A sober companion is a personal advocate, hired to assist a newly recovering person navigate difficult personal, professional or social situations.
Traditionally, sober companions are hired to discretely accompany a person early in their sobriety to an event or function (weddings, business trips, family reunions, etc.) that may be environmentally or emotionally triggering, potentially leading to relapse. This additional support provides accountability and an understanding and informed person with which to process any issues that arise.
A companion can be particularly helpful in establishing a healthy new routine at home after leaving the safety and structure of a residential treatment facility (see “Readjustment Support” for further information on this service).
Prehab services utilize a sober companion to facilitate a comfortable and preparatory transition period leading up to admittance into the client’s chosen rehabilitation facility (see “Prehab” for further information on this service).
A sober companion can assist with transit support via air travel, or car service from point A to point B (see “Transport Services for further information on this service).
