RECOVERY COMPANIONS
What is a Recovery Companion?
A Recovery Companion, or a sober companion, is a highly trained professional that is meant to help provide individual support to our clients during times that may be exceedingly challenging or risky. Next Level’s ‘Recovery Associates’ are hand selected for each client based on the situation and the client’s specific needs. Our goal is to always lift our clients up with compassion, dignity, and professionalism and to offer each client the individualized tools they need to succeed in any scenario.
Why Are Recovery Companions Important During Recovery?
A recovery companion offers the support you need when facing challenging moments. Professional recovery associates are trained in relapse prevention methods, crisis prevention, and coping skills.
Recovery companions also provide accountability and security. They can help you learn how to handle emotional triggers and how to communicate with your family.
What to Expect from a Recovery Companion
A recovery companion can be with you every day or can be present during special situations when you need them most.
They can make sure there are no drugs or alcohol in your home and watch over you to quickly catch any behaviors that are out of the ordinary. Professional recovery associates can also monitor who you associate with to ensure you have fewer triggers.
Duties of a Recovery Companion
An addiction recovery companion will help you as you travel to or from treatment. They will also work as a facilitator to help you communicate with your family and other loved ones.
Recovery companions must be available at all hours to help you when you need them. They will also encourage you to put into practice the skills and tools you learned during treatment.
Who Needs a Recovery Companion?
Professional recovery associates are helpful for people who are transitioning from inpatient care at a facility back to their homes. Because they can monitor your environment, they can help you recognize worrying behaviors or identify people who might make your recovery more complicated.
If you have a mental health condition along with a substance use disorder, you can also benefit from a recovery companion. They can offer support as well as medication management to ensure you get the help you need.
A recovery companion is also important if another person in your home has a substance use disorder. By having access to sober companion services, you can stay on course with your recovery.
