About Community Medical Services
Community Medical Services (CMS) offers outpatient services and includes physical fitness programming for individuals living with opioid use disorder (OUD). At the Phoenix Cactus Road clinic, a team of experienced clinicians provides supportive, compassionate care and relies on evidence-based practices to promote long-term recovery. CMS aims to help clients build stability, improve overall health, and move forward with a comprehensive treatment plan. Located near I-17, the clinic is easy to reach by public transportation or by car, with parking available on-site.
Known also as the Recovery Wellness Center on Cactus, this site features a dedicated fitness area with cardio and weightlifting equipment, along with group training sessions developed in partnership with The Barbell Saves Project. Coaches and physical trainers oversee free community classes designed for people working through substance use disorder recovery.
At the Cactus Road location, CMS provides medication-assisted treatment (MAT) using FDA-approved options such as Suboxone, Naltrexone, and Methadone to help lower cravings and reduce withdrawal discomfort. In addition to MAT, patients participate in one-on-one and group counseling, where licensed therapists use research-supported methods to build healthier coping skills. Peer support specialists, who have firsthand experience in recovery, also offer encouragement and practical insight throughout the care process. By integrating medical treatment, counseling, fitness support, and peer mentoring, CMS delivers a well-rounded approach to opioid recovery.

- Which medications do you prescribe (buprenorphine, methadone, naltrexone), and can I continue a medication I already take?
