About Community Medical Services

Community Medical Services in Dearborn Heights, Michigan, is part of a national network of more than 70 outpatient clinics that treat opioid use disorder with medication paired with counseling and support. They focus on low-barrier, judgment-free access: there are no waitlists, walk-ins are welcome, and patients can often receive medication the same day they complete intake. Each person gets a customized treatment plan, and the medication is meant to ease withdrawal and cravings so patients can work on the psychological side of addiction.

Medication options include methadone, buprenorphine, Suboxone, and long-acting injectables such as Sublocade, Brixadi, and monthly naltrexone, and staff help patients choose what fits their needs and lifestyle. Pregnant women can receive specialized care designed to protect both mother and baby. Alongside medication, patients have access to individual and group counseling, peer support from people with lived experience, and psychiatry services. Practical supports include help arranging affordable transportation to the clinic and a free Recovery Connect app that keeps patients in touch with their counselor between visits.
