About Pasadena Villa Psychiatric Residential Treatment Centers Smoky Mountain Lodge
Pasadena Villa – Smoky Mountain Lodge is a residential treatment center for adults over 18. It’s located in the Smoky Mountains in Sevierville, Tennessee. The facility emphasizes treating psychiatric conditions and treats substance use as a co-occurring disorder.
The facility is accredited through the Joint Commission and is also PsychArmor Certified as a Veteran Ready Healthcare Organization. They also work with autistic adults. They’re in-network with many major health insurers.
The Lodge offers residential treatment, a partial hospitalization program (PHP), and an intensive outpatient program (IOP). The residential treatment program is an inpatient program with staff available 24/7. The staff uses the Social Integration Model of treatment. This consists of putting patients in constant real life situations so they can intervene quickly when necessary.
You’ll have an opportunity to volunteer or even have employment while getting treatment. The primary therapy is group therapy, but you’ll also have individual therapy. They offer many other different types of therapy, too, such as traditional cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). You’ll also participate in experiential and family therapy. There’s an animal assisted therapy program as well.
There’s an emphasis on fresh, high quality, nutritious food because nutrition has a direct impact on health and wellbeing. Meals are also used as a time to build community.
The PHP is also a structured intensive treatment program, but you can live at home or in their onsite housing which is gender specific. You’ll have therapy and treatment seven days a week, but you’ll have more space to deal with personal responsibilities. After finishing the PHP, you can transition to the IOP which offers even more independence but still offers a level of support.
Former clients called the views “stunning” and mentioned that the facility was beautiful and clean and the food was amazing. Several clients cited the “amazing” staff and “wonderful” therapists.

this place changed my life. I wasn t even aware that a place like this existed. This was my first time in residential treatment and I was so nervous because I do get nervous and social situations and going to a whole new state freaked me out too but the staff, nurses and therapists were so friendly and welcoming that it wasn t long that I felt right at home.Through going to groups, walking around the beautiful campus, and going to animal therapy, I was able to reconnect with myself. There are a lot of groups throughout the day about various helpful topics.The food is so good and they serve a variety of different cuisines. However, if you don t like with their serving that night, you can put in a form to get a substitution meal which are just as good.They have a community meeting every week where you can voice your concerns. And they really do listen to you. Most of them who lead the meeting, take notes and follow up. They really do care about the patients there.Martina, one of the patient advocates, is absolutely amazing at what she does. there is not even words to describe how great she is. If you have any concerns, she will do everything in her power to help you and really advocate for you.overall, this place is such a beautiful, serene location to just be present, work on your mental health and meet some great people along the way. I would recommend going here to anyone.

Thank you for your 5-star review!
I had a phenomenal experience at Pasadena Villa. It was an awaken from a dark place with a lot of work. I want to thank the staff that were there to support me along the way. Lucinda my therapist was my rock. She uncovered and helped me come a long way. The Techs were great...Kellan, Cody, Ty, Sam, David, Stephanie, Heidi, Tabitha, Savannah, Amy....I want to thank Client Services Martina and Emily. I want to say thank you to the nurses for their hard work. To Jessica and Hannah yall are awesome as well. The therapists that runs groups and are there for support are not forgotten. We wouldn't be where we are without yall, especially Ed. The experience clinically was one that helped me learn coping skills and life skills out of the facility. The real therapy happens in the milieu with sessions by the fire. We are truly one big family. It takes a Villa to get to a better place.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Outpatient Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
Inpatient Inpatient rehabs are designed principally for clients who require intensive supervision and support, including clients who have just completed detox, clients in early recovery, and clients at an elevated risk of relapse. Inpatient treatment helps clients stabilize following detox and prepares them to step-down into outpatient and/or community-based care. Clients reside at the facility for the duration of their program and engage in extensive addiction counseling and education. Many programs also offer evidence-based complementary therapies.
Aftercare Support Clients receiving support in a rehab aftercare program typically have abstained from drugs or alcohol for a period of weeks or months and have completed high-level (often inpatient) treatment. Drug rehab aftercare is designed to support clients in maintaining their sobriety as they re-engage with their ordinary lives at home, in the workplace, and in the community. Services are highly individualized and evolve with clients' changing needs, but generally include peer coaching and relapse prevention.
24-Hour Clinical Care Safe detox requires 24-hour clinical care in Tennessee. This is due to the health risks that are involved during withdrawal. As the brain reacts to the absence of the drug, severe symptoms can occur, depending on the type of drug used. For instance, alcohol and benzodiazepine withdrawal may result in seizures. Fortunately, supervised care in a clinical setting can provide the necessary treatment to avoid health risks and allow you to complete detox safely.
Treatments
Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.
Mental Health Treatment Centers focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.
Programs
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
LGBTQ Program
Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.
Clinical Services
A Therapeutic Group that educates residents on how to recognize ways in which their thoughts and feelings affect their behaviors. Participants also learn specific techniques and engage in role play activities to solidify their knowledge and practice of said techniques.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.
Equine therapy, aka equine-assisted therapy (EAT), is a form of experiential therapy that involves interactions and activities with horses. It does not necessarily involve riding horses, but all activities related to horses, such as feeding, grooming, haltering and leading them. A mental health professional frequently oversees the activities (often in conjunction with a horse professional), and helps patients process their thoughts, feelings, and behavior patterns during and/or after the interaction.
Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.
A therapeutic group that addresses family relationships and promotes positive, healthy communication. Group discussions include family conflict and problem-solving, codependency, family roles, and healthy boundaries. Group members can identify and process feelings about family dysfunction and issues of grief and loss..
Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.
Recreational therapy supports addiction recovery by giving you structured activities that promote physical and mental health. These help build a supportive network of your peers that promotes sobriety. Activities can include sports, creative arts, and outdoor adventures that help you reduce cravings, manage stress, and give you an emotional outlet.
