Start Healing with Medication-Assisted Treatment in Portland, ME

Better Life Partners can provide you with same-day access to medication-assisted treatment (MAT) with Suboxone, just call/text us at (866) 679-0831 to see if MAT is right for you. MAT is a form of whole-person opioid addiction treatment that acknowledges that you’re an individual with your own unique needs. MAT looks different for everyone, but it typically consists of a combination of medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) and behavioral therapy.

We prescribe Suboxone for MAT, which is a medication in the form of a sublingual film that is made up of buprenorphine and naloxone. Suboxone has been shown to be safe and effective at treating opioid addiction in both long-term and short-term treatment plans. Studies have revealed that MAT can help with things like unpleasant withdrawal symptoms and cravings, and it can also prevent opioid overdose deaths.

One of the biggest misconceptions of MAT is that it is simply trading one addiction for another, which isn’t true. MAT is an FDA approved form of harm reduction treatment that has been shown to be very effective at helping individuals recover from opioid addiction. Along with that, with Better Life Partners, your treatment is always overseen by a medical professional–so you’re never alone during your recovery.

Call/text us today at (866) 679-0831 to discuss getting started with medication-assisted treatment with Suboxone.

Opioid Addiction Treatment Based on Compassion and Respect

At Better Life Partners we have a harm reduction philosophy, which just means that we work hard to reduce the negative side effects associated with drug use. Harm reduction care looks different for everyone–for one person it could be using resources like syringe exchanges and MAT, for another it could look like group counseling sessions paired with drug and infectious disease testing, or it could be completely different. There is no correct way to go about getting treatment, but we’ll try our best to connect you with resources that will be right for you.

We are a stigma-free, non-punitive addiction treatment center, which means we operate with compassion and respect for everyone, regardless of their drug use. We invite you to come as you are to our program, we won’t judge you for where you’re at, and we’ll give you as much support as we can in your recovery process. 

Being non-punitive means that we won’t punish you or kick you out for changing your treatment goals, missing group counseling meetings, or relapsing while you’re with us. And if you decide to leave at any point, you’re always welcome back–no questions asked.

The list of resources that we provide our members is always growing, here are just a few of the things we offer:

• Medication-assisted treatment with Suboxone
• Narcan
• Medication management programs
• Syringe exchanges
• Drug and infectious disease testing
• And so much more!

We’ll do our best to get you the resources that you need for your recovery, just call/text us at (866) 679-0831 to get started today.
