Pasadena Villa Psychiatric Residential Treatment Centers Smoky Mountain Lodge

I came to Pasadena Villa Smoky Mountain Lodge for treatment for bipolar disorder, and my experience has been very positive. The staff have been incredibly accommodating and supportive of my needs throughout my stay. I also stepped down into their PHP program, which has been very beneficial for continuing progress and structure. The medication management here was excellent. My medications were monitored and adjusted weekly until we found the right balance, which made a big difference for me. Another thing I appreciated is that the lodge doesn’t feel like a hospital environment at all, which made the whole experience much more comfortable and less stressful. Most importantly, Pasadena Villa helped me learn coping skills that actually work for me. They also helped me understand my personal triggers and warning signs for bipolar, along with education on foods and drinks that can support better mental health. Overall, it has been a very helpful and supportive place for recovery.

I recently stayed at PS SML for 45 days. Overall, the stay was wonderful. I can genuinely say that the staff cares about the clients. You are not just a number at this facility. Lexi and Lucinda are exceptional therapists. Also the techs, David, Cody, Ty, Samantha, Olivia, and Kellen, were absolutely wonderful and always willing to listen and accommodating to my individual needs. Heidi, Amy, Cherina, were great as well. Lastly, the food was AMAZING! My hats off to the culinary team! I would highly recommend this facility if you have insurance, however it is pricey for private pay clients, so please take that into consideration.

My experience at Smokey Mountain Lodge has been outstanding. My therapist, Deanna, provided excellent care and was highly attentive, supportive, and skilled in guiding my treatment. The meals consistently exceeded my expectations, with food that felt closer to restaurant quality than standard cafeteria fare. All staff members were professional, compassionate, and easy to work with, creating a safe and encouraging environment. I am confident enough in the quality of care that I am planning for my son to receive treatment there as well, and I highly recommend Smokey Mountain Lodge.

Well at first I was a mess and couldn’t regulate my emotions and life was tough but with the help of the GREAT staff and the GREAT people of Pasadena Villa helped me to not only help me be stable and get my meds and self regulated it was and experience of a life time I will not soon forget. We had our ups and downs but ultimately it was and EXCELLENT experience that I will NEVER FORGET!!! I give this place a 5 star review because it completely changed my life on my out look and I would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone going through a tough time and needs to reset my your buttons!! I give is a 10 out of 10

I have been to three other residential treatment centers and I can say without a doubt that Smoky Mountain Lodge was by far the best I’ve experienced. The support was phenomenal, from nurses, techs (shout out to Olivia, David and Stephanie) to therapists (shout out to Lexi, my therapist) to the aftercare team (shout out to Rebecca and Buffy) and culinary team! I experienced some significant struggles while here and learned a lot about myself and about ways to deal and cope with my mental health. Even in the struggles, I felt 100% taken care of and like staff had my best interest at heart. If I am ever in the position to need this level of care again, I will without a doubt, come back to The Lodge.
