Pasadena Villa: Smoky Mountain Lodge

Smoky Mountain Lodge, situated just outside of Smoky Mountain National Park, offers treatments for adults who suffer from cognitive and mental health disorders such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, personality disorders, Asperger’s Syndrome, and autism spectrum disorders. The facility incorporates the Social Integration Model to help clients succeed in daily life activities and provides therapy, such as CBT and DBT, family dynamics, specialized groups, and life skills. The Lodge also offers animal-assisted therapy, art therapy, adventure therapy, career counseling, and equine therapy. The 29-bedroom estate is complete with a stone fireplace, hardwood flooring, and Italian-designed bathrooms, with meals served in a banquet hall. Clients partake in group therapy while dining together, and can enjoy activities such as hiking, rock climbing, shopping, and movie-going, all under the supervision of staff. Smoky Mountain Lodge is accredited by the Joint Commission and accepts most private insurance. All this, combined with a caring staff and a gorgeous facility, provide a perfect setting for recovery.
