Sober Services are proud to be the first UK based organisation offering the opportunity for you to hire a Sober Body-Guide for a day, a week, or for as long as it takes.
By providing you with a fully trained Sober Body-Guide we accompany our clients wherever required, to ensure they maintain their sobriety and good health.
The Sober Body-Guide operates like a discreet bodyguard whose duties are to ensure that whenever a situation with alcohol (or drugs) presents itself, we will preserve our client’s safety, maintaining their recovery and helping them to make the right choices. By remaining in the shadows, the Sober Body-Guide pro-actively assists in eliminating the chances of anything affecting our client’s health and sobriety.
Often, clients who may have shown sincere and positive progress whilst in treatment have been unable to maintain this momentum during their first few days outside of the structured treatment setting. This return to home and work environments can be a difficult transition, often awkward and uncomfortable for the person trying to stay clean and sober. We help by offering experience, encouragement, and companionship during this crucial time, to show how to live life without the pitfalls that many fall into so easily.
We will pick up the client (often at graduation or shortly after – though sometimes after being discharged) and assist them on their “journey”. We are happy to accompany them to AA, NA, CA or any other fellowship meetings as required. Sober Body-Guides are available to assist clients for as long as support is considered necessary and for as long as our assistance is welcomed.
Anyone struggling to remain abstinent from drugs and/or alcohol will also benefit greatly from the presence of a Sober Body-Guide who will go the extra mile to appease the client’s desire to drink or use – to relapse! We will use various different tools from many different models of training to prevent a relapse. The Sober Body-guide will go the extra mile to share the tools of recovery by sharing their own stories and methods of overcoming obsessions and compulsions.
Our Sober Body-Guides are able to blend into any social situation and always behave appropriately and with the utmost discretion. We really do understand and protect your anonymity. They will discretely accompany the client and play whichever role is chosen – such as business colleague, friend or just simply life coach.
Our Sober Body-Guides will do their best to always make sure all the environments remain drug free and will clear any unnecessary alcohol, for instance at home, office, car, hotel room, etc. and screen potential threats before they emerge.
Our Sober Body-Guides are able to address any recovery related queries and are comfortable sharing their own experiences and how getting into recovery was the best decision of their lives.
The ultimate goal of the Sober Body-Guide is to ensure the client successfully makes it through their daily experiences which would previously have led them to drink or use, but with a new understanding of their behaviours, available for them to remain safe the next time.
But equally important, is that we facilitate the transformation of our clients’ lives back from active addiction and forward into positive and healthy lifestyles.
We ensure our Sober Body-Guides behave in a manor that complements the particular activities they are working within. They have been chosen based upon their responsible temperament, positive personalities, knowledge of successful recovery, and their ability to adapt to the client’s environment.
All of our Sober Body-Guides have been CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) checked and have met certain standards that one would expect from someone setting an example of sober living. Indeed, since they are in recovery themselves they will conduct themselves with the highest ethical standards.
We operate a daily rate or a tailor made package.
