Each day at Cumberland Heights is unique, and each patient works an individualized care plan to meet his or her distinct needs. On a typical day treatment schedules begin at 7AM and last until 10PM.
Please leave any valuables at home. Cumberland Heights is not responsible for any lost, stolen or damaged items. Cash and credit cards may be stored for you in Patient Finance, but we are unable to accommodate purses and wallets.
We ask you to bring all prescriptions and any over-the-counter medications in their complete packaging including prescription bags. The medical staff will safely store them until one of our physicians is able to determine their use during and after treatment.
