An Outpatient Recovery Center or ORC, combines the core components of full-time treatment with the flexibility of part-time scheduling. IOP participants attend regular therapy and treatment sessions at an outpatient facility, typically for a few hours per day, three to five days per week. Outside of their treatment hours, they are free to attend work or school, be with their family or pursue sober hobbies. These programs are often most appropriate for two types of patients: those whose addictions are not acute enough to require residential treatment, and those whose lifestyles prevent them from attending full-time care. At Cumberland Heights, our downtown Nashville IOP is designed for people whose needs and schedules vary. We work with every client to create an individualized recovery plan that treats the whole person, not just the addiction.

Prior to enrollment in our program, all patients complete the admissions process and go through a short orientation session, including a review of patient expectations, safety guidelines, and program components. During treatment, each patient works closely with their counselor/case manager in setting personal treatment goals and developing a custom treatment plan. The counselor coordinates and collaborates with referrals for any ancillary health, vocational or psychological needs the patient may have.

Our downtown Nashville, Music Row ORC is structured to include individual counseling, experiential learning groups, family education groups and group counseling. A range of topics will be discussed in treatment including, but not limited to, medical aspects of addiction, disease progression, family disease, spirituality, recovery tools and relapse prevention. Patients are oriented to the 12 Steps of Alcoholics/Narcotics Anonymous, and participation in local 12-Step support groups is required to complement and reinforce our programming. For patients with close family members, we strongly recommend participation our family program, which helps ensure a healthy sober home life and offers support for family members who have struggled to understand their loved one’s disease.

We ensure our patients’ compliance with abstinence for the duration of our outpatient program through random urine drug screens. A patient’s length of stay is usually 28 sessions, but this can be variable based upon the patient’s clinical needs and progress. Continuing care services, including onsite aftercare groups, are coordinated onsite for patients after completing the program.

Our office location is conveniently located in the heart of Music Row downtown Nashville at 1619 17th Avenue S, Nashville, Tennessee, 37212.
