ARCH (Adolescent Recovery of Cumberland Heights) is dedicating to serving teen girls 14-17 and their families as they overcome substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health disorders. Rooted in the 12-Step philosophy with a focus on family involvement, ARCH is dedicated to restoring lives and providing hope to teens and their loved ones.
They launched their first adolescent program in 1985. In 2020, they expanded their commitment to teen recovery by opening ARCH Academy’s Harpeth Campus in Kingston Springs, TN where adolescent boys can heal through evidence-based therapy, academics, and adventure-based experiences. In 2025, they expanded the ARCH program to include treatment for adolescent girls with the opening of their Ridgeview Campus in Pegram, TN. They also broadened their services by launching the Music Row intensive outpatient program (IOP), offering outpatient treatment options for teens who need flexible care.
They have a comprehensive program that addresses the addiction, underlying co-occurring disorder, family difficulties, relational barriers, and low academic confidence. At ARCH Academy, they have medical detox, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), family system therapy, 12-Step group and education, experiential therapies, medication management for co-occurring disorders, psychiatric care, daily group therapy, individual and group therapy, a treatment progress incentive program, and a community service projects. ARCH Academy has a 3-phase clinical program.
Phase 1 is 30-45 days long, and they focus on getting a clear assessment of the teen through a variety of evaluations that are conducted by therapist, physicians, and psychiatric. During phase 1, the family will participate in an intensive program so that ARCH Academy can get a better understanding of the addiction and family dynamic.
During phase 2, the program length is between 90-120 days. This stage is progress-dependent, since the client has been clean long enough to dig deeper into the 12-Step program. During phase 2, the client works on the core reason behind the addiction and focuses on coping skills. At the end of phase 2, clients focus on the transition plan of returning home or the next phase.
Next is phase 3, the transition phase, and this phase is generally 2-4 weeks. Clients work on their transition plan during phase 3 with clear academic goals and 12-Step home recovery plan. Some experiential therapies include art therapy, music therapy, yoga and mindfulness, and recreational therapy like ropes courses.
