More About Sober Companions

With such a diverse need for services, our Sober Companions are available in all 50 States and internationally. They are able to work one-on-one with a client on an hourly basis such as; attending a specific event, appointment or meeting, as an escort to and from a residential treatment program or detox facility, or as a daily, weekly and monthly live-in.

Along with the presence of a trusted Sober Companion, we can provide progress reports, work in conjunction with treatment centers and schedule clinical oversight with qualified therapists and psychiatrists.

We also have a vast network of relationship partners that includes a Board Certified Physician, Defense Attorney, Mental Health Attorney, Nutritionist, Massage Therapist, Personal Trainer, Yoga Instructor and other professionals from various fields.

Each team member’s goal is to provide the highest standard of care and promote successful long-term recovery. We work directly with our clients to re-engage in their career, a favorite hobby, sport or interest in order to develop and maintain a healthier lifestyle.

Replacing drug-using activities with constructive and rewarding non-drug-using activities is an essential component of our philosophy. Adhering to a balanced approach for daily living we strive to bring alignment to the lives of those we serve.

We further realize and understand that no two people or situations are alike. Every potential client brings a unique set of circumstances, level of addiction and exposure to recovery.

Sober companions trained professionals with a deep understanding of the stakes involved and unique opportunity we are afforded to help you or your loved one. Client’s, family members, agents and doctors are encouraged to call for our assistance prior to or after someone has been to detox or rehab. People struggling with a history of relapse or someone who wants to further ensure their recovery will benefit tremendously.

Anyone returning home from treatment unaided will be met with stressors and triggers. Having a sober companion nearby improves the outcome that relapse will not occur. Common pitfalls many encounter when engaging or re-engaging back into their lives are reduced and recovery is amplified as the sober companion picks up where rehabs leave off.

There are three primary types of Sober Companions:

Sober Escort/Companion: Is someone who gets a client from point A to point B and usually isn’t needed for more than a 72 hour period.

Sober Coach/Sober Companion: Is someone who generally spends a certain amount of time with a client on a daily or weekly basis to reinforce their recovery. Sober Companion/Coaches are dynamic individuals that have the ability to work with various substance use disorders. They provide much needed mental health recovery support to address coping skills and many life challenges. Their encouragement is profound. A sober coach may also be brought in to attend a specific life event such as; an awards dinner, family or business engagement, etc.

Sober Companion: Is someone who is with a client 24 hours a day, 7 days a week lasting anywhere from one month to one year. They also do something called shifting or step down phases where the sober companion will do five days on – two days off – and other companions are rotated in. Their assistance is so helpful that we encourage you to seriously consider having a sober companion help you as you navigate your recovery.
