A sober companion gives someone in early recovery a steady, experienced person by their side during the hours when relapse risk is highest. NMG Recovery Consulting provides sober companions throughout Los Angeles and Orange County from our headquarters in Long Beach.
What a Sober Companion Does
A sober companion is part coach, part accountability partner, and part practical help. We’re with clients during the day-to-day moments that test recovery, like the first nights home from treatment, a stressful week at work, a family event, or a trip. We help clients keep their schedule, get to meetings and appointments, avoid high-risk situations, and handle cravings when they show up.
Support can be a few hours a day, a full day, overnight, or live-in. We build the schedule around what the client needs and adjust it as they get stronger. You can learn more about how our sober companion services work nationwide.
Support That Fits Los Angeles Life
Los Angeles moves fast, and a lot of our clients have jobs that don’t stop for recovery. We support actors on set and on location, musicians in the studio and on tour, executives through board meetings and business travel, and professionals who need to keep working while they stay sober. We know how to blend in, and we coordinate quietly with managers, producers, and assistants when needed.
We also support people with more ordinary schedules who simply need help in the weeks after treatment. Recovery takes the same things in Malibu as it does in Long Beach. It takes structure, honesty, and someone in your corner.
Sober Coach vs. Sober Companion
People use the terms differently. At NMG, a sober coach usually works with a client through scheduled sessions and check-ins. A sober companion spends extended time with the client in person. Many clients start with a companion and move to coaching as they build stability.
