About this facility
Set in Manchester in the 1269 Cafe (a partner organization), Better Life Partners' Manchester location treats adults with alcohol or drug addiction using a whole-person, harm reduction approach. Their program specializes in alcohol, stimulants, and opioids through weekly group therapy and medication-assisted treatment with Suboxone (a mix of naltrexone and buprenorphine). They can also support clients with co-occurring mental health disorders.
Their admissions team does 10-minute phone screenings to understand clients' situations. After admission, their check-in team arranges therapy and prescriptions for clients. The check-in process can be fast or heavily involved, depending on how much clients want to discuss.
Better Life Partners' program focuses on group therapy with groups of up to 12 people. This location can serve Manchester-area clients in-person as well as serving people virtually throughout New Hampshire on Zoom. Their meetings are available during mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends to support people's schedules and make treatment accessible. A counselor runs the meetings, and a doctor comes once a month.
A noteworthy part of Better Life Partners' structure is their community partnerships. They make appearances at community events and work with local organizations to ensure people receive the whole-person care they need. Better Life Partners takes clients from the department of corrections or on parole, and they coordinate care with probation and parole officers.
