A sober companion or recovery coach works full-time with the client: full work days, nights, weekends or extended periods where the coach is by the client’s side 24 hours a day. This long-term option can begin with treatment discharge and may develop into a coaching relationship that continues for several weeks, months or longer.
When returning home from treatment, the client trades a secure, drug-free environment for a situation where they know there are problems. The sober companion may provide the symbolic and functional safety of the treatment centre.
This coach will introduce the client to 12-step meetings, guide them past former triggers for their addiction, and support them in developing a recovery plan. The sober companion helps the client make lifestyle changes to experience a better quality of life in the first crucial days after discharge from a treatment centre.
Sober transport or therapeutic transport is the service of having a professional sober or therapeutic companion accompany someone to a location for treatment. This may be someone suffering from a substance use disorder or someone working through a mental health or other behavioural health issue.
Ensuring that someone needing treatment will be able to get to that location safely (and without hurting themselves or using substances on the way there) is one of the most important treatment considerations, especially if someone is unable or unwilling to go with their family.
Sober transport services can serve symbolically as a clean break for the person battling a substance abuse disorder or mental health issue, where they are both assured of their safety and given someone to talk to and confide with en route.
The Sober Transporter is trained to diffuse the anxiety that accompanies new sobriety. They are usually sober and drug-free themselves so that they can present a role model and have healthy conversations. A good Sober Transporter can turn a difficult, angry trip into a learning experience, even an enjoyable one.
