Since 1966, Cumberland Heights has been transforming lives as a nationally recognized treatment center in Tennessee. We pride ourselves on being a treatment center steeped in tradition while also offering the highest quality of care. The America’s Best Addiction Treatment Centers ranking highlights the nation’s top facilities based on quality of service, reputation, and accreditation relative to in-state competition. Facilities in the 25 states with the highest number of addiction treatment centers, according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), were included in the survey to determine the Best Addiction Treatment Center in Tennessee. The evaluation process was comprised of three steps:
Nationwide Survey
Over 4,000 medical professionals (therapists, counselors, medical doctors) and managers/administrators who work in addiction treatment facilities were invited to an online survey. Participants were asked to recommend notable addiction treatment centers in their respective states. The professional experience of the participants was considered and recommendations for each professional’s employer were not allowed.
Quality Score
Participants were asked to rank the quality dimensions which influence the quality of rehabilitation facilities, including quality of care, quality of follow-up care, quality of service, and accommodation and amenities.
Accreditation Score
Accreditation data on addiction treatment centers provided by The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). Nine types of accreditations were considered from accrediting bodies such as the State Substance Abuse Agency, the State Mental Health Department, the State Department of Health, and more.
