What Is Sol’s Off-Campus Student Support Program?
The Off-Campus Student Support Program is Sol’s outpatient mental health and addiction treatment for college women, at 4175 Brockton Avenue in Riverside, five minutes from UC Riverside. It is all female, entirely in person, and it runs during the day so that the rest of your day is still yours.
We’re honored to support UC Riverside students through the Off-Campus Student Support Program.
It exists for the space between two things that do not fit. One hour of therapy a week is not enough for what you are carrying. Leaving school and going somewhere residential is more than you want, and possibly more than you need. Sol sits in between: partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient care, with the same weekly schedule as every other program at Sol, tailored to you inside that week.
Sol does not provide detox, inpatient or residential care, and there is no telehealth option.
Key Takeaways
- You do not have to leave school. Intensive outpatient is three days a week, you pick which three, and there are two start times, 9:00 AM and 10:30 AM.
- You do not have to leave your therapist either. Deeper treatment often makes individual therapy more useful when you come back to it.
- Sol accepts UC SHIP. Every plan is different, so the quickest way to know is to verify your insurance.
- Groups run at about six to eight women. Every group and every client is a woman.
- You can often start as soon as the next day. After your first call, you talk with a female clinician for about 30 minutes, so you are heard by a person from the very start.

Who This Is For
Anxiety that has stopped being manageable
Not nerves before a midterm. The kind that has started deciding which classes you attend. See anxiety.
Depression that has flattened the term
Sleeping through everything, or not sleeping, and the work piling up behind it. See depression.
Trauma
Including sexual assault, relationship trauma, or childhood experiences resurfacing now that you have space to feel them. See post-traumatic stress.
Drinking or using more than you meant to
It usually starts as a way to get through the week and quietly becomes the week.
Both at once
Many women arrive with a mental health condition and a substance that has been helping them cope with it. Co-occurring treatment is designed for exactly this.
Academic pressure that has become something else
Academic environments create a specific kind of stress, and for many women it stops being about the grades somewhere along the way.

You don’t have to have it all figured out. You do not need a diagnosis to call, and you do not need to know which of these you are.
If Your Campus Counseling Center Referred You Here
A referral from your campus counselor is not a rejection, and it is not a sign that you are worse off than you thought. It simply means she believes you deserve more support than one appointment a week can give, and we are glad she sent you our way.
What the handoff looks like. If your campus counselor recommends more support, you can sign a release so she can share her notes with our team, and you won’t have to start your story from the beginning.
You keep your counselor if you want to. Some students step back to campus counseling after the program, and some keep both running. What happens next is a conversation between you, your counselor and our team, and nobody at Sol will push you to close a door that is working.
“When your therapist recommends more support, that recommendation carries real clinical weight.”
Sol Women’s Treatment Clinical Team
Weekly Therapy and Sol’s IOP, Side by Side
What changes when you move from one appointment a week to a program.
| Weekly therapy | Sol’s intensive outpatient program | |
|---|---|---|
| How often | One session a week | Three days a week, the three you choose |
| Start times | Whatever your therapist has open | 9:00 AM or 10:30 AM |
| Who is working on it | One therapist | A clinical team, including therapy, psychiatry and case management |
| Group support | None | Group therapy with about six to eight women, every program day |
| Medication | A separate prescriber you find yourself | Medication management is part of your care |
| Between sessions | You hold it on your own for seven days | You’re back within a few days, not a week. |
| Paperwork for school or work | Usually not offered | Completed with you during case management |
This is not an argument for leaving your therapist. The two are not in conflict, and deeper treatment often makes individual therapy more meaningful when you return to it.

What is included
Individual therapy and continued medication management
The weekly schedule is the same across all of Sol’s programs. What changes between women is what happens inside it, mostly in the individual session. For a student, the part that usually matters is the flexibility of IOP.
What a Day Actually Looks Like
The program day is a morning, and it ends by 1:30 PM. Lunch isn’t served; you are welcome to eat on site, though most women head out for lunch, and the afternoon is yours for class, work or rest, which in the first week is often exactly what you need.
A morning includes process group, a skills workshop, and time with your individual therapist during the week. Skills workshops run on cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy and trauma-focused work. Across the week the program also uses EMDR, somatic therapy, group therapy, mindfulness meditation, acceptance and commitment therapy, holistic work, art groups and music groups. Twice a week a female gym owner comes on site and runs movement with the women. The full list of therapies sets out what each one is.
Therapy, medication management and case management are all under one roof, so there is no piecing together providers across town. Medication management is part of your care, with weekly psychiatry visits.
Case management is a part many students find surprisingly helpful. Lauren Sardia works with clients on applying to school and completing school requirements, including leave-of-absence and accommodation paperwork, signing up for assistance programs, completing FMLA or short-term disability paperwork, looking for and applying for jobs, interview preparation, time and budget management, and long-term goals. Sol is not a placement agency, and we never contact an employer or your school without a release you sign.
Between Terms
Winter, spring and summer breaks are often when structure disappears and symptoms get louder. Campus counseling reduces or pauses, your roommates go home, and the thing that was being held together by a timetable stops being held together.
The program runs year round, and a break is frequently the easiest time to start. There is no class to miss, no schedule to negotiate, and by the time the semester or quarter begins you already know what the mornings feel like.
If you are going home for the break and home is not a restful place, say that on the first call. We will take it seriously and plan with you.
Not sure whether this is the right level for you? After your first call, a female clinician talks it through with you for about 30 minutes and gives you an honest, caring answer. Call (951) 972-5085.
If Your First Thought Was That You Cannot Afford This
Please ask anyway. Here is what we can tell you.
Sol accepts UC SHIP. UC SHIP typically authorizes up to 30 days of PHP and up to 45 days of IOP at a time; your plan makes each decision, and a woman from our admissions team will help you verify your insurance before you start.
More broadly. Sol accepts most major insurance plans, including Aetna, Anthem, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Carelon, CareFirst, Cigna, UC SHIP and UnitedHealthcare. Every plan is different, so the quickest way to know is to verify your insurance. Sol can often work with HMO policies through a single case agreement. Sol does not accept Medi-Cal, Medicaid, Medicare, Molina, IEHP, Kaiser, TRICARE or TriWest.
Scholarship support is available; ask our team. It is worth asking before you assume you cannot afford this, and it applies to every Sol client, not only to students.
If money is what worries you most, please tell us. One phone call is all it takes to find out what your options are.

Who Finds Out
Many students quietly wonder about this, so here is a clear, honest answer.
Your school. Sol shares nothing with your university without a Release of Information that you sign. Not a dean, not a professor, not the disability office. Outside the narrow exceptions the law requires, nothing is shared without a release you sign. What we do is the other direction: if you need time off or academic accommodations for a mental health condition, Sol completes the paperwork your school asks for, with you, during case management. You decide what gets sent and to whom.
Your parents, if you are on their insurance. Your conversations here are confidential. What no treatment center controls is your insurance company. After services are billed, your plan sends an Explanation of Benefits to whoever holds the policy, showing that a claim was made and for what. It comes from your insurer, not from us, and we cannot stop it.
There is something you can do, and the time to do it is before anything is billed. Many plans offer what is called confidential communications, which lets you ask for correspondence to be sent to you rather than to the policyholder. Call the member services number on the back of your card and ask for it by that name. Tell our admissions team that this is your concern, and we will tell you what is being submitted and when.
If you would rather not use a parent’s plan at all, say so on the first call, and ask about scholarship support in the same conversation.
The building. Sol is a private, free-standing building on Brockton Avenue with covered parking at the back, and there is no shared waiting room with anyone else’s patients.
If Getting Here Is the Problem
Complimentary transportation is available for students and for women staying in our affiliate’s supportive housing. If you are coming from campus, just ask about it on your first call.
If you are driving, parking is covered and at the back of the building, five minutes from UC Riverside.
If you need somewhere to live while you are in treatment, Sol works closely with a supportive housing affiliate that has an all-female home about ten minutes from our treatment center, with experienced female house managers 24/7. The housing is operated by our affiliate, not by Sol, and the supportive housing page explains how that works.
How to Get Started
1
Call, or Send Your Insurance
Whichever is less daunting today. A woman from our admissions team helps you verify your insurance before anything else happens.
2
A 30-Minute Clinical Call
With a female clinician, on the phone. She asks what has been going on, talks with you about which level of care fits, and gently lets you know if another setting would serve you better.
3
Pick Your Start
You can often start as soon as the next day. If you are mid-semester or mid-quarter, we will build the three days around your class schedule rather than the other way around.
4
Your First Morning
You meet your therapist, you meet the group, and the paperwork side, school forms included, starts with case management that same week.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our admissions line is answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at (951) 972-5085.
Does Sol Accept My Insurance?
Sol accepts UC SHIP and most major insurance plans. UC SHIP typically authorizes up to 30 days of PHP and up to 45 days of IOP at a time; your plan makes each decision. Every plan is different, so the quickest way to know is to verify your insurance.
Can I Do This Without Dropping Out or Taking a Leave?
Usually, yes. Intensive outpatient is designed for this: three days a week, the three you pick, starting at 9:00 AM or 10:30 AM, finished by early afternoon. Caring for your mental health now, rather than pushing through to the next break, can make it easier to stay enrolled. If you are between terms, that is often the easiest time to start.
I Already Have a Therapist. Do I Have to Stop Seeing Her?
No. One hour a week is real support, and an IOP adds focused, structured care on top of it. The two aren’t in conflict; deeper treatment often makes individual therapy more meaningful when you return to it. Bring her into the conversation rather than choosing between the two.
Will My Parents Find Out?
If you are on a parent’s or guardian’s insurance plan, here is the honest answer, because you should hear it from us rather than from a letter at home. Your conversations here are confidential. What we do not control is your insurance company. After services are billed, your plan sends an Explanation of Benefits to whoever holds the policy. It is a statement showing that a claim was made and for what. It comes from your insurer, not from us, and we cannot stop it. There is something you can do, and the time to do it is before anything is billed: many plans offer confidential communications, which lets you ask for correspondence to be sent to you instead of to the policyholder. Call the member services number on the back of your card and ask for it by that name, and tell our admissions team that this is your concern so we can tell you what is being submitted and when. If you would rather not use a parent’s plan at all, say so on the first call and ask about scholarship support in the same conversation.
Will Sol Tell My School?
No. Sol shares nothing with your university without a Release of Information that you sign. Not a dean, not a professor, not the disability office. Outside the narrow exceptions the law requires, nothing is shared without a release you sign. What we do is the other direction: if you need time off or academic accommodations for a mental health condition, Sol completes the paperwork your school asks for, and we do that with you during case management. You decide what gets sent and to whom, and you sign for it.
Can I Do Any of This Online?
No. Everything at Sol is in person, at 4175 Brockton Avenue in Riverside, five minutes from campus. There is no telehealth or online option. If your classes are remote this term, the program still is not, and that is worth knowing before you plan your week.
Is Sol Residential? Do I Live There?
No. Sol is outpatient only. You come for the morning and you go home. There is no detox, no inpatient care and no residential program. If you need housing while you are in treatment, Sol works with a separate supportive housing affiliate, and that is an affiliate arrangement rather than part of the program.
How Fast Can I Start?
Often as soon as the next day, once your benefits are confirmed and the clinical call is done. Next-day starts are not a student-only arrangement; they apply to every Sol client.
Is Everyone There My Age?
No, and many women find that is part of what makes the groups feel supportive. Groups run at about six to eight women across a range of ages and circumstances. Every group and every client is a woman.
What If I Am in the Middle of the Semester or Quarter and Cannot Miss Class?
Say that on the first call. IOP is three days a week and you choose which three, with a 9:00 AM or 10:30 AM start, so the program is built around a timetable you already have. If your course load truly cannot flex, a lighter load or a leave may be worth considering, and our team will gently talk that through with you so your plan feels workable.
What If Something Happened to Me and I Have Never Said It Out Loud?
Many women come to us carrying something they have never said out loud, and you are welcome here just as you are. Trauma work, including after sexual assault, is part of what this program does, and nothing gets shared in group that you do not choose to share. You can tell one clinician on the phone before you tell a room.
