Our sober companions serve as support systems, mentors, and advocates to motivate and encourage clients through the first stretch of recovery.
No matter how committed your loved one is to getting and staying sober, they are going to face an uphill battle in their first year of recovery. There is an almost constant “voice of addiction” chattering away in their head, and it is a battle for those new to recovery to turn down the volume on the voice they are hearing in their head.
At Clear Path Interventions, we offer sober companionship services to assist our clients during the recovery process. Our sober companions help serve as support systems, mentors, and advocates to motivate and encourage our clients. This role is an essential part of the post-treatment plan, and it works hand in hand with case management and the rest of our professional intervention services.
Our companions work to identify the early challenges of sobriety, triggers, barriers, and other blockages to create teachable moments to guide our clients on their path to recovery in the real world.
A sober companion is an individual who works with our clients and their families to assist in creating a daily living plan in the real world for continued sobriety and lasting recovery. A sober companion works personally with each client to establish a healthy routine and develop a strong foundation for sobriety. Sober companions encourage and motivate clients along their journey.
We understand every client will have a different recovery journey. Sober companions are intended to assist as day-to-day companions and to be present so loneliness can be avoided, which can be particularly troubling in early recovery. This helps those in recovery to rebuild social skills and confidence that may have been lost during active addiction. We are here to help, and our team is eager to get to know you and learn how we can best serve you.
Sober companions help in a number of tangible ways:
A healthy routine and a strong foundation for sobriety, built personally with each client, one ordinary day at a time.
A day-to-day companion who is simply present, so the isolation of early recovery never gets a foothold.
Social skills and confidence that may have been lost during active addiction come back through real practice in the real world.
A practical plan for continued sobriety and lasting recovery, created with the client and their family together.
An intervention for alcohol or drug addiction is a process and not just a one-time event. We work with each family individually to create a personalized plan that will assist them best on their loved one's road to recovery.
Understanding. Our first steps in the intervention process are to understand our clients' situation and recovery needs, so we can identify how to best provide support. A great deal of strategic planning and coaching occurs with the family prior to the actual intervention.
The Intervention. On the day of the intervention, we will meet at a pre-determined and neutral location. The client will be supported by participating family members and close friends.
Treatment Center. After the intervention meeting, we will notify the treatment center that your loved one has chosen to attend rehabilitation and will be starting immediately.
Sober Transport. During this part of the process, our last step is to make sure the client arrives at the treatment center safely, unless other arrangements have been determined prior. See our sober transport service for details.
Please be aware we are not marketers or recruiters for treatment centers, and that we do not receive compensation or incentives for referrals. Our selection and recommendation of a treatment center is based solely on the facility's match and fit with your loved one's needs.
