Real Stories From Those We Serve
I was scared it would feel clinical or cold. It wasn’t. It felt human. Honest. Like people truly cared if I made it.
They didn’t just treat my symptoms—they saw the whole me. I’ve never felt more supported.
Every day I showed up, I felt seen. The trauma groups helped me face what I’d been avoiding for years.
I was barely holding on when I started. Solara’s PHP gave me a plan, a purpose, and people who didn’t let me give up.
I didn’t know how much I needed daily structure until I had it. PHP gave me space to breathe—and tools to rebuild.
Frequently Asked Questions

PHP offers hospital-level care during the day (6–8 hours, 5 days/week) while allowing patients to return home each evening.
Inpatient care requires 24/7 supervision. IOP (Intensive Outpatient Program) is less intensive (3–6 hours/day), and standard outpatient therapy usually involves 1–2 sessions per week.

Most clients participate in PHP for 2 to 6 weeks, depending on symptom severity, clinical progress, and readiness to transition to a lower level of care like IOP.
PHP is a full-day program, so daytime work isn’t typically feasible. However, you’ll be home each evening, which allows for limited family or caregiving responsibilities outside of treatment hours.
