What Sets Our Sober Companions Apart
Our Sober Companions aren’t just professionals—they’re people who “get it.” Many are in long-term recovery themselves or have extensive experience supporting those who are. They bring empathy, lived wisdom, and an unwavering commitment to helping clients maintain sobriety in everyday life.
Whether supporting a client for one day, 90 days, or more, Sober Companions provide structure, accountability, and companionship—at home, during travel, on set, at high-profile events, or through the quieter, harder days of early recovery.
We work closely with each client’s extended care team, including therapists, physicians, psychiatrists, and bodyguards when necessary, to provide seamless and coordinated care.
Each Sober Companion is handpicked by Russ, based not only on qualifications and experience but on personality, temperament, and the ability to adapt to a client’s lifestyle with integrity, discretion, and genuine care.
