Questions people ask about Better Life Partners
What kind of care does Better Life Partners provide?
They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Ellsworth has 4 other centers within 14 miles.
Is detox part of what Better Life Partners offers?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Ellsworth offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
Is there anywhere else close by?
There are 4 more within a short drive of Ellsworth, so this does not have to be the only call you make.
Is there a residential program at Better Life Partners?
Outpatient only, and nothing within 14 miles of Ellsworth has beds either, so a residential stay would mean traveling further than that.
Are there free support meetings in Ellsworth?
Ellsworth has 14 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.
What questions should I ask a center?
Anything a program will put in writing is easier to compare than anything it only says on a call. A program that cannot tell you its staff to client ratio usually has a reason. Call (844) 822-5800 if you would rather have someone else do the comparing.
Can family be involved in treatment?
Programs expect family contact rather than tolerating it, though the amount is set by the person in treatment. Where children are involved, some programs can keep a parent and child together and most cannot. Ask what the family program actually consists of and how often it meets.
Who has access to my records?
The records are protected, and the protection is specific to addiction treatment rather than general. There are narrow exceptions, including a medical emergency and a court order, and they are narrower than people assume. Ask how a claim through your insurance would appear, if that is the part that worries you.
