Cumberland Heights - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers

They provide inpatient residential, outpatient, telemedicine and detox. The nearest alternative is in Kingston Springs, 8.5 miles away, if you want something to compare it against.

They detox from opioids, alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine and methamphetamines. Coming off opioids without medical supervision can be dangerous, which is why it matters that this is one of 4 places near Nashville that do it.

They offer treatment in Sign language. Whether that means a counselor who speaks it or an interpreter is worth asking, and Nashville has 8 other centers to ask.

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 8 centers near Nashville, not all of them do.

There are 8 more within a short drive of Nashville, so this does not have to be the only call you make.

Court ordered and voluntary treatment are the same programs, with different paperwork around them. The court usually specifies a level of care or a number of hours, and that narrows which programs qualify. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can look for programs that take referrals in TN.

The difference is where you sleep. Inpatient means you stay at the center, outpatient means you travel in for sessions. Outpatient care is a fraction of the cost and is the level most people are treated at. Ask whether a center can carry out an assessment first rather than selling you a program.

The useful question is not whether a plan covers treatment but which level of care it will approve. An in network center costs less, and network lists go out of date, so it is worth verifying rather than trusting the list. Ask what the rate becomes if the plan stops approving days before the program ends.
