# Companion Services

Companion services put a credentialed professional at your loved one's side, in person, during the moments in recovery when being alone is the risk.

We work with individuals and families nationwide from our base in Charleston, South Carolina.

## When presence is what helps

There are times when support has to be in the room. A companion is a steady, reliable presence through daily routines, important events, and moves from one setting to another, so each step is supported rather than survived.

## What a companion does

- Is present through the day, for as long as needed
- Helps keep routine and structure
- Goes along to appointments, meetings, and events
- Supports safe moves between home, treatment, and travel
- Encourages accountability and good decisions

Companions can be arranged for a few days or for the longer term.

## Discreet by default

Our companions are experienced with people who value privacy. They understand the pressures of demanding lives and work in a way that fits the client's world rather than disrupting it.

## Part of a bigger plan

Companion support often runs alongside other help. For guidance and accountability beyond in-person support, see Recovery Coaching.

## Steady through change

Coming home from treatment, traveling, and picking up daily responsibilities can be overwhelming. A companion is a constant through those changes, lowering risk and easing the way.

## Getting started

If you are looking for discreet, in-person support for yourself or someone you love, call and we will find the right next step.

## Questions families ask

### What is a recovery companion?

A credentialed professional who is physically present, not a therapist, and who helps someone keep structure, stay accountable, and stay steady in daily life.

### When does someone need a companion?

During transitions: coming home from treatment, traveling, or any stretch when in-person support is what keeps progress going.

### Is a companion the same as a therapist?

No. Companions do not provide therapy or clinical care. They provide presence, support, and accountability in everyday situations.
