Supportive Information for Women and Families Considering Treatment
Why Resources Matter in the Recovery Journey
Recovery is not a single decision—it’s a process filled with questions, uncertainties, and important choices. At Sol Women’s Treatment in Riverside, we know that women and families need more than program descriptions or service pages. They need resources that answer questions, explain options, and provide clarity at every stage of the journey.
Here you will find resources to support women, loved ones, and referral partners with information that guides decision-making. These resources cover the kinds of questions women often ask when considering treatment: What level of care is right for me? How does insurance work? What role can my family play? What does supportive housing look like?
Who This Resource Hub is For
Women considering treatment
for substance use, trauma, or mental health.
Families and loved ones
who want to understand how to support recovery.
Professionals and referral partners
seeking clear information about levels of care, insurance, and treatment expectations.
Types of Resources You’ll Find Here
At Sol Women’s Treatment, our Resource Hub is designed to answer the kinds of questions women and families often have while exploring treatment. These resources are more in-depth and evergreen than blogs, providing structured support at the consideration stage of recovery.
Treatment Navigation
Understanding the treatment landscape can feel overwhelming. Our resources walk women and families through what to expect at different levels of care—from Partial Hospitalization (PHP) to Outpatient (OP)—and how to determine which program may be the best fit. We also touch on the importance of dual diagnosis treatment, the value of gender-specific programs, and how to decide between staying local in Riverside or traveling out-of-state. These navigation guides provide practical insight for women deciding on their next step.
Family Support and Involvement
Families are vital to a woman’s recovery journey, but many loved ones don’t know how to help without enabling. Our resources provide guidance on setting healthy boundaries, the role of family therapy, and what to do if relapse happens. Whether you are a parent, sibling, partner, or close friend, these resources help you understand the recovery process and support your loved one with compassion and confidence.
Insurance and Financial Guidance
Financial concerns are one of the biggest barriers to entering treatment. Our insurance resources break down behavioral health coverage in plain language. We explain how single-case agreements work, what to do if your insurance denies coverage, and what private pay options look like. We also highlight which major providers we work with and how women’s-only programs like Sol are often covered, even when it feels like options are limited.
Recovery Lifestyle and Aftercare
Recovery doesn’t stop after completing a program—it’s a lifelong journey. Our aftercare resources highlight what comes next: supportive housing, building sober networks, transitioning from intensive programs to independent living, and developing relapse prevention strategies. We also provide tips for everyday wellness, including mindfulness practices, nutrition, and stress management tools that sustain recovery long-term.
Educational Guides for Professionals
Referral partners such as therapists, hospitals, or EAPs often seek information about gender-specific care. Our resources for professionals explain why women’s programs are essential, how to connect clients with Sol, and what evidence-based therapies are most effective in treating trauma, substance use, and co-occurring disorders.
Treatments and Therapies that Support Women’s Recovery
While Levels of Care (PHP, IOP, OP) and Programs (such as Relationship Recovery or Trauma-Targeted) define where a woman is in treatment and what track she follows, our therapeutic modalities define how we help her heal. These treatments are integrated into every level of care, personalized to meet each woman’s needs, and delivered by licensed clinicians with years of expertise.
Here are some of the core treatments you’ll find at Sol Women’s Treatment. Each one plays a unique role in addressing substance use, mental health, and trauma for women in Riverside and the Inland Empire.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT is one of the most widely used evidence-based therapies for addiction and mental health. It helps women identify harmful thought patterns and replace them with healthier, more balanced perspectives. In practice, CBT teaches practical coping skills, improves problem-solving, and provides tools to handle triggers and stress in everyday life.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Originally developed for borderline personality disorder, DBT has become a gold standard for treating emotional dysregulation, self-harm behaviors, and trauma-related conditions. At Sol, DBT is used to help women learn emotion regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills are especially important for women who have experienced trauma or struggle with intense relationships.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
EMDR is a specialized therapy for trauma and PTSD. Guided by an EMDRIA-certified clinician, women use bilateral stimulation (eye movements, sounds, or taps) to safely reprocess traumatic memories. This reduces the emotional intensity of painful experiences, allowing women to move forward without being trapped by their past. EMDR is one of the most effective trauma therapies available and is a cornerstone of our women’s trauma treatment.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
ACT is a therapy that helps women accept difficult emotions while committing to behaviors aligned with their values. Instead of trying to control or suppress painful thoughts, women learn to face them with self-compassion and focus on what matters most—whether that’s family, career, health, or personal growth.
Somatic Therapy
Trauma often lives in the body, not just the mind. Somatic therapy helps women reconnect with their bodies through gentle physical awareness, breathwork, and grounding exercises. This therapy is particularly effective for survivors of trauma, teaching them to regulate stress responses and feel safe in their own skin.
Art and Music Therapy
Creative therapies allow women to express emotions that may be difficult to put into words. Art therapy uses drawing, painting, and other forms of creative expression, while music therapy provides emotional release through rhythm and sound. Both modalities create safe, healing outlets that complement traditional talk therapy.
Mindfulness and Meditation
Mindfulness practices, including guided meditation and mindful breathing, teach women how to stay grounded in the present moment. These techniques reduce anxiety, improve focus, and help regulate stress. For many women, mindfulness becomes a lifelong tool for maintaining balance in recovery.
Sound Bath and Breathwork
Holistic modalities like sound baths and breathwork promote relaxation and emotional release. A sound bath uses resonant instruments such as crystal bowls to create calming vibrations, while breathwork uses controlled breathing exercises to reduce stress and release tension. These therapies help women feel centered, relaxed, and restored.
At Sol, these therapies are never “one-size-fits-all.” Every treatment plan is tailored to the individual, ensuring that women receive the right combination of evidence-based and holistic care to support their healing journey.
What to Expect in Women’s Supportive Housing
Supportive housing can be the difference between sustained recovery and relapse, but many families don’t know what it looks like. Our supportive housing resource will outline:
What daily life looks like in a women-only recovery home.
How house managers provide accountability and structure.
The role of peer support in recovery.
How housing supports the transition from IOP/PHP to independence.
This type of resource reassures families and helps women feel confident about taking the next step.

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.

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.

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.
