About Solara Mental Health

Solara Mental Health is an exclusive psychological treatment program that provides treatment for a broad spectrum of psychological disorders such as depression, anxiety, personality disorders, suicidal ideation, and PTSD. Solara Mental Health provides a comprehensive and progressive inpatient treatment program. Programs are highly personalized by a team of medical experts. The Core In-Residence Program is a 24-hour monitored program with 4-12+ weeks of therapies such as TransCranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), CBT, DBT EMDR, and relational therapy. A variety of holistic therapies are offered, including acupuncture, mediation and mindfulness, yoga, horticulture therapy, and family therapy. Everyday at Solara is different, but typically weekdays consist of multiple, intensive therapy sessions, 1-on-1 meetings with a psychiatrist and nurse, experiential activities, and time for decompressing and relaxing throughout the day. On weekends, clients get to take advantage of the world-famous local surroundings by participating in longer outings and activities and events, along with therapy and great meals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Solara Mental Health accept Medicaid?
SAMHSA data does not list Medicaid among this facility's accepted payment types. Call (833) 977-3468 directly to confirm — coverage may have changed since the last SAMHSA sync. You can also browse other VA centers that accept Medicaid.
What level of care does Solara Mental Health offer?

How do I start treatment at Solara Mental Health?
Call the facility directly at (833) 977-3468 for an intake assessment. Our free 24/7 helpline (+1 (205) 973-2878) can also help you compare programs, verify insurance, and navigate options. No physician referral is required.
Is treatment confidential?
Yes. Federal law (42 CFR Part 2) provides strict confidentiality protections for substance use treatment records — stricter than HIPAA. Records cannot be disclosed without written consent, even to family, employers, or law enforcement.
What happens when you call? (general intake process)

Most treatment centers follow a 4-step intake: (1) confidential assessment — substance history, mental health, insurance, preferences (protected by 42 CFR Part 2); (2) insurance verification — facility contacts your plan to confirm coverage and out-of-pocket costs; (3) level-of-care recommendation — clinical staff match you to detox, residential, PHP, IOP, or outpatient based on severity; (4) admission typically within 24–48 hours. Timing varies by facility and bed availability.
