Medication-Assisted Treatment in Brattleboro, VT

A Better Life Is Achievable in Brattleboro

The opioid epidemic has negatively impacted countless lives over the last couple of decades. Opioid use has ravaged families and communities up and down the East Coast, including in Vermont. It’s clear that many Vermonters are in need of skilled, compassionate, and complete addiction treatment.

At Better Life Partners, we understand that when people need treatment for addiction issues, they need a treatment center that can address their problems with a sense of urgency. Because of this, we offer same-day medication-assisted treatment with Suboxone in Vermont.

New England has been on the front lines of the opioid epidemic. In 2021, there were 150 members of Vermont communities that lost their lives to opioid overdose. When it comes to preventable drug overdose deaths, the loss of one community member is too many. Families and communities in Vermont need help addressing this opioid crisis. People living with opioid use disorder (OUD) often require the help of skilled and compassionate professionals to find success in recovery. We understand this and meet people where they are in their recovery journey.

Everyone deserves access to flexible and affordable treatment that works. If you’re ready to walk the road to recovery, we are ready to walk with you every step of the way. Call us at (866) 679-0831 to get started.

Here’s How We Can Help

Treatment that incorporates medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) has been proven to be more effective at helping people achieve long-term success in recovery. At Better Life Partners, we offer medications like buprenorphine/naloxone (Suboxone) to help those in recovery avoid withdrawal symptoms and relapse.

According to Harvard Medical School, “Suboxone, a combination medication containing buprenorphine and naloxone, is one of the main medications used to treat opioid addiction.” By binding to the same receptors in the brain as opioids like heroin and pain relievers, it can eliminate cravings, enhance recovery, and reduce the likelihood of relapse. In fact, treatment using MOUD has been shown to lower the risk of fatal overdoses by about 50%.

Better Life Partners’ medication-assisted treatment (MAT) includes MOUD, group therapy with a licensed professional, and individual meetings with a medical provider. By combining the power of medication with a supportive community, people often find they are more successful in their recovery from opioid use disorder.

Are You Battling Opioid Use Disorder?

*If someone is showing signs of an opioid overdose, call 911 immediately. Overdose symptoms, according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine, include vomiting, slow breathing or heartbeat, fingernails or lips turning a shade of blue or purple, and paleness.

The first step on your journey to recovery is the realization that you may need help addressing an opioid use disorder. Opioids include pain relievers like oxycodone (OxyContin) and hydrocodone (Vicodin or Zohydro ER), fentanyl, and heroin.

Signs of opioid use disorder may include:

• Making mistakes at work or school due to the use of opioids
• Wanting to stop using opioids but being unable to
• Relationships with family and friends suffering due to opioid use
• Needing to consume more of the substance to feel the effects
• Strong cravings
• Overdose
