About Community Medical Services Northwest Tucson

Community Medical Services (CMS) provides outpatient treatment for people with opioid use disorder (OUD). Expert providers at the Northwest Tucson 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. Located in the Northwest Medical Center complex, the clinic is accessible by bus and car, with on-site parking available.
At the Northwest Tucson 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, and peer support, CMS provides a well-rounded approach to opioid recovery.

Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like Community Medical Services Northwest Tucson provide structured pathways to evidence-based care. Sources: SAMHSA NSDUH 2023, NIDA Principles of Drug Addiction Treatment (4th Ed.)
