About Community Medical Services

Located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Community Medical Services has outpatient addiction treatment services for adults. Here you’ll find a holistic approach to treating substance abuse that includes counseling, medication assisted treatment, and peer support. A specialized program for pregnant women with opioid addiction helps provide prenatal care and medication assisted therapy in a safe environment.

Through individual and group counseling, you’ll engage in an individualized treatment plan and develop healthy coping skills. Integrated peer support is a part of support groups, correctional health, and community outreach. Methadone, buprenorphine, and naltrexone medications are used to treat withdrawal symptoms and help reduce drug cravings. Medication treatment at this organization is also personalized, meaning medication recommendations are made based on your unique needs and lifestyle. The goal is to find the best treatment for your recovery journey.

CMS supports pregnant inmates in the local prison system by giving them screening for opioid use disorder, peer support and education, and care coordination. They also deliver medication and counseling services.

People who’ve received services at Community Medical Services say this is an amazing clinic with a wonderful staff. Another former client said this facility saved their life.

I ve been to almost every CMS In Wisconsin due to moving/sober livings etc. started at another methadone clinic but ended up here.CMS is the only facility that I started to take my sobriety seriously and got sober. Never thought I d earn a take home. Couldn t even understand how people didn t use long enough to get one. Finally moved to the pewaukee facility and it clicked.Unfortunately not enough people were told about that clinic and it was so hidden off the road people thought it was either a bank or the church - so it closed and many of us had to go back to other facilities- such as here s(Ctc in Waukesha or CMS in west Allis)- wish they gave it more than a month and asked us patients to help spread the word to keep it open but it is what it is.I find it pretty sad that rather than closing the pewaukee facility and making those of us who got clean (from those I spoke to most of us) because we were no longer in Milwaukee county on top of support from our counselors, and our determinationI wish they would have made it mandatory - like many other facilities in Waukesha, that all the CMS patients at west Allis needed to transfer to pewaukee.I am still super happy especially because most of the staff moved over (I miss you nurse Sarah!! :( ) but it s hard to go back to west Allis, see dope men sitting in their cars, see who s strung out, etc. especially because even if we didn t have many of us at pewaukee, that was the one clinic that I saw the most amount of people with take home boxes. Every other patient I remember seeing and talking to looked so healthy, happy, and again had at least one take home.That means something was working there for us. (To me, it was having the smaller amount of patients, we were more directly worked with and could feel the care and support) I hope the people I spoke to that were worried about being back in west Allis make it through those worries and cravings.Sucks to have to drive 20-25 minutes one way again versus my 15 minute walk to pewaukee/ 4 minute drive but again, being phased and not having to come everyday makes it worth it.I just wanted to say, I love CMS period, but I wish they still had those security guards and the line is much longer than I remember it being. But the nurses and counselors and staff are all amazing I just feel like there are too many of us compared to the few amount of them, But can t win them all.I would always choose CMS over any other clinic, and I love my counselor - even those who aren t my counselors- (I m talking about you Yshonda and Jean!)Counselors like them push us to see the best in us.CMS pewaukee was a 100 out of 10CMS west Allis might not be that high but still 8/10 because of their amazing staff

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
inpatient iconInpatient
Inpatient rehab is designed to stabilize clients who are exiting detox or those who are in some form of crisis. They are an important preliminary step designed to prepare clients for outpatient, sober living, or community-based care. Clients live at the treatment center and engage in intensive addiction counseling. Group and family therapy is common. Many programs also emphasize recovery-focused life skills training to support clients' sustained sobriety. Some programs offer evidence-based holistic therapies, such as meditation.
sober-living iconSober Living Homes
Individuals staying in a sober living home in Wisconsin benefit from support and friendship with others in recovery. They're also encouraged to continue rehab through support groups and outpatient treatment. Halfway house residents further benefit from increased responsibility and mutual accountability that helps them practice recovery skills. Their time at a sober living home prepares them to transition back to regular life after treatment.
24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical Care
24-hour clinical care in Wisconsin is an essential safety protocol during addiction treatment. Medical staff provides treatment to address withdrawal symptoms and other health issues. Mental health professionals are available to address co-occurring disorders or other psychological concerns. Other resources may include family counselors, case managers, and nutritionists.
medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox
Medical detox involves weaning your body off drugs and/or alcohol in an inpatient setting, and is often the first step in addiction recovery. Quitting alcohol and certain drugs (like benzodiazepines or opioids) can cause dangerous side effects once you have become physically dependent. In medically assisted detox, a team of on-site healthcare professionals will work to keep you safe and comfortable during this process. Additionally, they may administer medications when needed to alleviate any withdrawal symptoms.

Clinical Services

As a form of substance use treatment, cognitive behavioral therapy in Wisconsin offers several advantages. The duration of this talk therapy is typically 20 sessions or less, so it can be more affordable, with quicker results. It's also offered in multiple formats, so it can be tailored to meet individual needs.

Conflict resolution and stress are common triggers for addictive behavior. Within a group therapy setting, participants learn to practice essential skills to improve relationships, manage conflict, and reduce stress. Each of these is a crucial factor in maintaining recovery.

Individual therapy offers you a tailored approach to treat drug addiction. This focuses on your unique needs and offers you personalized support outside of a group setting. You begin to understand what triggers your addictive behavior and develop coping skills that can support your recovery.

When conducting motivational interviewing in Wisconsin, therapists engage with their clients as equal partners. They don't provide unsolicited advice or confront clients. Instead, they ask questions and listen, with the goal of empowering clients to recognize any need for change and their ability to make those changes.

Trauma therapy gives you the opportunity to understand and manage the emotional and physical responses that often follow witnessing or experiencing a traumatic event. Working with an experienced and trained therapist, you can process the events of the trauma and develop healthier coping strategies to reduce your symptoms.

During couples therapy, you will engage in activities that promote forgiveness, healthy communication, and understanding. You'll receive "homework" to practice these skills during the week between sessions. Couples therapy typically lasts around 12 weeks.

One focus of family therapy is to create a network for the individual in recovery. Families must identify dysfunctional patterns and develop healthier ways of interacting. This can significantly improve their loved one's treatment outcome.

Source: 7 years attending cms, most reviews below are going to be from mostly short term attending clients. I wish I had good things to say about cms but after almost 7 years of attending 7 years of sobriety off opiates I wish i had some great experinece with them I AM SOBER INSPITE OF CMS NOT BECAUSE OF THEM. I can give u detail horror stories of mutiples cms, the panic attacks they caused everytime i have to go in their I try to keep my head down, keep to myself becauseat cms don't get too close to anyone even staff because its just a job to them and you are nothing but a number..Because all the staff knows u are a addict or recovering addict they will hold that above your head and degrade u every chance they get which for a place of Recovery for a lack of a better word is absolutley, disgustinly heartbreaking. Please understand this is one many wildly disappointing stories thats happened to me at cms. I got my number called the nurse calls me back and this same nurse last week had called me back then scolded for me coming to the window even though SHE called me . I had asked her to not call me till she's ready, fast fwd till today when she Calls me back, (simply for asking her not to call me till she ready last time) she is so passively aggressively still mad over me poltiety advocating for myself says nothing to me, I say hello she ignores me, then starts typing on her computer I Wait for my dose she starts filing some UAS I wait, WAIT FOR ANY ACKNOWLEDGMENT that I'm here (only thing I'm trying to do is get dosed continue my sobriety that's all I want, the literal bare minimum cms can do and they even complicated this), she continues on her computer then outloud goes "oh wow 2019" (The year I got sober) she says nothing else obviously implying u been here for awhile as of thats something i should be ashamed of and not proud of? Finally I ask do u want me to come back to get dosed she goes no. Another moment passes she continues to ignore me and not dose me finally I had to go up front and ask for my counselor I told both workers upfront what happened they didn't acknowledge the situation at all but one did message my counselor. Since wisconsin is one party state I do have recording of this in case any of it wants to be denied. I will say when I bring specific issues to the ombudsman he is absolutley wonderful, nips it in the bud and workers who have caused issues like this do no longer work for cms so I know he really does listen and keeps an eye on said employees, but having to complain to a ombudsman everytime there's a issues seems like the issues should just get internally addressed so they don't continue to happen. Cms is a class action lawsuit waiting to happen as they already countless lawsuit against them(Google it) In the beginning I had high hopes for what cms stood for, after attending I understand who they truly are. As I type this I cry not for me but for every recovering and current addict that will go in cms with high hopes but leaves feeling ashamed of themselves when they should have nothing but pride, people who walk in feeling great walk out like I did today wondering if getting sober was worth it when this is the return u get from the only group that's meant to help you with your sobriety. I leave this review for them and for everyone else cms has hurt when they should of helped , for everyone who just wants to be treated equal, for every panic attack they've cause , every tear shed because of their employee politics and favortism of clients and all the trauma they have ever inflicted I leave this review for them

First off Marvin is such a blessing to see everyday and how kind he is to us! He deserves a raise. Second I got Rhonda back and I m done hearing anything about her. She makes me feel safe, important and it s not ground hogs day every time we speak. She cares and I came from the one thst should be talked about. I m so glad I have her back and have someone wanting to guide us all to better. She inspires me and is better than all the counselors I ve had there. Please tell her she is mentioned so she knows we listen and care about her time.
