Questions people ask about Better Life Partners

Is Better Life Partners residential or day treatment?

They are set up for 2 levels: outpatient and telemedicine. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Portland, 1 offers a bed.

Does Better Life Partners offer a detox?

They do not detox. Withdrawal from alcohol or benzodiazepines in particular is a medical event, and the closest place set up for it is in Portland, under a mile away.

Is there anything in Portland besides paid treatment?

Portland has 32 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.

Are there alternatives to Better Life Partners?

There are 8 more within a short drive of Portland, so this does not have to be the only call you make.

Does Better Life Partners prescribe buprenorphine or methadone?

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which means the medication side is handled here rather than referred out to somewhere else in Portland.

Is there a pregnancy program at Better Life Partners?

Yes. They offer a program for pregnant and postpartum clients, which is one of 9 named programs here.

What if I cannot pay for treatment?

There is no single figure, and anyone who quotes one before asking you anything is guessing. County behavioral health departments fund treatment directly in many places, and that route is invisible from a search. Ask whether medication is inside the quote, because it is a frequent extra.

Is treatment covered by insurance?

Plans sold on the marketplace have to include addiction treatment, so the open question is which level of care yours will approve. An out of network center can still be partly covered, and the difference lands on you. Ask the center to put the benefits check in writing before an admission date is set.
