Across Minnesota, Community Medical Services is helping individuals, families, providers, and community partners respond to substance use disorders with care that is accessible, evidence-based, and rooted in dignity.
The 2025 Minnesota Patient Outcomes Report highlights the impact of outpatient Medications for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD) treatment, counseling, peer support, harm reduction, and community partnerships across the state. In 2025, CMS served 1,488 patients across Minnesota across 6 counties.

Recovery is not defined by a single appointment, test result, or moment in time. At CMS, care is built around a long-term, whole-person approach that meets patients where they are and keeps the door open whenever they are ready to continue.
In Minnesota, our patients describe CMS clinics as respectful, caring, and judgement-free. One Minneapolis patient shared: “I’ve been in and out of programs for the past 21 years. I started here at Community Medical Services, and feel like I am listened to and consistently get the help I need. I’m really optimistic about life again.”
Minnesota’s 2025 outcomes data shows how sustained access to treatment, counseling, and supportive care can help patients stabilize over time.
The longer patients remain connected to care, the more Minnesota outcomes data showed meaningful improvement in key social determinants of health. From admission to one year or more in treatment, Minnesota patients reported meaningful reductions in unemployment, unstable housing, low income, and anxiety.
Better data leads to better care. The 2025 Minnesota Patient Outcomes Report brings together patient demographics, counseling impact, toxicology trends, social determinants of health, and recovery outcomes to help CMS continue improving treatment access and quality across Minnesota.

The National Patient Outcomes Report provides a nationwide view of CMS’s impact over the previous calendar year. Across the communities CMS serves, our mission is bigger than access to medication alone. It is about improving the social determinants of health that influence long-term recovery, including housing stability, employment, health access, community connection, and overall well-being.
