If u have tried recovery and it has never worked there is hope. This place is amazing. The entire staff is always willing to do what it takes to help. When I went here the first time I'd lost all hope. My counselor(s) took my issues personally and went the extra to ensure i not only survived, but succeeded. In the end I'm a much more than I could have ever imagined in every aspect of my life. Thank You for saving me!!!! God Bless;)

Whenever Kenna Heights was at CMS, was the only counselor in the 7 yrs I've gone there, that actually knew what a counselor is supposed to be,after 30 yrs have never been treated so disregarded

Gemini Jade | Oct 2, 2018
Linda Morris | Oct 2, 2018

Recommended is after 8pm cuz morning hours r 430-1230, evening dosing 1 to 8pm. The rest of their hours they r trying to do just intakes but they cont intakes all thruough the dosing hours as well. So just call they r amazing!

How many dosing windows?

Gemini Jade | Oct 2, 2018
Kisa Smith | Oct 2, 2019

Its true that there are 3 Windows. Sometimes all 3 are open, but not usually. Only when its super busy there, and if there are enough staff to do it. One window will take the people who take suboxen, and they take much longer. I think they must be given the strip so they have to stay til staff can document its gone (Im assuming, dont quote me on that). I think they do a few of those folks and get them done...so if only 2 windows are open it will be more like 1 for awhile. It usually dont take too long though...even a few times when the place was packed the longest I waited was like 20 mins. I know if your dopesick it feels like forever but in the end its worth it once u get it!

What do I do if I miss dose on sat.

Brian Johnson | Oct 2, 2019
Megan Frye | Oct 2, 2019

It depends on if your still in your first 30 days or not. If you are, then Sundays are open for you during your time block. If you are outside 30 days then you will have to wait until Monday to dose again because that building is only open from 5am until 6pm Monday through Friday and 5am to 2pm sharp Saturday. They will not let you dose if your late on Saturday.

Pro Life | Oct 2, 2019
Katie OBrien | Oct 2, 2019

its not an immediate fix. you have to work your way up to a dose that will work for you so that you feel normal. that may take a few months but until then you'll want to keep doing what your doing. the intake process is a few hours or more but most likely a few hours. you have to go every day except Sundays until you can get privileges but ask about that. you will start off small but if you keep going it can and absolutely will change your life. and give you a life.

I missed Saturday and dont want to suffer till mon it was the nurse who told me till 4pm on sat. But it was 330 and I got there 334 ugh. Can I dose at 24hr place next door since I'm new?!

Bree Blalock | Oct 1, 2020
Amber Lynn | Oct 1, 2020

No they wont let you dose next door. They may let you come back at 4am the next day. I believe they are open on sundays maybe but of not you can go to an urgent care on Thunderbird and if u have a take home bottle from last weekend show them your dose. They may have to call cms to verify that u weren't dosed but the 24hr clinic may be able to access your records to confirm to the urgent care that u weren't dosed. But no they will not let u dose next door. I've tried that when I missed a day. And if u have to wait to dose tomoro u will be fine promise methadone has a long half life. Like it will last u up to 36 hours even though we're dosed every 24 hrs.

Do they do suboxon

Samantha Cowan | Oct 1, 2020

Can you get suboxonne instead of methadone and do you need to go daily for suboxcone

Selena Alvarez | Oct 1, 2020
mindy mcginn | Oct 1, 2020

yes....for a while u go daily then after clean UAs they give u take homes they. build up to monthly

What do you think the best time of day (Monday) would be to go in for an intake? That would potentially take the least amount of time..

Jane The Killer | Oct 1, 2020
Ashley Aaron | Oct 1, 2020

Totally depends. I did it at eleven pm and it didn't take too long. About four hours. However, there have been a lot of new clients doing intakes recently. Best bet is to call ahead of time and ask how many people they have going through the intake process at that time. Any more than four or five you're going to be there a while. I would also ask them when shift change is and try to be there when the new shift comes on. Employees from the previous shift will be rushing to get their intakes done. just a theory but it seems to have worked for the other people I've given that advice to. Also it would make sense to avoid doing an intake right before the holidays. Everybody's trying to get clean then. Good luck!

How long untill I Can reach my 30day suboxone Privileges assuming everything goes smoothly and I drop clean UA and fallow all rules ?

LG R (LGR) | Oct 1, 2020
Ashley Aaron | Oct 1, 2020

You have to stay on top of meeting with your counselor and scheduling/attending all your provider appointments as well. If all goes perfect and you stay on track, it should take you about 6 months I believe. Be sure to ask your counselor about privileges each time you meet with him or her.

Do you have to go everyday to get your medication? And if so do you have to wait long hours when you’re there for your medication?

salvador flores | Oct 2, 2019
Jessica Abigail | Oct 2, 2019

not everyone goes everyday. with time and consistent clean UA'S you become eligible for take home privileges. nobody goes on Sundays they give u a Sunday take home on Saturdays from day 1. then u earn Saturdays then weekends plus 1 then mon wed Fri then weekly's ECT. up to monthlys.

Do they give you a 30 day supply of suboxone and just go in every month, or do you have to go in every single day there for suboxone?

Dustin | Oct 2, 2019
Katie OBrien | Oct 2, 2019

every day until you get privileges.

Dosing hours on sunday ?

Easton Lepacek | Oct 2, 2019
Megan Frye | Oct 2, 2019

Depends, if you are a client under 30 days, you will dose at the northern and 23rd location until 2.... If you are over 30 days, you will receive a take home dose on Saturday. I have been there for about a year now and im not sure of their hours on Sunday because I started treatment there before the new hours took effect. Their location on 23rd and northern is open 24/7 for people who are interested in getting treatment.

You can call to set an appointment, but they may just tell you to show up. 24 hour intakes at the building behind this address. I believe self pay is 60 a week. May be different now,but it was 60. Also, I believe they received a grant to cover costs while u apply for acchs...if this is something you are eligible for.

What's the suboxone starting dose

Alice Ray | Oct 2, 2019
Enrique Mota | Oct 2, 2019

Every person is different, it depends on how high your tolerance is and what kind of opioids you where using, heroin, perks, ETC but if you're on a good amount daily and you have a pretty high tolerance they started me off at 24 mlgs daily. 8mg strip in the morning, 8mg at noon, 8mg at p.m.

How many hours must i be "clean" prior to going in for an intake? 12 or 24 or what? Help me por favor...thank you

Milton Tsosie | Oct 2, 2019
Michaela Kennell | Oct 2, 2019

Yeah. You could use right before you walk in. But only if what you were wanting right away is methadone. If you want suboxone, you can still use right before you walk in but they will also monitor you and make you wait the required amount of time needed in withdrawal before giving you the suboxone. Essentially, that's about how it works. The point is that they want to help you with your goal to get clean, even if you need to use right before tackling that goal. You got this, good luck to you. You can do it!

Depends on when you go. I used to be in line at 4:15am before they opened at 4:30. Of course there was a wait. Now i go at 5:10-5:25 and i am in and out. Most of the time when i walk in & give my clinic #, im in the cue and being called to a window before i can even sit down. Just have to keep trying different times until you find that time that is good for you with no wait. Also, ask the nurses that dose you, they will tell you that clinic's slow times...
