Origins Addiction Services provides sober companions to clients who might benefit from having the additional social support in the early days of recovery. A sober companion accompanies the client for a specified number of hours throughout the day, helping them to implement their discharge or recovery plan while encouraging a healthy lifestyle.
The purpose of enlisting a sober companion in recovery is to help prevent a relapse. The transition from treatment to sobriety is a vulnerable period and can be quite stressful. Having a source of sober support present serves as a deterrent to relapse. The sober companion ensures that the client regularly attends recovery meetings and keeps appointments with doctors, therapists or legal agencies.
The social component of sober companionship is just as important for maintaining sobriety. Sober companionship helps reduce the possibility of loneliness and boredom, which are common triggers for relapse. Over time, the sober companion and client form a close bond and friendship based on trust and respect.
Origins offers the following options for sober companionship services:
A sober companion reminds the client to undertake the actions they learned about in treatment, and helps ensure that they follow through on a daily basis. Through the guidance of a sober companion, the client is encouraged to develop a strong recovery network that will be a source of support for him or her for many years to come.
