About Community Medical Services

Community Medical Services in Tucson, Arizona, is part of a network of more than 70 clinics that treat opioid use disorder with medication paired with counseling and peer support. They aim to make starting care as easy as possible: there are no waitlists, walk-ins are accepted, and new patients can complete an intake, receive a personalized treatment plan, and often get their first dose the same day. Arizona residents who qualify may be able to cover costs through federal block grant funding, and staff can help arrange affordable transportation, sometimes free at the start, to get people to the clinic.

Medication options include methadone, Suboxone, buprenorphine, Brixadi, Sublocade, and injectable naltrexone, so patients and providers can choose what fits their needs and daily life. Alongside medication, patients have access to individual and group counseling focused on building practical coping skills, peer support from people with lived experience, and psychiatric care as part of their plan. They also offer specialized services for pregnant women, and their free Recovery Connect app keeps patients in touch with their counselor between visits.
