I’ve spent the past week in Nashville Tennessee at the Cumberland Heights’ Treatment Program conducting 40 hours of advanced certification clinical skills trainings in Denial Management and Relapse Prevention for their staff.  Cumberland was also generous enough to open these two 20 hour Competency Certification trainings to the outside treatment community and they attracted many people interested in learning how to help their clients get into recovery and prevent relapse.

Since they opened their doors almost 50 years ago, Cumberland Heights has touched the lives of more than 200,000 individuals. Their four decades of experience has taught them that recovery is not only possible; it’s a path that no one has to walk alone. All therapeutic interventions are based on the principles found in the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous.  In addition, Cumberland Heights treats the whole person as well as including the entire family in the recovery process, because addiction is a family disease.

The Cumberland treatment programs encompass the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual dimensions of recovery. And their professional medical and therapy staff are committed to providing the highest quality care possible. Most of their primary treatment staff have many years of personal recovery from addiction and all are state licensed alcohol and drug counselors.

Cumberland Heights’ 170-acre campus is located along the banks of the Cumberland River in Nashville, Tennessee.  Surrounded by wooded hills and free of the distractions of city life, it provides the ideal setting for recovery.  To learn more about this wonderful program go to the Cumberland Heights Website.
