Find the Help You Need
Some struggles need more than a weekly appointment can offer. Trillium Wellness provides Nashville adults with residential mental health treatment in a small, 16-bed setting outside Knoxville, close enough to stay connected to home, far enough to truly step away.
When Outpatient Isn’t Enough
Nashville has no shortage of therapists and psychiatrists. But when symptoms keep returning, medications aren’t working, or daily life has started to come apart, weekly sessions may not provide enough structure or support.
Residential mental health treatment may be the right next step if you or a loved one:
If you or someone you love is in immediate danger, call 911 or the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. Our admissions team can help plan next steps once you’re safe.
Why Travel Across Tennessee?
Trillium sits in the quiet, rural foothills outside Knoxville, about three hours east of Nashville along I-40. For many Nashville families, that distance is part of what helps:
What We Offer
Trillium provides residential mental health treatment for adults navigating:
Our Approach
At Trillium, treatment follows three guiding principles: Restore, Reconnect, and Renew.
Restore: Clinical stabilization through individual and group therapy, psychiatric medication management, and brain mapping to guide individualized treatment planning.
Reconnect: Rebuilding connection to self, loved ones, and the natural world through nature therapy, animal-assisted therapy for trauma with a veteran-run therapy dog program, and experiential work.
Renew: Building resilience, coping tools, and a sense of purpose, with relapse prevention and aftercare planning that connects residents to ongoing support back in Nashville.
A Small Program, By Design
Large programs can feel like a conveyor belt. Trillium is deliberately different. With a maximum of 16 residents, our hands-on clinical director stays closely involved in every person’s care, and treatment plans reflect the individual, not just the diagnosis.
We are not gender-specific; we welcome adults of all genders.
Trillium does not provide medical detox on-site. If detox is needed, we coordinate with trusted partners to arrange a safe transition into our program once you’re medically stable.
Coming Home
Healing doesn’t end at discharge. Before you leave Trillium, our case management team helps build a plan for life back in Nashville, which may include step-down care, outpatient therapy, psychiatric follow-up, and support for family members.
