About Community Medical Services
Community Medical Services (CMS) delivers outpatient services for individuals living with opioid use disorder (OUD). At the Tempe clinic, skilled clinicians provide supportive, evidence-based treatment aimed at helping people sustain recovery. CMS works to restore stability and enhance overall quality of life by offering a full range of care. The clinic is in the University Professional Plaza, and it is easy to reach by public transit or by car, with parking available on site.
The Tempe clinic provides medication-assisted treatment (MAT) using FDA-approved options such as Suboxone, Naltrexone, and Methadone to lessen cravings and manage withdrawal. Patients also participate in one-on-one and group counseling sessions, led by trained therapists who use proven techniques to strengthen healthier coping skills.
In addition, peer support specialists—people who have personal experience with recovery—provide encouragement and insight during each stage of treatment. With the combination of medical treatment, counseling, and peer guidance, CMS offers a comprehensive approach to opioid recovery.
