Cumberland Heights is proud to announce that we have once again been recognized by Newsweek as one of America’s Best Addiction Treatment Centers—and named the #1 Addiction Treatment Center in Tennessee for the fifth consecutive year.
Since opening our doors in 1966, Cumberland Heights has been transforming lives through compassionate, evidence-based addiction treatment. This recognition reaffirms our long-standing commitment to clinical excellence, innovation, and healing for individuals and families affected by substance use disorders.
About the Ranking
Newsweek’s annual America’s Best Addiction Treatment Centers list highlights the nation’s top facilities based on quality of care, reputation, and accreditation within each state. The evaluation process, conducted in partnership with Statista, includes:
- Nationwide Survey: More than 4,000 medical professionals, including therapists, counselors, and physicians, were asked to recommend top addiction treatment centers in their states.
- Quality Scoring: Facilities were rated on several quality dimensions, including care, follow-up support, service, accommodations, and amenities.
- Accreditation Review: Accreditation data provided by SAMHSA was reviewed, considering state and national certification from leading agencies.
This rigorous process ensures that only the highest-quality treatment centers receive national recognition.
