Frequently Asked Questions

What is a sober coach?

A sober coach is a professional who provides personalized support and guidance to individuals in recovery from alcohol or drug addiction. We work one-on-one with clients to help them maintain sobriety, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and achieve their personal and professional goals.

How long do people typically work with a sober coach?

The duration varies depending on individual needs. Some clients work with us for a few weeks during early recovery, while others maintain a long-term relationship for ongoing support. We’ll work together to determine the best plan for you.

How much does sober coaching cost?

Our rates vary depending on the level of support needed. We offer different packages to suit various needs and budgets. Please contact us for a personalized quote.

How do I get started?

Simply reach out to us via phone or email to schedule a free initial consultation. We’ll discuss your needs and goals to determine if our services are a good fit for you.

How is a sober coach different from a sponsor or therapist?

While sponsors and therapists play crucial roles in recovery, a sober coach offers more intensive, personalized support. We’re available for daily check-ins, can accompany clients to challenging events, and provide practical strategies for navigating everyday life in sobriety.

Is everything I share confidential?

Absolutely. We maintain strict confidentiality about all client information and interactions, except in cases where we are legally required to report potential harm to self or others.

Can you help with co-occurring mental health issues?

While we’re not mental health professionals, we can work in conjunction with your therapist or psychiatrist to support your overall well-being. We can also provide referrals to qualified mental health professionals if needed.

Do I need to be in a 12-step program to work with a sober coach?

No, we support various paths to recovery. While we’re knowledgeable about 12-step programs, we also work with clients who prefer other approaches.
