About
Cumberland Heights offers a comprehensive outpatient program rooted in the 12-step philosophy for adults grappling with alcohol and substance use challenges. With 15 outpatient locations throughout Tennessee, alongside two immersive 12-step retreats and a residential center, this organization has been serving the community since its establishment in 1966. As a non-profit, Cumberland Heights prioritizes individualized care, tailoring treatment plans to suit the specific requirements of each client. The center provides intensive outpatient (IOP) services that cater to diverse schedules and individual needs.
Utilizing evidence-based methodologies, Cumberland Heights enhances treatment efficacy through approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing (MI), medication-assisted treatment (MAT), and 12-step facilitation. Furthermore, they incorporate experiential therapies, offering a holistic healing experience with options like adventure therapy, art therapy, relapse prevention, music therapy, recreational therapy, mindfulness practices, spiritual care, and yoga. Their services encompass both individual and group counseling, family counseling, assessments, and Telehealth appointments.
Cumberland Heights holds the distinction of being the first in Tennessee to obtain certification from the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM), asserting its reputation as a leader in addiction treatment nationally. The facility is also accredited by the Joint Commission and works with most major insurance providers, offering competitive self-pay options to enhance accessibility to care. In Chattanooga, individual intensive outpatient sessions are available on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday evenings from 6 PM to 9 PM, with family IOP services scheduled on Tuesday nights during the same hours.
