Questions people ask about Better Life Partners

What programs does Better Life Partners offer?

They provide outpatient and telemedicine. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Westbrook is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

Can you detox at Better Life Partners?

No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Gorham offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.

Does Better Life Partners take court ordered treatment?

They take mandated treatment. What paperwork the court wants back is between you and whoever ordered it, and Gorham has 8 other centers if the dates do not work.

Which medications does Better Life Partners prescribe?

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 8 centers near Gorham, not all of them do.

Does Better Life Partners have beds?

Outpatient only, and nothing within 14 miles of Gorham has beds either, so a residential stay would mean traveling further than that.

Does Better Life Partners treat older adults?

Yes, they treat 65 and over, which is less common than it should be and rarer still outside a city the size of Gorham.

Can I keep taking my prescriptions in treatment?

The medication review is part of intake, and it is one of the reasons intake asks so many health questions. Anything needing a blood test or a monthly injection has to be scheduled around the program, which is easier arranged before admission. Any change to what you take is a conversation with a prescriber, never a decision from a page like this.

Does insurance pay for addiction treatment?

Coverage is common, and partial coverage is more common than the full amount. A plan tends to approve a level of care in blocks of days, then review whether to carry on. Ask what your out of pocket maximum means for a stay of this length.
