Details: Community Medical Services is a CARF–accredited addiction treatment program providing services in the form of outpatient drug replacement therapy and private one–on–one counseling to those seeking help with their substance addictions. We have two Arizona locations which cater to Phoenix, Glendale, Mesa, Scottsdale, and Tempe; a clinic in Tucson which caters to the surrounding areas including Sierra Vista and Casa Grande and three clinics in Montana located in Missoula, Kalispell, and Billings, which cater to clients in Bozeman and Helena as well as to clients in Williston and Dickinson, North Dakota. It is our philosophy that outpatient drug replacement therapy along with counseling is an effective treatment for individuals who are physically dependent on substances such as drugs or alcohol. Medical care is provided by certified addiction specialists who will prescribe the proper medication based on an evaluation of your individual needs. Medications often used consist of Methadone, Suboxone, and Buprenorphine to treat pain pill, heroin, and other opiate addictions with the ultimate goal being to detox individuals off all forms of medication when possible. Counseling is recommended to anyone who is dependent on drugs or alcohol. Working with a counselor can help you understand your dependency and how to cope with it. Counseling focuses on what is called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as well as a technique called Motivational Interviewing. Both of these techniques can help in changing the way individuals process information leading to non–drug use outcomes. Group counseling is also a beneficial means of dealing with like issues and can be arranged if requested.
