About Cumberland Heights
Cumberland Heights provides residential treatment on two campus locations near Nashville, Tennessee: 177 acres designated for adults and 67 acres for adolescents. The center offers programs separated by gender and age to support recovery from alcohol and substance use disorders, including clients with co-occurring mental health conditions.
