Focus

This center primarily treats substance use disorders, helping you stabilize, create relapse-prevention plans, and connect to compassionate support.

Community Medical Services (CMS) provides outpatient treatment and included physical fitness classes for people with opioid use disorder (OUD). Expert providers at the Phoenix Cactus Road clinic offer compassionate care, using evidence-based methods to support recovery. CMS’s goal is to help patients regain stability and improve their well-being through comprehensive treatment. Conveniently located near I-17, the clinic is accessible by bus and car, with on-site parking available. Also known as the Recovery Wellness Center on Cactus, this location offers a fitness center equipped with cardio and weightlifting equipment, as well as group classes in collaboration with The Barbell Saves Project. Expert coaches and physical trainers lead free, community-based fitness classes specifically designed for individuals in recovery from substance use disorders. At the Cactus Road clinic, CMS offers medication-assisted treatment (MAT) with FDA-approved medications like Suboxone, Naltrexone, and Methadone to reduce cravings and ease withdrawal symptoms. Alongside MAT, patients receive individual and group counseling, where therapists use evidence-based approaches to help develop healthy coping strategies. Peer support specialists—individuals with lived experience in recovery—offer guidance and understanding throughout the treatment process. By combining medical care, counseling, physical fitness and peer support, CMS provides a well-rounded approach to opioid recovery.
