About Community Medical Services – Fargo
Community Medical Services is a CARF accredited treatment center located in Fargo, North Dakota. They specialize in treating women, pregnant women and men who are struggling with chemical dependency. At this facility they treat opioid, heroin and fentanyl addiction. They accept Medicaid and Medicare insurance.
Their medication assisted treatment (MAT) is designed for individuals who are struggling with severe withdrawals and consistent cravings due to chemical dependency. The approach combines behavioral therapy and prescribed medication. The medications they utilize are buprenorphine methadone, and naltrexone.
The beginning stages of recovery can feel lonely because you’re transitioning your life, and more often than not that also means leaving people behind who aren’t healthy for your life in recovery. Community Medical Services provides peers who are trained specialists with personal experience with addiction and are now living a life of recovery. This gives you a chance to open up without the fear of being misunderstood or judged. They utilize peers in hospitals, corrections, pregnancy support and support groups.
What sticks out to me the most is their program for pregnant moms. They offer MAT during pregnancy and they also provide treatment for neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS). They provide education, ongoing support and resources to help your family heal and move forward.
What I found unique about them is how they work with correctional health facilities to assist individuals who are incarcerated and struggle with chemical dependency. They offer chemical dependency treatment that includes telehealth services, pregnancy support, peer support services, counseling and medication delivery.
During your time off from receiving treatment at Community Medical Services, you can explore the outdoors in Fargo and gain new sober interests like biking, fishing or hiking. Some places to check out are Red River Trail, Downtown Fargo RiverWalk and Forest River Park.
