More About Us
Our History
Pavillon’s roots trace back to Val David, Quebec, founded by Gilles and Liliane Desjardins. Gilles, a Certified Clinical Addiction Specialist, and Liliane developed the Desjardins Unified Model of Addiction Treatment, which shaped our holistic approach to care.
After more than two decades of helping individuals find freedom from addiction, Pavillon relocated to the U.S. to better serve its growing number of American patients. Tom Edwards, a former patient who discovered his path to recovery at Pavillon, played a key role in making the move possible. Alongside Liliane, he helped select the perfect location in the peaceful Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, an environment designed to support deep healing and transformation.
While our facilities, treatment programs, and reach have grown, Pavillion’s heart has remained unchanged.
