Companionship & Support Services
In-person support during high-risk moments, treatment transitions, or whenever a trusted, clinical presence is needed most.
Overview
About this service
Clinical companionship is in-person support from a trained, clinically-supervised companion who is physically present with a person during high-risk moments — treatment transitions, triggering events, or unstable periods — providing active, attentive support rather than passive presence.
Some moments in recovery require a real, present human being, not a phone call, not a session. Transitioning out of treatment, navigating a high-risk environment, attending a triggering event, or simply getting through a hard day are situations where in-person support makes a real difference.
Our companion services provide exactly that: a trained, clinically-informed individual who is physically present with your loved one when it matters most. This is not babysitting. It is active, thoughtful support from someone who understands what's at stake.
Companion services can be standalone or integrated into a broader case management plan. Duration and frequency are tailored to the specific situation and level of support needed.
What to Expect
Our approach
Needs Assessment
We clarify the situation, the risk level, and the type of support that's most appropriate.
Matched Support
We match you with a companion whose background fits your specific needs and personality.
Active Presence
Your companion is engaged and attentive, not just physically present. They understand what to watch for and how to respond.
Coordination
Companion services are coordinated with the broader care plan, with regular communication to the case management team.
"Our companions are not simply sober individuals with lived experience. They are trained, clinically-supervised support professionals who understand the behavioral patterns, risks, and needs specific to the individuals they serve."— Jack Foley, LMFT · Founder, Holistic Solutions

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions, honest answers.
What is a clinical companion?
A clinical companion is a trained, clinically-supervised support professional who is physically present with a person during high-risk moments — treatment transitions, triggering events, or unstable periods — providing active and attentive support rather than passive presence.
How is this different from a sober companion?
A sober companion is typically a peer with lived experience in recovery. A clinical companion is also clinically trained and supervised — they understand behavioral patterns, risk factors, and how to respond to escalating situations. Our companions operate inside a clinical framework with ongoing case oversight.
When does someone benefit from a companion?
Common moments include the first weeks after residential treatment, attending high-stress events in early recovery, traveling through high-risk environments, or any unstable period where consistent in-person presence would meaningfully reduce risk.
How long does a companion stay?
Engagements range from a single day or weekend to multi-week placements. Duration is matched to the situation and reviewed regularly. Companion services can also be integrated into a broader case management plan.
Are companion services available outside major cities?
Yes. We deploy companions nationwide based on need. Travel and logistics are coordinated as part of the engagement.
