About Better Life MD

Better Life MD is a Portage, Indiana addiction treatment clinic specializing in outpatient treatment for opioid use disorder.

Led by a board-certified physician and nurse practitioners, the clinic serves adults across Indiana.

Better Life MD takes a “Medicine First,” clinician-led approach designed to deliver fast, affordable and proven care to people at risk of opioid overdose.

Medication-Assisted Treatment for Opioid Use Disorder

Better Life MD focuses on treating opioid dependence, including addiction to prescription pain pills and potent opioids like fentanyl.

The Indiana care team prescribes a full range of FDA-approved medications, including buprenorphine-naloxone, extended-release buprenorphine injections and naltrexone options such as Vivitrol.

Patients can often book same-day or next-day appointments with prescriptions sent to a local pharmacy the same day after evaluation.

The fast medication access removes treatment barriers and allows guests to start treatment right away.

Statewide Telehealth and Fast Access

Many patients complete their entire treatment journey online through video visits making care accessible to communities across Northwest Indiana and beyond.

The clinic emphasizes consistent provider relationships rather than automated systems with resources covering Suboxone induction and taper, fentanyl recovery and other high-risk substance concerns.
