I am incredibly grateful for Soledad and everyone there. From day one, they have been so accommodating and attentive to my individual needs. The therapists are truly next level and have helped me experience breakthroughs I never thought were possible. For the first time in a long time, I genuinely feel like I’m progressing in life, and things that once felt impossible are finally coming to fruition. In addition to the wonderful staff and amazing women there, the treatment and aftercare houses are the most beautiful and comfortable facilities I’ve experienced — which says a lot. I was initially hesitant about attending an all-women’s facility, but it ended up being one of the best decisions of my life. If you’re unsure about coming, I strongly encourage you to give it a try. If you do make the commitment, I highly recommend participating in their aftercare program as well. Their aftercare houses are affordable, supportive, and provide the extra stability needed to truly jump-start your life and create meaningful, lasting memories (shoutout to Miss Nitra!).

I walked in scared and unsure, and I walked out with lifelong friends, a stronger sense of self, and a support system I never expected to find. The staff at Soledad truly care. Neetra and Michelle were absolutely amazing—supportive, patient, and always there when I needed someone to talk to or a simple reminder that I wasn’t alone. They treated all of us like actual human beings, not just clients passing through. And Mary… I don’t even have enough words. She is the best therapist I could have ever asked for. She understood me, challenged me, and helped me grow in ways I didn’t know were possible. She played such a huge part in my healing, and I’m forever grateful for her. If you are thinking about joining Soledad, just know that you’ll be walking into a place filled with real compassion, genuine connection, and people who want nothing more than to see you succeed. This program changed my life—and I would recommend it to anyone who needs a safe place to heal and start again. chloe redden2025-11-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

The staff are amazing, the program is perfect, and the counselors are well informed and educated. I felt very heard, and cared for. Taylor McCormick2025-08-06Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was my first time getting sober, and after battling a 7-year addiction, I was ready for a change—but I had no idea what to expect from a treatment center. I was scared and unsure. From the moment I arrived at Soledad House, the staff welcomed me with warmth and compassion. On my first day, the administration helped calm my fears and made me feel safe and supported enough to begin my recovery journey. What truly sets Soledad House apart is that they don’t just focus on substance abuse—they focus on rebuilding self-worth, which was something I didn’t even realize I needed. The care here is deeply personal and intentional. Today, I’m 9 months sober and proud to be an employee at Soledad House. I’ve learned to love myself again and have gained valuable tools for how to navigate life and handle challenges in a healthy way. The therapists and staff—especially Lauren, Sara, Ashlee, Neetra, and Michelle—are truly a godsend. They genuinely care, and it shows in everything they do. I can’t say enough good things about Soledad House—it changed my life Natalie Cyr2025-07-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Life skills training can help you improve your life in recovery. What do you learn in life skills training for women? During sessions in a life skills program, you’ll hone essential skills that you’ll use to build a healthier, happier, and more productive life. Some of the topics that you might cover in our life skills program include:
Participating in a motivation and life skills coaching program can help you be better prepared for life after rehab.
Life skills training helps you learn to handle your daily responsibilities. In recovery, you’ll no longer be held back by drug and alcohol use. Instead, with the proper life skills, you’ll be able to manage your daily responsibilities in healthy ways.
Part of this responsibility includes developing a healthy routine. Having a routine helps you stay balanced and on top of your goals while keeping you from going back to old patterns. Your new routine might include activities like attending support meetings, going to therapy, eating well, enjoying physical activities, and going to bed on time. You’ll also learn to wake up at a healthy time to start your productive routine over again.
One important life skill is financial stability. Addiction can make it difficult to maintain employment. However, in recovery, you’ll need to find a steady source of income and manage your money well. We’ll help you learn essential budgeting skills so you can set yourself up for stability. You’ll learn about taking responsibility for your living space and how to keep it clean and organized.
Nutrition and personal hygiene also play a big role in recovery. While addiction can take a physical toll, in recovery you’ll become your healthiest self. Through a life skills program, you’ll rebuild a healthy body and mind that is able to take on life’s challenges. Managing your medications and taking them as directed is also part of life skills training
You’ll also build stronger relationships by controlling your emotions, being more self-aware, engaging in conversation, and communicating effectively.
