Cumberland Heights Chattanooga

Cumberland Heights Chattanooga has offered addiction treatment in Tennessee since 1966. The Chattanooga location specializes in outpatient care, including an intensive outpatient program (IOP) that meets Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday evenings. It follows a Twelve Step model while using evidence-based practices to support adults with alcohol and drug use disorders, as well as mental health needs alongside substance use. One of 325 SAMHSA-listed Tennessee rehabs and outpatient centers.

The center's approach is personalized, mixing individual and group counseling, family therapy, and experiential activities like art and adventure therapy. While a Joint Commission-accredited center provides quality care, then asking about its standards helps you understand the program. As a nonprofit, Cumberland Heights Chattanooga also offers continuing care and recovery coaching after the intensive phase.

Therapies and programs at the center

The core service is an intensive outpatient program (IOP) for adults who want structure and still live at home. IOP generally involves a number of therapy hours weekly, and at the Chattanooga site sessions take place Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, 6 PM to 9 PM. This Tennessee outpatient program offers evidence-based addiction treatment to adults in Chattanooga. Methods include Twelve Step facilitation, cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and dialectical behavior therapy, and medication-assisted treatment can be part of a comprehensive plan.

Beyond the core IOP, the center provides individual and group counseling, family counseling, and assessments. Experiential offerings include adventure therapy, art therapy, music therapy, recreational therapy, mindfulness and meditation, spiritual care, and yoga. For anyone who needs alcohol and drug rehab in Tennessee, then a referral from this center opens options. Should a higher level of care be needed, Cumberland Heights runs a residential program and 12-step immersion retreats elsewhere in the state, and the Chattanooga team can assist with referrals.

What treatment there looks like

Because Cumberland Heights Chattanooga is an outpatient facility, participants stay at home or in supportive housing and come in for scheduled sessions.

How to pay for center treatment

Cumberland Heights Chattanooga takes most major insurance plans, and self-pay is available for those without coverage. If you want to confirm coverage for drug rehab in Tennessee, then call the helpline to check your benefits. Being a nonprofit, the center may provide financial assistance or a sliding scale, but you should call and ask. Checking insurance is an important step: before starting, reach out to the center to verify your benefits and any out-of-pocket costs. The helpline can also help you explore coverage and availability here or at other centers in Tennessee. Tennessee's Medicaid program may cover some outpatient treatment, so it is worth asking if the center accepts Medicaid.
