About Solara Veterans Behavioral Health Treatment Center
Solara Veterans Behavioral Health Treatment Center offering a veteran-exclusive behavioral health and substance use program in San Diego's Pacific Beach neighborhood.
The team provides trauma-informed residential and outpatient care addressing PTSD, military sexual trauma, moral injury, co-occurring substance use and related conditions.
As a VA Community Care Network participating provider Solara creates a space where veterans never have to "translate" their service experiences to receive understanding, culturally competent care.
Veteran-Focused Recovery
Solara's specialty is trauma-informed treatment designed exclusively for veterans offering residential treatment, outpatient and virtual intensive outpatient options.
The program draws on military cultural competency to address PTSD, MST and the deeper wounds of moral injury alongside any co-occurring substance use.
Care is built on therapies like Cognitive Processing Therapy, EMDR, Prolonged Exposure, CBT and DBT, paired with individual, group and family sessions.
Adjunctive supports such as TMS, aquatic PTSD therapy, art therapy and mindfulness help address root causes while building lasting coping skills.
Peer Advocacy and Self-Governance
A standout feature is Solara's supervised peer advocacy and self-governance model where veterans support one another in recovery.
Residents help orient newcomers, assist with goal setting and take on formal leadership roles, blending accountability and community into the healing process.
