About ARCH
Academy
With over 35 years of successful outcomes, ARCH Academy is specifically designed for adolescent males. Our approach is based on developmental research and proven techniques that engage teens in a meaningful way.
The mission of ARCH Academy is to transform lives, giving hope and healing to teens and families affected by drugs and alcohol.
Addiction is a chronic, progressive and potentially fatal disease. We carefully provide the highest quality of care to adolescent males and their families who are at varying degrees of substance abuse, ranging from misuse to substance abuse dependence or full-blown addiction.
ARCH Academy strikes a balance between therapy, academics and adventure and is designed to provide an individualized treatment within a therapeutic group milieu. Though a primary 12-Step addiction program, ARCH Academy treats the whole child, including underlying co-occurring mental health issues, family issues, relational barriers and poor academic confidence.
OUR CAMPUS
ARCH Academy is located on 67-acres in Kingston Springs, TN. Nestled in the woods near hiking trails and the Harpeth River, this beautiful retreat in the woods provides the ideal setting for recovery, away from the noise of the city. ARCH Academy is 15 miles from our main Cumberland Heights campus on River Road in Nashville, TN.

LETTER FROM OUR DIRECTOR
It is my hope that with our 30 plus years of experience in working with adolescents our staff will serve as both a guide and support for you in the next several weeks. Our goal is to help your son pursue abstinence from substances, deal with those underlying issues that contribute to his self-medicating behavior and provide your family with the tools and resources to support a life of recovery.
