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.

What Sets Cumberland Heights Apart

Personalized Care

Every patient’s story is unique, and so is their recovery. Our expert clinical teams create individualized treatment plans that address the underlying causes of addiction, including co-occurring mental health disorders such as anxiety, depression, and PTSD.

Comprehensive Continuum of Care

We offer a full range of services, including inpatient and outpatient programs, gender-specific care, family therapy, adolescent treatment for teen boys and girls (ages 14–18), and 12-Step living programs.

High-Quality, Affordable Treatment

As a non-profit organization, we’re committed to making recovery accessible to everyone. Cumberland Heights is in-network with most insurance providers, and our financial counselors work closely with families to ensure finances never stand in the way of healing.

A Legacy of Healing

A Tradition of Excellence

Cumberland Heights proudly maintains The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval and was the first addiction treatment center in Tennessee to receive ASAM certification. These designations reflect our unwavering dedication to clinical quality and patient safety.

Since Newsweek began its rankings in 2020, Cumberland Heights has consistently held the title of #1 Best Addiction Treatment Center in Tennessee—a testament to the expertise, passion, and compassion of our entire team.
