Pasadena Villa
Alum Program
At Pasadena Villa Smoky Mountain Lodge, treatment extends beyond formal programming — because continued support is essential for lasting recovery and well-being. Our Alum Program offers various resources and opportunities for connection and community as they navigate recovery and life after treatment.

The Three C's
Our Alum Program is designed to provide ongoing support and connection for individuals and their families after treatment, fostering a sense of community and empowering long-term recovery. At its core are our Three Cs:

We create meaningful connections between alums, their families, and our supportive communities, ensuring no one walks the journey of recovery alone.
2.
Commit.
Our team is dedicated to offering unwavering guidance and support, helping alumni and their loved ones stay focused on lasting healing.
3.
Cultivate.
Together, we nurture strong, empowering communities that inspire growth, resilience, and lifelong recovery.
