Here's how it works

At Better Life Partners, we’re ready to provide the care you’re looking for. As part of the Groups Recover Together network, that care may include support from Groups, from Better Life Partners directly, or both.

2. Meet with a counselor and a healthcare provider

You’ll meet virtually with a counselor and provider. If it’s a good fit, we’ll get you started with a Suboxone® prescription as soon as possible—often in as little as one business day. We can also schedule your first group therapy session.

 

This is also when you’ll officially join Groups Recover Together, the care network Better Life Partners is now part of.

Get started with counseling

We’ll schedule you for a medication support group to help you feel better and get you started. From there, you’ll join your first group therapy session. Groups meets once a week for one hour, and you can attend in person at one of our offices or online through the Groups app, whatever works best for you.

Frequently asked questions

Where is Better Life Partners located?

Does medication-assisted treatment actually work?

How quickly can I get started on buprenorphine/naloxone (Suboxone)?

We offer same-day treatment. Call/text to get started: (866) 679-0831.

What is expected of me during treatment?

First, you will meet with a medical professional to get started. After that, members take part in supportive counseling sessions. Depending on where you’re at in your recovery, this may look like weekly, every other week, or monthly group therapy.
