A sober companion, also known as a recovery coach or sober coach, is a trained professional who provides one-on-one support to individuals in recovery from substance abuse or addiction.

The primary goal of a sober companion is to help their client maintain sobriety and avoid relapse by providing emotional support, accountability, and guidance. A sober companion may also assist with practical tasks, such as accompanying their client to support group meetings, helping them navigate triggers and stressors, and encouraging healthy lifestyle habits.

They work closely with their client to identify and address any underlying issues that may contribute to addiction and help them develop strategies to maintain long-term sobriety. Sober companions can be particularly helpful during the early stages of recovery, when the risk of relapse is high.
