About Community Medical Services Addiction Treatment Dearborn Heights
Community Medical Services is an outpatient opioid addiction treatment organization. They began operating in Arizona and have clinics in multiple states, including this facility in Sterling Heights, Michigan.
The clinic offers medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) as well as peer support and counseling for underlying co-occurring mental health disorders. The program accepts several Medicaid and Medicare options as well as other insurance.
Targeted Addiction Care For Pregnant Clients
One of the notable programs at this clinic is the medication assisted treatment for pregnant women. MAT helps to reduce illicit drug use through the use of medication to treat withdrawal symptoms and cravings.
For women with opioid use disorder (OUD), it’s recommended that they do MAT throughout the pregnancy since that’s the safest choice for both mother and baby. MAT can improve a mother’s nutrition, which helps ensure a bigger, healthier baby at birth.
MAT combines medication with group and individual counseling. Therapy will help women identify and treat co-occurring mental health disorders that may be contributing to opioid use. Clients are given the tools they need to develop healthier coping skills, and the program is customized for each client’s situation.
Peer Support Specialists For Continued Healing
The treatment team offers peer support specialists. These are individuals with their own lived experiences of addiction who have successfully completed the treatment process. Peer support specialists offer unique advice and support to help you navigate the treatment system and overcome any obstacles you have to treatment.
One other unique program they offer is a correctional health program for incarcerated individuals. People in prison have a high risk of substance use and many relapse within 30 days of their release. The treatment center ensures inmates have quality access to treatment
Sterling Heights is a scenic suburban town about a half hour from Detroit. In between treatment sessions, clients can enjoy the local parks and outdoor activities such as hiking and fishing.
