About Community Medical Services

Community Medical Services is an outpatient opioid treatment provider with a clinic in Mesa, Arizona, part of a network of more than 70 locations across the country. They focus specifically on opioid use disorder, pairing FDA-approved medications with counseling and peer support in a low-barrier, judgment-free setting. There are no waitlists, walk-ins are welcome, and patients can often start medication the same day as intake. Arizona residents may qualify for grant funding through the federal Substance Use Prevention, Treatment and Recovery Services Block Grant.

Medication options include methadone, Suboxone, buprenorphine, Brixadi, monthly Sublocade injections, and injectable naltrexone, so patients can be matched to the medication that best fits their needs and lifestyle. Treatment also includes individual and group counseling focused on building healthy coping skills, peer support from people with lived experience, and psychiatry services for co-occurring mental health needs. They offer specialized MAT services for pregnant women, and they can help patients find affordable transportation to the clinic, which is sometimes free at the start of treatment. Their free Recovery Connect app keeps patients in touch with their counselor between visits, and anyone can use it, whether or not they are a CMS patient.
