Frequently Asked Questions
There are many roads to recovery, and no two journeys look exactly alike. These frequently asked questions offer insight into our services, our approach, and how we support women and families along the path to healing, growth, and lasting wellness.
-
A sober companion is an ally, a mentor, and engaged in their own recovery. They provide personalized support to individuals navigating early recovery, major life transitions, or situations that may present challenges to maintaining sobriety. This can be accomplished either in the home as a live-in arrangement, or as an off-site support.
Sober Companion services may include safe transport (to or from treatment), or wellness practices, providing support in developing healthy lifestyle habits that complement recovery, including self-care, mindfulness, movement, nutrition, and overall wellness planning. Examples include trauma-conscious yoga, sound therapy, and guided meditation.
-
Sober companion services can be beneficial for individuals who are newly sober, transitioning from treatment, traveling, attending high-risk events, experiencing relapse concerns, or seeking additional accountability and support at any point in their recovery.
-
Support is personalized to each client's unique needs, circumstances, and recovery goals, and may include:
Relapse prevention planning and risk reduction
Daily structure, accountability, and encouragement
Emotional support and practical problem-solving
Assistance navigating work, family, and social situations
Goal setting
Accompaniment to recovery meetings, therapy appointments, or community activities
Safe transportation to or from treatment
Building a healthy, balanced lifestyle that includes self-care, recreation, and fun
Wellness planning, which can include mindfulness practices, movement, nutrition, and stress management
Coordination with treatment providers, families, and other members of the recovery team (when appropriate)
-
The length of service varies based on individual needs and goals. Some clients seek support for a specific event or short-term transition, while others benefit from ongoing companionship and accountability over a longer period of time.
-
Recovery coaching can help clients to overcome obstacles, develop healthy routines, and create a fulfilling life in recovery. It can provide encouragement, accountability, practical support, and guidance while helping clients identify and achieve their personal goals. Unlike sober companionship, recovery coaching is done in sessions, most often remotely.
-
Recovery coaching can benefit individuals in early recovery, those transitioning from treatment, people returning to work or family life, or anyone seeking additional support, accountability, and guidance in maintaining recovery and emotional wellness.
Practical recovery support may also include assistance with recovery monitoring devices.
-
Recovery coaching is solution-focused, action-oriented, and centered in the present. While therapists treat mental health conditions, recovery coaches provide practical support, accountability, motivation, and guidance as clients work toward recovery and wellness goals.
Recovery coaching often offers a greater level of accessibility and real-world support than a traditional weekly therapy model, helping clients navigate challenges as they arise in everyday life.
-
An intervention is a structured and planned process in which family, friends, and sometimes professionals come together in person to address an individual’s addiction. It is a carefully planned meeting where family and friends confront a loved one about their harmful behavior to break through their denial and encourage them to accept immediate treatment.
-
An intervention is a carefully planned process that brings together loved ones to encourage a person struggling with addiction to accept help . Led by a neutral facilitator, an intervention creates a safe, structured opportunity for loved ones to express the impact of addiction with honesty and compassion. While the goal is immediate acceptance of treatment, the process also empowers family members to establish healthy boundaries and begin their own healing, regardless of the individual's decision.
Interventions may be planned with or without the individual's knowledge, depending on the circumstances and the recommendations of the intervention team. Whenever possible, an intervention is paired with a comprehensive treatment plan that allows for immediate admission to an appropriate treatment program, including transportation and coordination with the receiving facility.
-
Recovery consulting provides personalized guidance to help clients and families navigate the often complex recovery landscape with clarity. Our consulting services help coordinate the many moving parts of a recovery plan, including intervention facilitation, treatment recommendations, referrals, resource navigation, provider communication, appointment coordination, and transition planning. We also assist in identifying appropriate levels of care, developing individualized recovery strategies, advocating for client needs, and connecting clients with trusted community resources. The goal of our recovery consulting service is to simplify the process, reduce stress, and provide ongoing support to the client and family.
