National Methadone Clinics
Methadone Clinics Centers Across Florida
Methadone is a medication used in medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid use disorder, and Florida has clinics across the state that provide it as part of a structured treatment program. A typical program pairs daily medication dosing, observed at the clinic, with counseling and regular check-ins with a treatment team. Before starting, you can expect an intake assessment so staff can learn your history and confirm whether methadone is an appropriate option for you.
Programs vary in how they schedule dosing, visits, and take-home privileges, so it helps to ask about these details when you call a clinic. If you are unsure where to begin, Florida's state treatment locator and the national treatment finder maintained through findtreatment.gov are two places to search for programs near you.

How does methadone treatment work?
Methadone is a long-acting medication that reduces withdrawal symptoms and cravings in people with opioid use disorder. It is taken daily, usually under supervision at a clinic, and is combined with counseling as part of a complete treatment plan.
Do I need a referral to go to a methadone clinic in Florida?
Most clinics do not require a referral. You can contact a clinic directly to schedule an intake assessment, where staff review your health history and current situation to determine whether their program fits your needs.
How much does methadone treatment cost in Florida?
Costs vary by clinic, and coverage depends on your insurance, including Medicaid if you qualify. Some clinics offer sliding-scale fees based on income. Ask about fees and accepted insurance when you call.
Can I keep working while in a methadone program?
Yes. Many people continue working while in treatment. Daily dosing schedules are often designed around work hours, and as you progress, clinics may allow take-home doses when you meet program requirements.
What should I expect at my first clinic visit?
Expect an intake assessment that covers your substance use history, health, and goals. The clinic may do a physical exam or drug screening. If methadone is appropriate for you, the medical team sets a starting dose and schedules your dosing and counseling visits.
