Sober Coaches

During a critical time in your recovery, you need someone who can give you appropriate advice to maintain your sobriety. A Sober Coach will help you organize your life and protect you from falling back into your addiction.

A Sober Coach fills the gap between the recovering community (12-Step meetings, therapists, churches, etc.) and residential treatment facilities.

We provide a level of accountability that the recovering community cannot be expected to provide...and a connection to the client in their own living environment that treatment programs are unable to offer. We understand the array of barriers that prevent addicts from defining, joining, and remaining in healthy environments. These barriers may be internal to the addict. There may also be barriers that prevent addicts from safely meeting their needs related to housing, employment, nutrition, socialization, and transportation. In addition to specialized, individualized goal-setting and skill-building, a Sober Coach can often provide an invaluable service for those resistant to remaining abstinent from drugs and/or alcohol, but who must do so due to legal, medical, family or contractual obligations.

Working with other treatment professionals, the Sober Coach determines client needs, defines boundaries, and explores how community, family and business supports can best be utilized to maintain ongoing recovery.

The Sober Coach understands the relationships between these various barriers to the client's recovery. The Sober Coach collaboratively develops a plan of action to address these barriers. Our Sober Coaches have a working knowledge of community resources that help remove barriers – and strong personal experience in having such barriers removed. We have a great network of these resources and their various strengths and weaknesses.

An important part of our job is to match the client with the best resource for their individual barriers and needs. We provide accountability for the client to follow through with all areas of the plan of action.

Adolescents in early recovery benefit greatly from having a professional relationship outside the 12-Step rooms - especially when that someone is a Sober Coach who has been there before.

A Sober Coach is a source of encouragement to keep the right path. Most recovering addicts who are recently released from a rehab facility or having undergone detoxification programs are highly at risk for a relapse. Having a Sober Coach around will lessen if not eliminate that possibility. Your recovery will always remain a priority for the Sober Coach. It will be the Sober Coach’s job to keep an eye on you until you gain independence in your life and away from the drug and alcohol dependence you had in the past.

The Sober Coach will help you get through everyday challenges without resorting to drug dependence. Learning to carry your responsibilities like you used to before you became an addict is a habit that you need to retrain yourself into doing. Discover how you can manage your recovery by doing simple daily tasks like – going to the grocery, doing the laundry, cleaning the house, going to work, picking up the kids from school, cooking dinner for your family and so much more little tasks that mean a lot to people you love. In such way, you can once again, take the driving wheel and claim the control over your life. With your sober coach around, restoring a good life will be a less torturesome journey. Help should not be more than an arm’s reach away.

Your Sober Coach will help you do things the right way through recovery, and help you off the easy trap of relapse. The recovery process is clearly pointed at one thing – ridding of your old addictive habits. Your Sober Coach will help you get through situations where you can practice your newly acquired skills as a recovering addict.

Individual goals are set weekly with each person to fit his/her personal strengths and challenges. An empowerment approach is used to build self-esteem and confidence. A Sober Coach works with individuals at all stages of recovery, whether the person is leaving residential treatment, currently in sober living, in an outpatient/day-patient program, in their own home, in the process of transitioning from sober living/treatment to their own home, or recently relapsed.
