Solstice East Offers More Than Other Programs for Troubled Teens for Teens From New Mexico
Our program is one of the best programs for troubled teens from New Mexico because it’s specifically created for young women between 14 and 18 years old. Every age group and gender is specific in its needs and we recognized that when we developed our program. The more specific the group, the more likely is that the program will fit perfectly to every student we admit. This is just one reason that makes us different from other programs for troubled teens.
Solstice East helps teens working to overcome challenges, however we do not consider our teens “troubled”. We are only using that terminology here because of its common use. Students who attend Solstice East are not “troubled”, they are fully capable of overcoming the difficulties they face and are valued as community members. It’s important to us for students to believe in themselves and continue their journey towards personal growth and success.
For us, every girl is a hero, so we designed a Hero’s Journey on which every student we admit has to embark in order to find true happiness, get rid of problematic behavior, recover from a personal loss, or repair damaged family relations. As each phase of Hero’s Journey is successfully finished, more and more complex tasks are given to each student, which ultimately leads to healthy mind and soul. But we don’t forget the importance of body, either, as we make sure that our students work out regularly and eat healthily.
Through several different kinds of therapies that offer support and encouragement, students can find their peace and learn to get along with their families and other people.
Although Solstice East is located in North Carolina and not New Mexico, we help teens from across the country.
The personal approach and expertise are what makes Solstice East one of the most effective programs for troubled teens from New Mexico.

What Makes This Program Different From Other Programs for Troubled Teens from New Mexico?
One of the aspects of our program that differentiates us from other programs for troubled teens from New Mexico is our holistic approach. It’s no secret that, in order to be happy and fulfilled, your mind, soul, and body need to be taken care of. We brought this to a whole other level and designed our program to help our students work on improving every aspect of themselves, not just their specific challenge. 
When a student from New Mexico is admitted, her Hero’s Journey begins. We utilize the archetypal Hero’s Journey throughout our programming. The Hero’s Journey is divided into several phases, involving both students and parents.
The first part of the Hero’s Journey is known as the is orientation phase. During this phase, students familiarize themselves with Solstice East. The orientation phase is followed by more complex phases in which the student gets to truly know and understand her inner self and battle her challenges. Finally, in the atonement phase, a student is victorious and her journey has ended. The return phase is her transition back home.
On her journey, a student from New Mexico can count on numerous forms of support, such as individual and group therapies, experienced, hand-picked members of the staff, and her peers.
One of the most beneficial forms of therapy we offer is certainly our equine therapy programming. This form of therapy has been proven to positively impact New Mexico teens struggling with trauma and other emotional or behavioral challenges
