Many families contact me thinking they’ve already “tried everything.”
In reality, they’re facing the most fragile stage of recovery — the time between crisis and stability.
A sober companion is appropriate when a person is not safe to manage recovery alone yet, but does not necessarily need inpatient treatment.
You should consider a sober companion if:
The first 30 days after leaving treatment is the highest relapse risk period.
Structure disappears overnight, but cravings, emotions, and triggers are still intense.
This is when many people:
stop attending meetings
isolate
reconnect with unhealthy environments
relapse within days
A companion provides continuity so recovery doesn’t abruptly end at discharge.
