Here, clients get help for substance use and mental health challenges in a setting that feels safe and full of support. The program offers detox, residential, and extended care, giving people the time and space they need to rebuild their lives. With separate tracks for adults, young men, young women, and professionals, clients can connect with others who understand their experiences.

Each part of the program is designed to treat both substance use and underlying mental health conditions, giving clients the tools to feel more in control.
Start Fresh in a Place that Feels Safe
Just fifteen minutes from downtown Nashville, Cumberland Heights feels like its own little world. The campus is surrounded by green hills and quiet walking trails that make it easy to slow down and breathe. Clients can grab a meal with friends in the cafeteria or out on the patio, relax under the pergola, or unwind through music and art therapy.

Center Overview
Treatment Focus
This center treats substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions. Your treatment plan addresses each condition at once with personalized, compassionate care for comprehensive healing.
Joint Commission Accredited
The Joint Commission accreditation is a voluntary, objective process that evaluates and accredits healthcare organizations (like treatment centers) based on performance standards designed to improve quality and safety for patients. To be accredited means the treatment center has been found to meet the Commission's standards for quality and safety in patient care.
Supportive Medication for Recovery
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is an evidence-based approach that pairs FDA-approved medications with counseling to treat addiction. The medications are used to reduce cravings, ease withdrawal symptoms, or block the effects of substances. More about MAT
Methadone
Methadone
Dolophine®, Methadose®
Methadone is a full opioid agonist, meaning it activates opioid receptors in the brain to produce effects like pain relief and euphoria. It is longer acting than many other opioids, making it useful in medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorder.
It reduces withdrawal symptoms and cravings by occupying opioid receptors without causing intense highs. Because it is a full agonist, it must be used carefully to avoid overdose, but it is highly effective when taken as prescribed within a structured program.
Naltrexone
Naltrexone
Vivitrol®, Revia®
Naltrexone is an opioid antagonist, meaning it blocks opioid receptors in the brain and prevents opioids from producing effects like euphoria or sedation. It is used to treat both opioid and alcohol use disorders, but does not cause physical dependence or withdrawal.
It helps reduce cravings and the rewarding effects of opioids or alcohol, supporting long-term recovery. Because it blocks opioid effects, it should only be started after a person has fully detoxed from opioids to avoid triggering withdrawal.
Buprenorphine
Buprenorphine
Suboxone®, Subutex®, Sublocade®, Zubsolv®
Buprenorphine is a partial opioid agonist used to treat opioid use disorder. It activates opioid receptors to reduce cravings and withdrawal but has a ceiling effect, meaning it produces less euphoria and respiratory depression than full opioids.
Buprenorphine binds tightly to opioid receptors, blocking other opioids from attaching and reducing the risk of misuse. It's often combined with naloxone (as in Suboxone®) to discourage injection misuse and is available in daily or monthly forms.
Note: Treatment centers offer different forms of MAT—such as oral tablets, dissolvable films, or monthly injections—and their policies can vary based on state regulations, provider preferences, and insurance coverage. Because of these differences, it's best to contact the center directly to learn what options are available and what might be right for your situation.
