing. I felt that all of the clinical services matched exactly what I was looking for. I was challenged to become by best self. Looking in the mirror is at your issues can be very uncomfortable, but I always felt supported by the staff while exploring so many things.On the non treatment side of things, I felt the residences were comfortable and the staff were always there to help and accommodate. The food was also very good.I would recommend anyone looking for mental health treatment to go to Solara. They really address your individual needs and you come out a better person.

I had a loved one who recently went through Solara. They had a great experience. Their biggest take away was all of the individual therapy attention they had to work through their issues. Most weeks they had at least 5 individual therapy sessions, with a variety of therapists, something that they never received at past treatment centers.From a loved ones perspective, having family therapy with Vicky was hugely helpful. We still have a long way to go, but the first steps taken during these family sessions at Solara were some great first steps.Seeing your loved one struggle is heartbreaking, but seeing them get on a road of recovery is a remarkably good feeling and Solara did a great job of guiding them through this initial process.

I have struggled with depression, anxiety, OCD for my whole life. Nothing has come close to the help I received at Solara. I have been to treatment before and had a very negative experience so going to Solara I was nervous. However, once getting there, the staff treated me like an adult for the first time and they truly truly care. The clinical staff and the non clinical staff are phenomenal. There is always someone to talk to and to understand. Each weekend there are fun outings and activities and we got to take beach walks almost everyday. It is as least isolating as a treatment center can be. Of course, it was very hard and the first week was really tough and exhausting, but the time flies and I made life long friends. I would always recommend anyone struggling to consider Solara, as it changed my life for the better.

My best friend just left 2 weeks ago and I’m so appreciative of the therapist that helped her feel like herself again, she’s so happy. Thank you to everyone who played a part in this. Totally recommending this place for anyone who needs it!

I went to Solara because they stated that they were experts in trauma. I was transferring from a facility where there had just been a completed suicide. Not only did I have severe PTSD and childhood trauma but I had also just experienced the extreme trauma of losing a friend to suicide in treatment. Because my flight was a few hours late on Thursday 8/12, the team stated that I would have to be admitted on Sunday because there is virtually no programming or support on the weekends. This shocked me as this was not what their website reveals, in addition to the fact that I had just been through this extreme trauma while in an inpatient facility. I was stunned they wanted me to wait. On Sunday, United airlines delayed my flight and I was going to land in San Diego at 6:16 pm. Solara stated that this was not doable for them and that I would have to find a place to crash for the night at my own expense and that they would pick me up on Monday 8/16 at 12pm. Again, I was stunned. I was actively experiencing suicidal ideation and trauma and have three serious suicide attempts myself including coma and brain injury and this team of trauma experts thoughts these were the best choices? I have my masters in rehabilitation counseling and work as a disability analyst. I know that the most important thing would have been to get this critical patient into care but still, the team passed and abandoned me with no treatment. Thankfully my best friend lives in San Diego and I was able to crash there. On Monday 8/16 I dragged all my suitcases downstairs, locked the door and waited outside. 12pm came and went. I called Solara and asked to speak to David Hughlett who had handled admissions and he stated that they were admitting someone else and it would be a while. I began crying hysterically as I was abandoned on the street and I was experiencing suicidal ideation and a great deal of trauma and Solara had abandoned me for almost five days. Not once did a doctor call to assess my status even after I reported all of the reasons that I was coming to Solara. Apparently they had no concern that I would commit suicide. When I got there it was obvious that David had lied to me about staffing, they were way understaffed which is a big reason nobody could ever come and pick me up. In addition, there are only 6 spots for outings so with 18-25 patients, you get trapped inside. ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT STAFFING. Staffing matters, it saves lives! I was told by Ian because of my suicide history someone would actually knock on my door or open my door while I slept every 15-30 minutes. This DID NOT happen. Nobody came to check on me as I laid awake the first/only night I was there. Ian also told me that he would get me lunch when I arrived, this never happened. I did not get to eat breakfast or lunch on Monday. Forget about those plated meals you see online, you pick up your lunch and dinner in a box from a heated window that is prepared hours before. Breakfast is continental. They messed up my medication doses. They do not have nurses on staff which means you self administer your medication. I told them that this was a problem for me as I have a history of overdose and they said “okay, well you have to do it here because we can’t.” This experience was extremely traumatic. Solara needs to be much more transparent about the kind of people they employ. Do not expect RNs or experienced therapists on staff. Low level, undereducated staff runs most of Solara. The RAs are very inexperienced.Character limit exceeded. See more of my review on yelp.Stay safe if you experience suicidal ideation, trauma, and PTSD, go somewhere fully staffed and TRAUMA INFORMED and stay away from Solara.YOU MATTER!

After much thought, I feel its important to report this facility for unethical and disturbing treatment of clients as well as staff. the owner is dishonest at best, and has negative intentions . getting money is the number one focus! if you care about getting proper treatment please look elsewhere. as a consumer it is often difficult to find a good treatment facility. websites are deceiving . check with NAMI, or a private psychiatrist for authentic options for your loved one. I personally know of two deaths that have occurred within weeks of leaving this facility!! poor quality treatment!!! MONEY is greed and gets in the way of offering good treatment. Quality clinical care is most important and its at the bottom of the list for this place. This facility is in over their heads when it comes to truly having the ability to ethically handle and treat this population. they would do best to close before others are damaged by inappropriate care.

I had a really great experience with Solara. I was a danger to myself and pretty unstable when I decided to check myself in there, and I am so grateful that Solara gave me the tools to fight this in the future and eally get to know and love myself. I had planned on being there for a month, and I felt so pleased with the progress I was making that I voluntarily extended for two more weeks.The therapy was better than anything Ive ever had. We had five hours of group therapy five times a week, and three one-on-one sessions with our therapists. I was really dubious about the idea of group therapy walking in, but it was nice to hear that I often wasnt alone in how I was feeling. And I cant say enough positive things about my individual therapist, Stacey. She is tough and direct, while at the same time being incredibly validating and supportive.I will concur with other reviews that the food wasnt great...though I didnt go there for the food. I also had a med mixup when I got there, which was frustrating. It was ultimately solved, but I know a few others had some med issues too. Some of the rules were pretty annoying, but I know that they were ultimately there to keep us safe and help our recovery.Im posting two photos since theres no non-marketing photos posted--one of my room when I was unpacking, and one of the view out my window.*Just an FYI that my experience was March 2019; I think leadership/some of the therapists may have changed since then, so I can only speak to my experience at that time.

Im a licensed marriage and family therapist and I have personally referred clients to Solara. I have known other mental health professionals to do the same, all with outstanding results. They coordinate care throughout the clients treatment with personal support netwrok, clinical team and other professionals. I was very inpressed with their holistic approach to treating clients as well as their knowledge and use of evidence based approaches. I would hope that potential clients, their families and other professionals would consider Solara as their treatemnt center of choice.

I would think twice about going or sending a loved one to this facility. Not only has my partner gotten worse since being admitted, they isolated my partner from me in attempt to drive a wedge between us, which they succeeded in doing. I don’t believe that all the staff here are manipulative and insidious, but enough of them are that they were successful in ending a long term relationship because it was easier to put the blame anywhere but on themselves for being unable to help my partner.

Solara became a reprieve for my mind and my body. I met with incredible therapists, became friends with awesome people, and most importantly, got the help I desperately needed. While the whole thing isnt perfect, the therapy I received outweighed all of the rest. Im going home with more tools, knowledge, and understanding than what I came in with.EDITAdditionally, there are things about Solara that need to change, mainly the communication and professional manner of the administrators. While the RA staff and the therapists are great, there’s a few key people that need to listen to what the clients have said, and follow through on this. This edit comes after the pressure of the admin team to create this review and have it reviewed by them.

Review №16

I finished my 30 days at Solara less than two weeks ago. My stay at Solara was absolutely amazing. The staff and therapist at Solara were so friendly, kind, and helpful. The therapist there help me put my life back into perspective. Their intuitiveness, knowledge, and understanding was more than I could have ever hoped for. I am happier now that I have been in decades. Not only are the staff and therapist awesome but my fellow patients were just as helpful. I was truly fortunate to be surrounded by such a loving community. That’s what Solara is....its a loving community and a safe haven from the outside world... it is a place of Zen, where you can go and heal and get the help you need. I truly believe that my stay at Solara will greatly impact the rest of my life in a most profound way. They got my life back on track by giving me the tools and the perspective I needed to be happy. Internal happiness. Happiness that cannot be taken away.There are all sorts of reviews on here from good to bad but just remember it’s usually only people who have bad experiences that write reviews and all of these reviews were written by people going through difficult times. I would take the bad reviews with a grain of salt and put it into perspective. No, not everything was perfect. But then again, what in life is ever perfect. I’ll be the first to admit I am very particular. I like things a certain way. The staff and the therapist go out of their way to make sure that the patients are well cared for, comfortable and have everything they need to begin their new venture on the path of life. That’s what Solara does, and helps you put your life on a new path and it gives you the tools and the healthy coping mechanisms to keep you on that path long-term.I just want to say thank you, to the therapist, all the staff, and my fellow patients. Thank you for helping me put my life back in order and back into perspective. Thank you for helping me find my inner happiness and my inner peace. For this, I will be forever in your debt.Thank you all ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜💖Namaste 🙏🏼

Solara has helped me get back to my life. I came in feeling very anxious and depressed and have been able to overcome those feelings with the help and expertise of the therapists and staff. This facility is less restrictive than others I researched. The rooms are comfortable and clean, and there are outings. The facility is in a great location near the beach. My stay here has helped me to be well again. Thank you, Solara!

Solara Mental Health. You want to know what its like? What it offers? How can it help you? Is it the right fit for what youre going through?While I cant answer those questions for you, I hope that the information I provide will help you answer them for yourself!As a wife, and mother of 4 young children, I found myself in a sedentary state for much of 2020. After grief, depression piled onto my life long battle with anxiety. Diagnosed three years ago with ADD, I was still learning how it affected my daily life as well and what best to do to cope.I found myself broken. Feeling alone. Wondering what happened to ME. I was in all these rolls in life. But I felt lost. I was home and with the people whom I live and die for. I should be happy, I shouldnt want to be in bed all day. But I did. I had stopped taking my medication for ADD, I couldnt function within my life. I couldnt take care of myself, my marriage, my children, any relationship or responsibilities I had in my life. My brokenness had come and knocked me to my knees.A week later I found myself flying to California and being formally admitted to Solara Mental Health for their 30 day program. I stayed 47 days. If I did not have small children waiting for me I would have stayed 60 or 90 days.The wealth and depth of therapy I received was astounding. I felt like a dry sponge and I wanted to soak every single ounce of therapy I could.This program is what you put into it. They offer every angle of therapy possible. If its out there, Solara has it. Not only that, if there is an additional need, they will find it and make sure it is met.Whatever you put in to life, you get out of life. Such is the case at Solara. Choose to go. Choose yourself. Choose NOT to be broken. Chose Solara.They have so much to offer if you can just choose YOU, and put in the hard work that you deserve so that you can live a life you are worthy of. You can do hard things. WE can do hard things. You arent alone. Solara makes sure of that. You are NOT going to go through this alone.Group therapy was an incredible opportunity that I had yet to experience in life. It was mind blowing how much I gained from the insight of my peers. Ranging in age by many decades. Teenagers to great grandparents. All with experiences of strength to share. Questions of how to be strong when being strong is the last thing you feel you can be. And when you combine the group therapy to the individual therapies, transformation can and will take place if you allow it. If you can see past the minutia and do the work, you will see the progress. You will no longer feel broken.Not only will you feel better but you will leave with tools to help you cope and heal yourself once you are home.I am a middle aged wife, mom, daughter, sister, friend, neighbor, patient, leader, but I found something valuable at Solara. I found underneath all those roles, I found ME. I went there as ME. Sure I was still all those other things, but they no longer clouded the view I had of myself.Forever. I will be grateful forever. The team, the RA staff, the therapists, the directors, the crews in the residence making everything clean, and the food healthy and available. Solara cares. Choose to go. And choose to make the most of it by digging in, and getting well.I hope you choose to go. It will forever change your life and the life of those around you if you let it! Begin right where you are. Do hard things. You are not alone.C

I loved the location of Solara. The rooms felt super private and homey compared to usual bedrooms you see in places like this. It was really nice having my own space but also feeling taken care of. I never felt like I lost my independence which I really appreciated. The facilities were really great and the location in Pacific Beach is terrific, although there’s a lot of activity that close to the beach. But the Solara center is a really quiet and safe facility. I loved the beach walks and outings.

I absolutely loved my experience at Solara. Everyone there was amazing, from therapists to RAs to the people running things behind the scenes. This place helped me get my life back and helped me go from living in greyscale to living in full color again. The one thing that wasnt great was the food for someone with multiple dietary restrictions, but they are working on making it better using direct feedback from clients. I will never forget the respect I was treated with throughout the entire process, and the range of therapies offered. Some of the greatest people I ever met were at Solara with me, and I can tell you that if you are looking for a place to turn your life around, look no further.

Dr. Stacey was excellent. I wish she could be my therapist back at home. The other team members were helpful and patient. They kept us busy all day. I would have liked even more outings, but we did some fun activities on the weekends. The food was fine. The studios were very cool and it was nice to have the courtyard to hang out in.

Great Program! Like a lot of people this was not my first time seeking treatment so I know when their a good one. When I had issues with things the staff went out of their way to fix it. When your in a place like this people complain a lot no matter how good it is. Sometimes when you can’t control your own mind you try to control everything around you and you get mad when things don’t go your way believe me I’ve been there. So it’s sad that people were complaining at dumb things like crickets outside being too loud, or they don’t like the salad dressings offered. I felt like the important stuff is handled and any complaint I did have they tried to make me happy. I appreciated this. They are caring people. The place is really cool with a cool outdoor hang out area and being this close to the pier and beach was great. I would come back to Solara or recommend it to people for sure.

Not only save my life, but enhance it by a thousand percent. Ive never been more mentally for physically healthy in my life. I had no idea how strong, resilient, intelligent, and positive I could be in my life. All of my relationships have improved. All of my career has improved, everything has improved. I feel strong and happy and I will never ever ever forget solara.It was the most engaging powerful and Beautiful experience of my life. The variety of therapies available and expertise of the staff is UNMATCHED at any other program. Instead of putting a bandaid on your problems or addiction, they quickly help you get the the true root of your problems. Ive found that solara alumni are some of the most mentally healthy people Ive ever know. The staff to patient ratio is unmatched, and you get at least 3 individual sessions a week!! Unheard of anywhere else. Its a beautiful campus, nice private rooms, and 4 blocks to the beach!! We walk to the beach whenever we want. Lots of fun outings. Ive made dear friends here both in the clients and staff. They truly care and make themselves available whenever you need support. BEST choice of my life. I got my life back!! Love.Tip: jump in. Dont be scared, and dont hold back. The more you open up, the more you will heal, have groundbreaking experiences, and the more youll feel power and strength within yourself. Yes, I cried the whole first day, but realized the HUGE opportunity I had. I grasped it by the horns, focused and worked harder than I ever had in my entire life, and I got it back in spades. if you are deciding between a rehab center and solara, do solara. Rehab centers have no idea what theyre doing and are unable to connect mental health with addiction. This works, those dont (Ive tried both). The food isnt 5 stars, but who cares! We have the peaceful and healing beach/bay, year round sunshine, friendsnfriends, and most importantly, trained and HUGE variety of staff. The rooms and court yard are beauty and healing.*You WILL heal and find truly effective help here, If youre ready to take it. *

Review №31

Entry into the institution is simple and fast,Most people come in thinking,They’d never last.But at the end of the stay,One might even say:Freedom tastes like a hotel stay and açaí bowls.Neglect occurs when one forgets to,Or does not care for someone in need.This includes refilling medications on time,And keeping said medication in a safe place.Betrayal is what one feels,When one was promised a spot to return to,But was turned down and left to their own devicesOver a weekend.The lack of remorse for letting any of that happen.The lack of intervention,When one is actively being hurt,Disregarded, invalidated,Even by one whose job is to make others feel safe.Rudeness is when,One picks up a box of well-intentioned chocolates,And drops a piece,While checking the ingredients list,Then confiscating it,Accompanying it with a confusing impromptu meeting,A unapologetic apology,And explanation.Misguided is one,who pays more attention to orchids,Paintings and glass cups,Glass plates and a dying garden,Than a wilting system,Easily broken at a touch.Than human beings with hearts and lives,With feelings that hurt, ache, pain.Happiness in mental camp,Is the 50 minutes in an overstuffed chair,With a therapist who deeply cares,But not enough to prevent any of these atrocities from happening.It’s the society within,That makes anything tolerable.It’s the community,That sticks together.

For the sake of your mental health, go seek treatment someplace else. This is not a healthy environment in which to get well. The administration and therapists are phonies who only care about money and will pass you off to a different treatment center once they cant get anything more out of you.

Review №33

I really liked my time here. It’s no doubt the coolest layout of any places I’ve ever seen. I felt very comfortable here. They’re definitely going for a relaxed beachy spa vibe which really helped me not feel trapped or like I was in an institution or something. There’s a cool courtyard area to hang out in and it almost makes you feel like you’re at a nice hotel instead of treatment ha. Solara isn’t a perfect program but my actual treatment experience was very positive overall and I made alot of progress and gained alot from being there. All the staff was professional and positive. I really liked my individual therapist. Mike the chef was cool and he tried hard to accommodate my specific food needs. I’m usually not a breakfast person but I actually started to want breakfast while I was here. The activities were fun and it was nice to be close to the beach and Mission Bay. The location is one of the best things about it I’ve never lived so close to the beach before. I think more places should try to be like Solara with the vibe it’s going for and how awesome the staff is.

My mom has been here for around 4 months total. Staff refuses to let me talk to her, despite me being on her list of contacts. Every time I call I get the Someone will call you back tomorrow bs. I have talked to FIVE separate people and gotten the same thing. One lady hung up on me when i pleaded with her that I **AM** on the contact list for my mother. The next day, the only time they ever called me back, I got a lackluster apology about the mixup with my name on the list. Then it went back to being denied again and again.Doctors prescribe far too much medication, insurance refuses to cover the amount they put her on, even pharmacists say its too much.After finally getting out, three days later shes going back. They didnt prepare her for being home alone again, my mom didnt tell me of any resources they gave her. They didnt get prior authorizations for her medications so she couldnt get them without paying over 1300 out of pocket. So she just went back.Absolutely unprofessional staff. Im glad some people have had good experiences with Solara, but mine has been absolutely heartbreaking.edit:8 months there total I believe, shes still just as bad off. Still over-medicated. Thankfully shes been transferred to a new hospital where she can actually get help. New hospital agreed the medications she was placed on were too much and not to be used long-term.I dont care about your friendly public response to my review. Your staff have been horribly rude to me and a leech on my mother for the past months. Shame on you.

Review №38

The one consistent complaint from fellow residents and myself was that the expectations set by the website for the place simply werent met. Sort of a truth in advertising thing if you will. Healthy cuisine turned into dry sandwiches for lunch and pizza for dinner for about a week when the chef happened to be out for one week out of the three I was there and literally no plan appeared to be in place for his absence. The irony of this example was the place was surrounded by excellent sources of food, great stores and restaurants. The staff just didnt seem to be motivated enough to actually provide said good food to the residents during that absence, so we had costco pizza for dinner instead.The rooms they show are a bit misleading. There are no refrigerators in the rooms that I saw, and although there are kitchens in the rooms no food or drink is allowed in them because some rooms have an ongoing roach infestation issue (to be clear this was limited to about 3 of the rooms there). The rooms shown also appear to be singles and most people should expect to have a roommate while there. Like it or not. I actually made it quite clear to multiple staff on multiple occasions that I needed to learn being alone as a life skill and that request was never accommodated during my stay. The toilets tend to clog, you are responsible for all cleaning of your room, bathroom, towels, sheets, kitchen, etc.,.The location is very noisy. Youll hear a lot of helicopters, sirens, cars, traffic, loud people, etc., during the day. It does quiet down at night, however if you have an aversion to bright lights in your room this is not the place for you. For some odd reason they decided to install extremely blue/white lights on the exterior of the building facing the courtyard. These face into the rooms at night and give a sort of near early morning daylight experience during the middle of the night. Several people made repeated complaints about this issue interrupting sleep patterns and nothing was done to change it.For a place thats been established for well over a year they appear to be dealing with ongoing and self imposed growing pains. The resident manual often times doesnt match what actually happens and/or what are enforced rules. In addition, rules are enforced or not enforced based often times on the person in charge of enforcing said rules. This leads to a lot of confusion and resentment among the general population within the facility, and in some cases can take up valuable group times discussing said issues.Now lets get to some important issues. I tried to bring a safety issue to the attention of the Program Director at one point. Oddly, her response wasnt to ask me what that safety issue was but instead to ask me if I wanted to be discharged. The therapists there are golden, the administration is not. Advocate for yourself but dont expect change, it most likely wont happen and youll only end up getting frustrated or kicked out.If you do decide to admit yourself, or have a friend or family member admitted the best bit of advice I can possibly give you is to immediately upon arrival read the manual youre given and pay close attention to the patient rights section of it.update 2/5/19: The owner replied to my review and offered direct communication regarding my review. However, he left no potential way to contact him. In fact prior to my leaving the facility I went through the resident handbook and it was noted in resident rights that should the need arise we all had the right to request the phone number and address of the CEO. I did so on or around 1/23/19 directly asking the Program Manager for it. The handbook was then edited to delete this information about the CEO the following day, the Program Manager repeatedly denied it was edited yet still refused to provide the contact information for the CEO. I was never provided with the contact information for the CEO but was given the contact information for the head of HR. Feel free to contact me.Update 11/11/19 - The owner never attempted to contact me.
