About Community Medical Services

Community Medical Services in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, is part of a national network of clinics that focus on treating opioid use disorder with medication-assisted treatment (MAT) paired with counseling. Their approach centers on low-barrier, judgment-free access, so there are no waitlists, walk-ins are welcome, and patients can often receive their first dose of medication on the same day as intake. Each patient receives a customized treatment plan, and the goal is to stabilize withdrawal and cravings so people have room to work on the psychological side of addiction.

The network’s medication options include methadone, buprenorphine, Suboxone, monthly Sublocade injections, Brixadi, and injectable naltrexone, along with MAT services tailored to pregnant women who need to protect their baby’s health during recovery. Medication is supported by individual and group counseling focused on building personal coping strategies, peer support from people with lived experience, and psychiatry services for those with co-occurring mental health needs. Patients can also use Recovery Connect, a free app that keeps them in touch with their counselor between visits, and staff can help arrange affordable transportation to the clinic, which is sometimes free at the start of treatment.
