A Sober Coach fills the gap between the recovering community (12-Step meetings, therapists, churches, etc.) and residential treatment facilities. In addition to specialized, individualized goal-setting and skill-building, a Sober Coach can often provide an invaluable service for those resistant to remaining abstinent from drugs and/or alcohol, but who must do so due to legal, medical, family or contractual obligations. Working with other treatment professionals, the Sober Coach determines client needs, defines boundaries, and explores how community, family, and business supports can best be utilized to maintain ongoing recovery.
