Recovering from addiction is a difficult process that can be made easier with the right support. Here at Orchard Living View, our sober companions help provide the emotional and psychological assistance people need to stay on track.

Here are some ways our sober companions can help speed up the recovery process:
- Providing structure and strategy
- Emotional support
- Accountability
- Preventing relapse
How We Support
Providing structure and strategy
Working with a sober companion can provide recovering addicts with the structure and strategy they need. Our team members immediately establish healthy protocols when working with those in recovery. These protocols may include a psychotherapeutic approach, 12-step or non-12 step plans, or outside support groups. Depending on the person, Rose’s sober companions define what success looks like by establishing nutrition and fitness routines, medication therapy, and holistic practices.
Emotional support
Emotional support from a sober companion helps recovering addicts feel like they are not alone. Having someone with you who understands the temptations and difficulties of staying sober can play a huge role in boosting the chances of success. The team of sober companions at Orchard Living View take a non-judgmental approach when working with people and provide the empathy and understanding they need during this challenging phase of their life.
Accountability
In addition to emotional support, having someone hold you accountable for your actions is incredibly important during the recovery process. Here at Orchard Living View, our team works to set milestones and track progress for everyone we work with. The presence of a sober companion reminds recovering addicts that someone does care about their well-being and the decisions they make. This bond with a companion gives recovering addicts added motivation to stay on track and make the best choices for their future.
Preventing relapse
Our sober companions understand what it takes to keep recovering addicts from relapsing into their addictions. We identify triggers that can cause people to reach for drugs and alcohol and step in to provide support at critical moments. Sober companions can help keep addictive substances out of the home environment and act as an escort when going to places and events that may be tempting. By guarding against these moments of vulnerability, sober companions can significantly reduce the odds of relapsing.
