Walk-in patients are welcome, and there are no waitlists for care, ensuring that individuals can access treatment when they are ready to take the first step.Holistic Approach to RecoveryCMS takes a holistic approach to recovery that goes beyond medication management. Each patient receives tailored counseling and peer support services designed to address the underlying causes of addiction and build the skills necessary for sustained sobriety. The treatment team includes licensed counselors, medical professionals, and peer support specialists who collaborate to create individualized treatment plans. Research has demonstrated the effectiveness of this approach: after six months in treatment at CMS, patients experience a 49% increase in employment and a 40% decrease in illicit substance use.Innovative Technology for Recovery SupportCMS has developed the first and only mobile application clinically proven to increase the odds of success in recovery. CMS patients who download and use the app during their first week of treatment double their odds of remaining engaged in treatment. This innovative tool is available free of charge to anyone, regardless of whether they are a CMS patient, reflecting the organization's commitment to making recovery support as accessible as possible.Community Partnerships and EducationBuilding trusted partnerships within the Mesa community is central to the CMS mission. The organization maintains a dedicated Community Impact Team focused on raising awareness about substance use services, reducing stigma associated with addiction, and providing education and training alongside other organizations working toward similar goals.
