Cumberland Heights

Cumberland Heights’ 177- acre campus is located along the banks of the Cumberland River in Nashville, Tennessee. Surrounded by wooded hills and free of the distractions of city life, it provides the ideal setting for recovery.

Fifty years ago, chemical dependency was widely believed to be a moral weakness. This belief created a social stigma that prevented millions from reaching out for help. Today we understand that addiction is not caused by moral weakness or a lack of personal character – it is a medical disease over which the addict has no control. As with other diseases, without help the outcome is often tragic.

Fortunately, there is help. Since we opened our doors 50+ years ago, Cumberland Heights has touched the lives of thousands. With 14 locations and more than 400 employees, our team is dedicated to serving the many individuals and families struggling with substance abuse. Five decades of experience has taught us that recovery is not only possible, it’s a path that no one has to walk alone.

Our treatment programs encompass the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual dimensions of recovery through professional excellence, the principles of the 12-Steps and a safe, loving environment.
As you learn about Cumberland Heights, our treatment offerings and recovery programs, you’ll learn alcohol & drug addiction is a chronic, progressive and potentially fatal disease if left untreated. With our treatment at Cumberland Heights we provide the highest quality of care for adults, adolescents and families who suffer from or are affected by this disease.
Cumberland Heights’ co-founders, Robert Crichton, Sr. and Dr. Thomas Frist, Sr., had a clear vision for a treatment center, “We want to have a location and a program which will enable a man to go back to the primary meanings of his life so he can start over again.”
