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.
