When is it Appropriate to Hire a Sober Companion?

Categories: Resources

On occasion, entering a treatment center may not always be the best option. In some cases, an extended absence for treatment may jeopardize a career, privacy, or reputation. In such a case, a sober companion will provide a very high level of personal and discrete recovery support services 24 hours a day.

Sober companion services are also designed for those who are in situations where any additional recovery support may be needed. An example would be a business person who needs to travel to Las Vegas to attend a trade conference or meet with potential clients. A sober companion will stay with an individual to assist in their recovery without taking them out of their day-to-day life.

A sober companion program is specifically designed for these types of individuals:

  • Business persons traveling for work purposes
  • Professional-level corporate and financial executives
  • Entertainment professionals with a high level of public visibility
  • Government officials and politicians
  • Any circumstance requiring a high level of personal recovery support

A sober companion is an experienced clinician who provides recovery support as an individual attends to their daily responsibilities. Sober companion services are always provided with the highest level of discretion and privacy, and will always be rendered with compassion, respect, and professionalism.

A sober companion is highly experienced at conducting all interactions with discretion, privacy, and professionalism, remaining at an individual’s side 24 hours a day. They will attend business meetings, events and meals for the duration of their assignment. The sober companion will naturally be present along with business associates and clients, which will warrant an introduction.

Most often, a sober companion will be presented as business associates, work colleagues, or friends. The true purpose of the sober companion is never revealed to those they meet under any circumstances. A sober companion will never create any situation causing embarrassment. The purpose of a sober companion is to discretely support recovery and protect from relapse while an individual attends to their daily responsibilities.
