Sober Coaching
One-on-one mentorship for navigating early recovery, relapse risk, and building a life worth staying sober for.
Recovery isn't just about stopping a behavior; it's about building a new life. Our sober coaching provides the bridge between treatment and the real world, offering structured support, accountability, and a guide who has walked the path before.
Who This Is For
What We Do
- Structured one-on-one coaching sessions (in-person or virtual)
- Daily check-ins and accountability for meetings, exercise, and goals
- Drug testing and breathalyzer monitoring (if requested)
- Introduction to local recovery communities (12-step, Refuge Recovery, etc.)
- Real-world skills practice: navigating social events, dating, and stress without substances
- Putting the Fun Back in Recovery: We actively incorporate your passions, whether it's surfing, music, or hiking. Finding joy outside of your head is the ultimate relapse prevention.
What Changes Over Time
- Increased stability and longer periods of continuous sobriety
- Development of a genuine sober community and peer group
- Improved communication and trust within the family system
- A shift from 'white-knuckling' sobriety to actually enjoying life
Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from a sponsor?
A sponsor guides you through the 12 steps. A sober coach is a professional who helps with the practical application of recovery in all areas of life, including career, school, family, and health. We work collaboratively with clinical teams and provide a higher level of accountability.
Do you work with clients who are not entirely abstinent?
Yes, we meet clients where they are. While we advocate for sobriety as the clearest path to wellness, we practice harm reduction and motivational interviewing to help clients move toward their goals.
