Medication-Assisted Treatment in Nashua, NH

The Path to a Better Life Starts in Nashua

The negative effects of the opioid epidemic have impacted countless families across the United States over the last couple of decades.

At Better Life Partners, we understand the urgency of addressing opioid use disorder (OUD). When someone is ready to tackle this complex issue, we are here to provide them with the tools they need to find long-term success in recovery. Because of this, we’ve chosen to offer same-day medication-assisted treatment with Suboxone in  New Hampshire.

New England has seen the tragic effects of the opioid epidemic first-hand. In New Hampshire in 2020, we saw 344 people lose their lives to drug overdose. Most of these cases involved fentanyl, a very potent opioid drug. When it comes to preventable drug overdose, the loss of one member of the Nashua community is too many.

It’s clear that New Hampshire needs help addressing this opioid crisis. People living with opioid use disorder (OUD) are in need of understanding, compassion, and care. At Better Life Partners, we understand this need and strive to meet people where they are in their recovery journey.

Everyone deserves access to flexible and affordable treatment that’s effective. If you’re ready to walk the road toward recovery, we are ready to walk with you every step of the way.

Here’s How We Can Help

Treatment methods that incorporate medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) have proven to be more effective at helping people achieve successful recovery. At Better Life Partners, we offer medications like buprenorphine/naloxone (Suboxone) to help those in recovery avoid withdrawal symptoms and overdose.

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 and skilled medical professionals, people often find they are more likely to find success in recovery from opioid use disorder.

Are You Battling Opioid Addiction?

*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.

Realizing that you may need help addressing an opioid use disorder is the first step toward achieving success in recovery. Opioids include pain relievers like oxycodone (OxyContin) and hydrocodone (Vicodin or Zohydro ER), fentanyl, and illegal drugs like heroin.

Signs of an 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
