Cumberland Heights’ 170 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. Forty 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 40 years ago, Cumberland Heights has touched the lives of more than 200,000 individuals in recovery – and over 10,000 last year alone. Four decades of experience has taught us that recovery is not only possible, it’s a path that no one has to walk alone. Our staff is committed to providing the highest quality care possible. Our treatment programs encompass the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual dimensions of recovery through professional excellence, the principles of the Twelve Steps, and a safe, loving environment.
We welcome the least, the last, and the lost; we address their immediate needs; we build authentic relationships; and we share the Gospel so that total transformation happens. The grace of Christ is an amazing gift to be shared with everyone. We dedicate our lives to the homeless and the poor, and we know that God provides complete life change to those who place their trust in Him. Our holistic approach addresses the needs of the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. We work in collaboration with those who are passionate about bringing permanent solutions to the crisis of homelessness.
