Adolescent Care
Providing a Safe, Comfortable Space for Your Teen
Young people can face unique pressures from managing responsibilities to fitting in and exploring independence. In today’s digital age, these challenges are amplified by social media, making it easy for teens to fall into unhealthy behaviors like drug and alcohol abuse. At Cumberland Heights, our team knows what to look for and can help you determine the right next step for your teen. Whatever your family is facing, we’re here to help.

Adolescent Therapeutic Treatment
ARCH Academy (Adolescent Recovery of Cumberland Heights) is an adolescent treatment program for teens located in Tennessee. The developing brains of teenagers are more susceptible to alcohol and drugs than those of adults. Our team of adolescent specialists understand the normal growth and development of teens, as well as how alcohol and drug use impacts this. We also understand that though substance abuse may be the catalyst for seeking treatment, there are common underlying mental health issues and stressors that need to be addressed once the brain starts to heal and the teen has been free from substances.
Adolescents who struggle with drug and alcohol abuse need engaging treatment that will resonate with them. We want to empower young people to say no to drugs and alcohol with confidence, and to find happiness and fulfillment in healthier activities. With their whole lives ahead of them, it’s important for this demographic to heal after substance abuse and addiction and to understand that they don’t need to rely on these substances to have fun, look cool, or fit in. To address the specific needs of teens, Cumberland Heights offers a programming to boys and girls across two locations – our Ridgeview and Harpeth campuses.
