Pasadena Villa Psychiatric Residential Treatment Centers Smoky Mountain Lodge

I went to SML and was impressed by how loving and supportive all the staff were! I’m so glad I chose to come to SML! It’s really is a great environment to get better in! I loved the views and just the facility it’s self! I definitely would recommend going to Pasadena Villa! It helped me so much! I loved how all the staff really cared about everyone!

Pasadena Villa saved my life. I am forever indebted to this place and the amazing staff. My stay was comfortable, the food was some of the best that I’ve ever had and all of therapists, nurses, psych techs, and utilities were available 24/7 day and night. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better community in my healing and recovery. I wish that I could take these people with me in the future wherever I go! Friends for life! ⛰️

I spent most of September at the Lodge and most of October in the PHP program. I had never done an inpatient treatment program or been away from my family so long. I was so scared but I knew I needed help and I was ready to take my healing seriously. It's so hard for me articulate my experience, but I'll do my best. Overall, going to the Lodge and PHP was equally the most challenging and most rewarding thing I've ever done. The location was absolutely beautiful. I rediscovered how much I love being outside. The food was incredible. The tech staff gave so much support, care, and even friendship. The recreational therapists are fantastic and taught me how to have fun again. My residential therapist, Maddison, was phenomenal. She walked me through my heavy stuff. And Patrick, my therapist at PHP, knew just how far to push me in order to prepare me for going home. If you're needing somewhere that can give you a safe space for healing and growing, I highly recommend Pasadena Villa, Smokey Mountain Lodge. If you're ready to do the hard work, it will be so worth it. My time there gave me my life back. And I will cherish what I learned and the memories I made for a lifetime.

I had an absolutely amazing experience at Smoky Mountain Lodge. The techs were very helpful, especially David who always made himself available to patients when they needed help or to talk. The therapists were all kind and helpful as well. My therapist Alexis helped me with a lot of trauma work and therapist/group facilitator Sara made groups so fun and engaging. The facility itself is very nice and clean. The food was amazing. I’m very thankful to say that I left this facility far better than when I came in. This was not my first time in a residential treatment center, but it was definitely the best one I’ve been to in terms of groups, professionalism of staff, and structure. I 100% recommend this facility to anyone seeking mental health treatment! Livvy H

My daughter received excellent treatment at SML. She loved the group therapy sessions and the variety provided in these sessions. She always felt she was making progress with her struggles to cope with life. She loved the food served and the ability for substitutions when she didn't like the planned meal. She released with a much better understanding of her condition and tools to help her in her daily life. Control of medications and changes with medications were all handled very well. She liked that all therapies and activities occurred in one facility so that residents were not transported to and from. The seclusion and natural beauty of the surrounding area were very peaceful.
