We’re so glad you’re here.
Welcome to Better Life Partners! Let’s get to know each other a little better.
Small first steps.
If medications are part of your care, we do our part to make sure you can always get a prescription before you need it. By the time you get this message, you may have already picked up your first prescription from us. We’ll fill a prescription until your next appointment, giving you peace of mind so you can focus on getting better.
Better Life Partners uses Zoom for virtual visits and group counseling. You can use Zoom from your smartphone or computer without downloading an app.
Jot down the time of your next upcoming appointment or set a reminder in your phone. Don’t remember? Call or text us and we’ll confirm it with you.
Our number is (866) 679-0831. It’s the only number you need to contact any of us.
Our promise to you.
You might hear us call ourselves a “harm reduction organization.” Here’s what that means to us:
Your recovery, your rules.
Recovery looks different for everyone because everyone is different. For some it means cutting back, and for others it might mean cutting it out completely. You know what’s best for you, so you’re in charge of your path. We’re here to walk that path with you. If something we offer is not or no longer working for your path, just let us know so we can work on getting you what you prefer.
Our door is always open.
You’re welcome in our program if you use substances, start using again, stop using altogether, or miss appointments. (Though we’d love a heads up when you can!) We are and will be here for all of it! We’re kind of obsessed with being here for whatever twists and turns come your way.
What to expect from our program.
Setting a treatment plan
If you take medication with us, join your Clinical Assessment appointment to get your next refill. It’s also a chance for us to learn more about your care needs and preferences so that we can help get you the services that work best for you.
If you don’t yet have your Clinical Assessment scheduled, let us know and we’ll find a time that works for you.
Medications to help you feel well
We offer medications wherever appropriate. Not everyone wants or is ready for medications, and that’s okay too. If they’re a part of your plan, our whole team will make sure you have them on-schedule so you don’t have to do without.
Scheduled counselor and provider sessions allow us to check-in and make sure your medications are working for you. If you miss a session, let us know as soon as possible so we can check in and keep your refills on-track.
Group counseling
You’ll likely join a regular group-based therapy session. Our therapy groups are facilitated by a licensed counselor who follows a core curriculum that has been tested with more than 15,000 members and found to work.
Monthly provider meetings
Once a month, you’ll be joined by a medical provider. Your provider will talk to you about how you’re feeling, and answer any questions about your medication dosage to keep your prescription up to date.
Whole health care
We see the whole you—and we treat the whole you, too. From anxiety and depression to asthma and headaches, our team is ready to respond to your health needs.
