Solstice House is a sixteen-bed residential treatment program for women in Reading, Massachusetts, that specializes in caring for those whose substance use is accompanied by co-occurring disorders. Operated by Riverbend, a Greater Lowell nonprofit formerly known as Lowell House, the around-the-clock staffed home serves women aged eighteen and older who need support for both their addiction and more significant co-occurring needs. Its comprehensive approach is built to meet each resident where she is and to address the full scope of her recovery.
A Residential Program for Women with Co-Occurring Needs
Solstice House provides a safe, structured, and supportive setting for women whose recovery calls for attention to co-occurring disorders alongside substance use. The program is designed for residents who are stable enough upon admission to benefit from this level of care and who can engage in a structured, developmentally appropriate environment. Within this setting, the home works to address every aspect of recovery, helping women stabilize, build healthier patterns, and move toward greater independence at a pace that fits their needs.
Comprehensive Support Within Riverbend’s Continuum
A defining feature of Solstice House is its commitment to meeting residents where they are and tailoring support to each woman’s circumstances. Because the home is part of Riverbend’s broader continuum of evidence-based treatment and recovery services, residents have a pathway to additional care and step-down support as they progress. This combination of specialized co-occurring care and connection to a wider recovery network reflects the home’s goal of helping women achieve a stable, sustainable recovery.
