About Pasadena Villa Psychiatric Residential Treatment Centers Smoky Mountain Lodge

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.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this mental health facility nestled at the foothills of the Smoky Mountains. The environment itself is peaceful and healing, providing the perfect backdrop for recovery and self-growth. The staff here truly stands out — they are caring, friendly, patient, and genuinely supportive. You can feel that they are passionate about helping each person who walks through their doors. They treat you with respect, compassion, and understanding, and they go above and beyond to make sure you feel safe, welcomed, and valued during every step of your journey. If you or someone you love is looking for a place to find help, hope, and a fresh start, I would highly recommend this facility. They don’t just offer treatment — they offer encouragement, motivation, and a path toward a better and healthier future.

Going to SML was a positive experience for my 22 year old adult child. It provided the structure, quality care, and tools she needs to make better life choices. A beautiful and restorative setting along with good food were very healing for her. Extras like weekly animal therapy gave her something to look forward to. She was in the residential program followed by partial hospitalization for a total of two months this summer. I highly recommend SML!

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

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 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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Nothing like advertised

Very disappointed in this place. They do a great job selling you on it over the phone but it is nothing like the website says. Way too much free time and the family program is terrible.
