  • We prioritize our members’ goals. Our alcohol treatment programs are member-centric. You get the freedom to decide what a healthier future means to you. From there, we provide you with non-judgmental support and access to resources so you have a better chance of reaching your goals. All recovery versions are welcome here.
  • We’re a non-punitive organization. We believe it’s more important to provide you with options when life doesn’t go the way you planned.

Reducing Harm through Compassionate Alcoholism (AUD) Treatment in Lawrence, MA

We’ve established a harm reduction approach to our AUD treatment program at Better Life Partners. This means we know every one of our members is going to have a unique recovery journey and we give you the freedom to choose what it looks like. Whether cutting back, abstaining, or something else is your goal, all are respected and valued.

Part of our commitment to reducing harm also means there will never be consequences or punishments with us. No matter what life throws you, we’ll work hard to make sure you have access to what you need, whether support or resources, to get you back on the track you choose. And if you change your mind or take a break, that’s okay too. You’ll always be welcome back with open arms.

Whenever you’re ready to see what unconditional support looks and feels like, give us a call or text at (866) 679-0831.

Optional medication for alcoholism (AUD) in Lawrence, MA

One of the optional support tools we offer at Better Life Partners is medication for AUD. Not all of our members choose this route and it’s not a requirement, but some find it a great tool during their recovery.

We offer three different medications to our members who are interested in medication for alcohol use disorder:

  • Acamprosate: This medication helps people who want to become abstinent from alcohol by reducing their cravings and urges to drink alcohol.
  • Disulfiram: Like Acamprosate, this medication is also useful for people who would like to abstain from alcohol and works by making their body extremely sensitive to alcohol intake.
  • Naltrexone: This medication is better suited for our members who are looking to cut back on drinking but not necessarily abstain and works by reducing the overall pleasant feelings associated with alcohol ingestion.

Studies have shown these medications to be safe and effective, especially when combined with other support resources. If medication-assisted treatment sounds like it could be a good fit for you or you’d like more information, call or text us at (866) 679-0831.

Frequently asked questions

Where is Better Life Partners located in Massachusetts?

We partner with community organizations so that we can provide our medication-assisted treatment services wherever they’re needed in Massachusetts. With fantastic partners and virtual options, no matter where you are in the state, you can receive our alcohol treatment services.

How is Better Life Partners’ alcohol treatment program different from AA?

Our program takes the best parts of AA and builds upon them. We offer group sessions, like AA, but they are led by licensed professionals and are focused on your unique needs. While our sessions aren’t geared toward a one-faith practice, we support members of all faiths and encourage each person to share what’s important to them.

Why do you use Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) and alcoholism interchangeably?

First and foremost, we use the word alcoholism on our website to make sure folks looking online for treatment find us as an option! That said, we know there are several people out there who don’t relate to that word, so we use it alongside AUD and aim to use alcohol use disorder in place of alcoholism when possible.  

We use alcohol use disorder instead of alcoholism because AUD includes varying degrees of alcohol use and is a diagnostic medical term, whereas “alcoholism” is a colloquial term that is often interpreted negatively or as referring to someone with a severe alcohol use problem. So, we use AUD to be inclusive and non-judgmental!

Do I need to take medication to be in your program?

Absolutely not! We never ask our members to do anything they are not comfortable with. Many of our members opt out of medications and others elect to use them. Your recovery is up to you! We’re here to provide you with options so you can choose the treatment style that works best for you.

I’m interested in medications, how quickly can I start on Naltrexone/Acamprosate/Disulfiram for Alcoholism?

We offer same-day treatment with or without medications for alcoholism/AUD. 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, bi-monthly, or monthly group therapy. Overall, what your treatment looks like is up to you–we’re just here to give you whatever support you need in the process.

Do you accept insurance?

Yes. We accept Medicaid, Medicare, BCBS, MassHealth, most insurances, and offer a sliding fee scale as needed.

 

What’s it like to be a Better Life Partners member?

We may be biased, but we think it’s pretty great! We operate with a non-punitive harm reduction philosophy, which means that we offer compassion and flexibility to help you achieve your goals. We believe in creating options and a sense of belonging during recovery, instead of focusing on consequences. Plus, we integrate with other community organizations to make sure you can get our care no matter where you are.
