About Us

Our clinical team delivers individualized, evidence-based treatment through our proprietary Social Integration Model™, pairing clinical excellence with real-world skill development to prepare each client for a confident, lasting return to everyday life.

Exceptional clinical care in a compassionate, healing environment.

Treatment at The Grove is built around our proprietary Social Integration Model™ — a clinically grounded framework that moves beyond symptom stabilization to develop the social, emotional, and functional skills clients need to thrive after discharge. Every treatment plan is individualized, combining evidence-based therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) with psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and family therapy.

The Grove Difference

The Social Integration Model™

Our proprietary Social Integration Model™ goes beyond symptom stabilization — equipping clients with the social, emotional, and functional skills needed to sustain recovery in everyday life. It’s not just treatment. It’s preparation for what comes next.

Individualized Clinical Care

No two clients are alike. At Smoky Mountain Lodge, every treatment plan is built around each individual’s history, diagnosis, and goals — combining psychiatric evaluation, evidence-based therapies, and ongoing clinical assessment to drive meaningful, measurable progress.

“The Grove was our last resort after trying almost every other option to treat my wife’s chronic depression and anxiety. They gave her plenty of one-on-one attention and left her with plenty of coping mechanisms for day-to-day life. My wife went in with no hope, and came out 30 days later with a whole new perspective, skills, and is thriving in life.”
