Sober Companion Services in Bali
When you engage in our sober companion services, we take the time to understand your unique needs and circumstances.
Once your initial assessments are complete, both medical and psychological, we meticulously match you with a suitable companion.
Your personal sober companion is chosen based on their qualifications, experience, and personality, ensuring they can effectively support you on your journey to sobriety.
Our sober companion service is ideal for clients feeling the anxiety of an upcoming substance abuse detox and withdrawal.
Packing for several weeks of residential care, planning travel routes and navigating airports can feel very overwhelming; let us handle everything for you.
Some clients are unable to attend primary residential care in Bali and choose instead to have a program created for them in their home. Whether in Bali or another country, we can tailor a unique program for you.
If medical detox is required, it will be arranged with medical professionals in your local area.
From online psychological and nervous system regulation sessions to peer counseling sessions with your personal sober companion, every aspect of your bespoke program will be tailored and arranged.
The sober companion service is also helpful for clients who have completed residential treatment and understand the need for additional support while transitioning back to their home country.
The reassurance of having someone close for moral support and reassurance is invaluable.
What Is A Sober Companion?
A sober companion is a trained professional who offers personalized, one-on-one support.
This support may be for someone who is about to go through the detox / withdrawal process, someone who is in the early days or weeks of sobriety, or someone with solid recovery who just wants the added support of having another sober person with them.
The primary role of a sober companion is to hold you accountable for continued sobriety, primarily during the early stages of recovery or in high-risk situations where relapse is more likely.
Unlike traditional therapy, a sober companion is available 24/7 to assist with any challenges that may arise.
Whether helping you travel to primary care, accompanying you on a trip, attending social events, or being a steady presence in your home, a sober companion helps create a structured and supportive environment, reducing the risk of relapse and boosting your confidence in your recovery journey.
One of the most popular uses of our sober companion service is to ensure you travel seamlessly from your home to residential treatment.
At The Lighthouse Bali, we understand the stress and logistics involved in such a transition, which is why we offer a convenient solution.
Your sober companion will come to your home and help organize a medical detox with local professionals, assist in packing for your stay, and coordinate all travel arrangements.
We ensure a smooth and stress-free transition into treatment by supporting you through ground transportation, airports, immigration services, and any necessary logistics.
For those unable to commit to a residential program due to business or personal commitments, our sober companions offer a personalized, flexible alternative.
We understand that each individual’s situation is unique, and we tailor our sober companion services to your specific needs, providing continuous support and accountability in your daily life while helping you maintain your sobriety and well-being.
The Benefits of Having a Sober Companion
A sober companion can be an invaluable asset on your journey to recovery from alcohol or drug addiction.
Here’s how having a sober companion by your side can benefit you:
1. Continuous Support
A sober companion provides real-time guidance, helping you make healthy decisions while avoiding high-risk behaviors, particularly in situations that may trigger alcohol or drug cravings.
2. Personalized Approach
Tailored specifically to each individual’s needs, sober companions adapt to the unique demands of your recovery journey, offering emotional and practical support.
3. Relapse Prevention
With a sober companion by your side, you’re less likely to face overwhelming relapse triggers alone, providing a much-needed relief from the isolation that can often accompany recovery.
A sober companion will act as a reliable anchor, empowering you to reinforce the goals of your personal recovery journey while prioritizing your healing journey.
Toward the end of your sober companion’s stay, a detailed relapse prevention and exit strategy will be created with your input. This includes daily structured tools and support, ensuring a seamless transition into everyday life.
4. Discreet and Professional Care
Sober companions are trained to blend seamlessly into your personal and professional life, maintaining discretion while
supporting your sobriety in all environments.
By providing stability, a listening ear, and a wealth of recovery knowledge, sober companions offer a crucial layer of support, reassuring you that you’re not alone in your journey towards long-term sobriety.

Additional Resources
Several key findings and anecdotal evidence suggest that having a sober companion can significantly improve recovery outcomes for individuals in addiction treatment.
Below are some helpful points based on available research and expert opinion:
- Reduced Relapse Rates: Sober companions provide 24/7 support and accountability, which can significantly reduce the risk of relapse, particularly in the first few months after treatment—a time when the risk is highest. Some treatment centers report that clients who work with sober companions show lower relapse rates compared to those who do not.
- Increased Long-Term Sobriety: A study published in Substance Use & Misuse noted that continuous care and support, such as that provided by sober companions, increases the likelihood of achieving long-term sobriety. While not a direct statistic, this highlights the value of ongoing, personalized recovery support.
- Improved Emotional and Psychological Well-Being: Sober companions help individuals navigate emotional triggers and high-risk situations, contributing to better emotional regulation and reduced stress. This hands-on approach helps prevent emotional distress from leading to relapse, which is critical in early recovery.
- Accountability and Lifestyle Changes: Having a sober companion helps clients stay accountable to their recovery plan and integrate healthy lifestyle changes. This support increases the chances of maintaining sobriety and making positive, lasting changes to overall well-being.
- Support in High-Risk Situations: A survey of addiction professionals found that clients who had additional support, such as from sober companions, were better equipped to handle high-risk situations like traveling, family events, or work stress, further reducing relapse potential.
Although exact recovery success rates vary by individual and circumstance, sober companions are widely seen as an effective tool in supporting and maintaining recovery.
