A Female-Founded, Female-Led Program for Lasting Recovery
Our Story
Every treatment center has a story—but Sol Women’s Treatment began with a vision that was both deeply personal and powerfully professional. In 2024, Tania Acevedo, MA, LPCC, and her husband opened Sol with one mission: to create a safe, all-female environment where women could heal from substance use, trauma, and mental health struggles without stigma or judgment.
Tania is not only the founder but also the Clinical Director and the “brainchild” behind the program. With more than 13 years of clinical experience in behavioral health, she has worked as a therapist, case manager, and program leader across both mental health and substance use treatment. Over the years, she saw firsthand how women often felt unseen in mixed-gender programs, or how trauma survivors found it difficult to fully engage in treatment without the safety of an all-female space.
In July 2024, Sol Women’s Treatment officially opened its doors in historic Downtown Riverside, California. What started as a vision to create a sanctuary for women has quickly become a vibrant community where lives are being rebuilt every day.
Today, Sol remains family-owned and operated, a rarity in an industry dominated by corporate treatment chains. Every client who enters our doors becomes part of something personal: a program led by women, designed for women, and rooted in the belief that healing is possible when women are supported as whole people.
Our Mission and Vision
At Sol, our mission is simple yet powerful: to help women return to their best selves.We believe that recovery is not only about abstaining from substances or managing symptoms—it’s about rebuilding identity, rediscovering confidence, and reclaiming joy.
Our vision is to be the Inland Empire’s leading women’s-only treatment center, recognized for:
Clinical excellence in dual diagnosis care.
Trauma-informed, holistic approaches.
A safe, welcoming community where every woman feels valued.
When women heal, families heal. And when families heal, communities grow stronger. That is the heart of Sol Women’s Treatment.
Our Treatment Center
Sol Women’s Treatment is proud to offer a 3,800 square foot freestanding treatment center located in historic Downtown Riverside. Unlike programs that rent office space or share buildings, our center is a standalone treatment center, designed to give women privacy and security.
Features of Our Treatment Center
Freestanding, private center with a welcoming design.
Private and confidential treatment spaces built for intensive therapy, psychiatry, and life skills work.
Therapy rooms designed for individual, group, and holistic work.
Peaceful community spaces for mindfulness, art, and recovery groups.
Our Supportive Housing
For women who need stability outside treatment hours, Sol offers all-female supportive housing located just 10 minutes from the center.
Three-story home with 5 bedrooms and 10 beds.
Pool for recreation and wellness.
Two experienced female house managers who provide structure, accountability, and safety.

This place is so amazing they truly helped me overcome my struggles. This group has been life-changing for me. The holistic therapy approach creates such a safe, healing environment. I’ve grown so much mentally and emotionally thanks to the support of the facilitators and the women here. I can’t say enough good things about this group. The therapists genuinely care, the energy is welcoming, and the holistic tools we learn actually help in everyday life. I’ve never felt more supported :)

I lived at the grateful steps homes for about 5 months. This home was one of the best decisions I made all year. The house managers are the most amazing people who truly care about your recovery. I was a client at Sol women treatment where I got the best treatment for my conditions. They helped me get back into the real world after suffering from major disorders. I live all the way in Texas and I still would only choose this place to do my recovery.

I was a patient at Sol and was slightly apprehensive at first. I did not want to take time from my busy life to sit in groups and learn "coping skills". I really thought it would be a waste of my time.
I am sooooo grateful I went and stayed for the duration of my treatment. Every person involved in the magic there was a piece of my journey in healing. They each allowed me to be myself and encouraged me to. Shine bright. I was respected and honored by each of them. They supported my family goals and even tailored therapy for that. They helped me with my career goals and provided resources to reach those goals. The psychiatrist listened to my concerns about meds and helped me dial in my regimen. Johnna, the therapist is very professional, calming supportive and caring. Jenni, the case manager is one of the kindest women I've encountered. She is warm, insightful, and resourceful. Whitney, Milton, EVERYONE is an ingredient to the recipe of Magic. I'm so grateful I was "sentenced" to go there by my husband, it was the greatest gift he could ever give me. Thank you SOL staff for being a huge part of my journey. ☀️I SHINE BRIGHT AGAIN! ☀️

I've worked in treatment for years. When my loved one needed help, I called my old colleagues. They recommended Sol, stating they actually cared. Sol didn't just help my wife, they helped save our marriage and our family. If you are reading this as a desperate partner or father, I recommend them without a single reservation. They truly care. They saw and did what I could not. They helped her find her light again.

This place changed my life! I felt safe from the first conversation I had on the phone, through every step of the way. I received the very best care with kindness and compassion from every member of their team. Every group encompass skills and tools I neededthat I didn't know I needed. I felt heard and understood. I developed friendships with the other girls in treatment and still keep in touch with them. I highly recommend this place to any woman that is struggling with their mental health. Great place indeed.

Sol Mental wellness helped change my life. If you’re reading this and are scared to make the leap forward, please keep reading... Having CPTSD, I finally found a safe place that is focused on figuring out what struggles I was going through mentally which had affected other areas of life. Years of struggling with addiction, depression, anxiety and complex ptsd, the program offers EMDR therapy, art therapy, sound bath, CBT/DBT, yoga, music/dance, individual therapy, psychiatric care, and case management are offered as a daily routine that help you compartmentalize life and be ready to take it head on. Resources of sober living with an amazing house, loving management staff; Grateful Steps allows you to feel safe, structured and driven to do better. Amenities such as decompression room, amazing massage chair while being surrounded by local yummy coffee shops, it’s a “home away from home”. I can’t thank the program, staff and owners Tania and Steven, more for all that Sol guided me towards and that was better self esteem, healthier boundaries and the firm belief that I matter and my life is completely worth working for and living.

I cannot speak highly enough of the care provided by Sol Mental Wellness. From the moment I reached out, I felt genuinely heard, supported, and respected. The team is deeply compassionate, knowledgeable, and committed to helping clients navigate some of the most challenging times in their lives with grace and dignity.
The clinicians create a warm and nonjudgmental space that encourages healing and growth. Every step of the process, from intake to treatment planning feels intentional and tailored to individual needs. It’s clear that they prioritize both mental health and whole-person wellness, which makes all the difference.
Whether you're seeking support for trauma, anxiety, depression, or other mental health challenges, Sol Mental Wellness offers not only professional expertise but also a sense of hope. I'm incredibly grateful for the care I've received and would recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking for meaningful, lasting change.

My wife came to treatment here earlier this year. The staff at Sol were outstanding from day one. From her therapist to the psychiatrist to the front desk, everyone treated her with patience, professionalism, and compassion. Her treatment plan was customized and adjusted as she progressed, and the trauma-focused care—including EMDR—helped her access healing in a way that inpatient care only began to touch.
As a partner, I also appreciated how communicative and respectful the team was. They didn’t just treat her symptoms—they saw the whole person, and that made all the difference. Sol helped her reclaim her sense of agency and hope, and as someone who walked beside her through the darkest parts, I can honestly say the program gave us both a chance to start rebuilding a future.
