Cantonment, Florida is a suburb of Pensacola in Escambia County. The word cantonment means a place that serves as a temporary quarter for troops, and the town got the name because Andrew Jackson quartered his troops there in 1814. Today, the need for methadone clinics in Florida is no different in this suburban area. People here who need treatment for addictions to opioid drugs can turn to a nearby methadone clinic Cantonment FL. The gold standard of opioid recovery approaches is Medication Maintenance Therapy, or MAT. This is a comprehensive approach that integrates pharmaceutical treatment with methadone, or sometimes buprenorphine, into a treatment plan that includes individual therapy, group therapy, behavioral therapy, family counseling, and/or other addiction treatments that ensure all sides of the patient’s addiction issues are addressed simultaneously. Even after the more intensive phase of treatment concludes, such as with the successful completion of an outpatient program, patients should continue on methadone for at least 12 months.
