A quick intro call to help us help you

You’ll tell us about yourself and your health concerns. We’ll tell you about our treatment program. It should only take about 10-15 minutes and you can expect understanding, compassion, and confidentiality.

 

And if we don’t sound like the right fit? No problem. It’s free to call, and there’s no obligation to join Better Life Partners.

Chat with a healthcare provider

If we’re the right match, we’ll dial-in a member of our care team right away. On this 20-30-minute call, our healthcare provider will ask you about your history with substance use and talk to you about what recovery looks like for you.

 

Whether you want to cut back or cut it out completely, you’re in charge of your path. We’re here to walk alongside you.

Start treatment that same day

If medication-assisted treatment is part of your recovery toolkit, we’re all for it. Our healthcare providers will get you a prescription the same day you call, so you can feel better today.

 

We’ll also go ahead and schedule your first counseling session. Depending on where you’re at in your recovery, this may look like weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly group therapy. We’re flexible: we offer virtual meetings Monday-Friday, including weeknight options between 5-8pm to fit your needs.

 

Worried about missing a meeting? It’s okay, life happens. We offer makeup sessions daily.
