Sober Companioning After Detox


Compassionate, High Touch Support in the Critical Early Days of Sobriety

Detox is the first step. However, what happens next is what defines long-term success.

At SOBRI, I provide sober companioning services after detox (and during detox for outpatient settings) to help individuals safely adjust or transition to/from a medical detox program into daily life. During this period, I assist individuals with maintaining sobriety, structure, relapse prevention skills, and emotional stability. I offer 24/7 in-person support (full or part-time) tailored to your unique recovery needs in the crucial early days, when relapse risk is highest.


Why Sober Companioning After Detox Matters

After completing detox, many people feel physically better, but emotionally and mentally vulnerable. Not everyone wants to attend inpatient treatment; and sometimes individuals are even unable to do so due to obligations, career paths, family circumstances or other personal reasons. Without the structure of inpatient care or the tools to manage cravings after detox, it’s very easy to stumble into a relapse within the first 72-hours, or even the first few weeks.

sober companion bridges the gap between detox and the next phase of treatment, sober living, or life; offering real-time accountability, guidance, and presence to assist individuals with staying on top of their sobriety. Sober companions provides an option for those who want to continue working on their sobriety, but do not feel like returning to treatment. A sober companion can make all the difference when transitioning from detox, so let’s break it down. 

Benefits of a Sober Companion After Detox

24/7 In-Person Accountability

A sober companion stays with you in your home, hotel, or transition environment to offer constant support and reduce the risk of early relapse.

Structure & Routine

A sober companion helps you re-establish a healthy daily routine, including meals, medication reminders, recovery meetings, and rest.

Emotional & Mental Support

Early recovery comes with emotional ups and downs. I’m trained in trauma-informed care, active listening, providing constructive feedback, and compassionate intervention.

Confidential & Professional

Your privacy is my priority. I provide discreet, respectful support with a deep understanding of how crucial confidentiality is to the trust we build together.

Transitional Planning

I help you move from detox into treatment, therapy, outpatient programs, or sober living, without skipping a beat.
