Solstice RTC

What Solstice RTC does

Solstice RTC (operating as Solstice West) is a privately held, for-profit residential treatment center headquartered at 1904 W. Gordon Avenue, Layton, Utah, serving adolescent girls and assigned-female-at-birth youth ages 12-18 who present with trauma, attachment disruption, emotional dysregulation, substance use, and process addictions. The program operates from a 22-bed, 2.5-acre gated campus of approximately 24,000 square feet, with a deliberately small therapist caseload of six students per clinician, class sizes averaging six (maximum twelve), and 6+ hours of weekly group therapy alongside 1–2 hours of individual therapy and weekly family therapy. Academic instruction is delivered through Fernwood Academy, a Cognia-accredited college-preparatory school operating year-round in five 9.5-week terms, with academic credits recognized for transfer by California and Washington State.

The clinical model is organized around two proprietary constructs: the EnRICH method, which measures growth across Relationships, Influence, Character, and Health domains, and the Believe. Begin. Become. developmental framework (Believe/begin/become stages), supplemented by evidence-based modalities including DBT, CBT, EMDR, Brainspotting, NARM, and Somatic Experiencing, plus Trauma-Focused Equine Assisted Psychotherapy in partnership with Utah State University and adventure therapy including overnight trips to Utah's national parks. The center holds Utah Department of Human Services licensure, CARF accreditation, and Cognia accreditation.

Solstice was founded over a decade ago and operated independently until June 2026, when it was acquired by EOSIS, a Minnesota-based behavioral health organization, and is now part of the EOSIS Utah platform alongside Elevations RTC, Seven Stars, The Approach, and ViewPoint Center; each program retains its own clinical model and operations. Revenue is generated through private-pay and insurance-reimbursed residential treatment fees with quote-based, customized pricing; financial figures are not publicly disclosed, and the company employs 101–250 staff.
