Gambling and the Sober Companion
Gambling can be an addiction. It can also be a part of a larger obsessive-compulsive disorder. You can use a Sober Coach or a Sober Companion to help when those triggers pop up.
Not A Sober Coach
A Sober Coach will not provide medical treatment, will not sponsor you, and will not become your guru or spiritual advisor. Our staff executes missions based on the client's needs, but we do not try to fill every role.
Assessment and the Sober Companion
How do you know that you will be assigned the proper coach? Sober Champion performs an in-depth evaluation and assessment of each client prior to sending your coach to you.

An Addict? Really? Could it be you?
A Sober Coach can help you to determine whether you are an addict or an alcoholic, and can help you attack the problem, whatever it is, by using a variety of methods.
I Hate 12-Step Meetings!
We know you hate 12-Step meetings. Even people who regularly attend them hate them sometimes. The goal of a Sober Coach is not always to make you love 12-Step meetings. If you hate them, but are obligated to attend, we know where the most entertaining ones are - and we know (from personal experience) which ones to avoid at all costs.
Sober Coaching After Treatment
Use a Sober Coach or Sober Companion when you return home from treatment. Sober Champion provides the key to your continued recovery from alcoholihsm and addiction.
Sober Coach - Fiduciary Case Management
When the Sober Coach is dealing with a client only a couple of times per week, how do we track their money? We know that cash and phones are triggers for many recovering addicts and alcoholics, so one method we use is Fiduciary Case Management.
Sober Companion - Fiduciary Case Management
When the Sober Companion has a client 24 hours per day, you would think managing their money would be easy. Without a clearly defined set of boundaries, however, this is rarely the case. We know that cash and phones are triggers for many recovering addicts and alcoholics, so we use Fiduciary Case Management.
Dogma = Danger: Beware the Black-or-White Sober Coach
Watch out for sober coaches or sober companions who diagnose you and presribe regular attendance at 12-Step meetings. Not every drug and alcohol user is an addict. If you are an addict, and you are seeking total abstience from mood- and mind-altering substances, a Sober Coach can be the guide you need to help you get there.

Shopping With A Sober Coach
In early recovery, especially if you attended a residential treatment center, you learned a lot - in fact, you probably learned more than you wanted! But once you leave the center, how do you go about doing the simple things that everyone else does without getting loaded?
Doctors and Dentists...Oh My!
How does a newly recovering person talk to his or her doctor or dentist about what drugs to prescribe and - more importantly, what NOT to prescribe? Your Sober Companion can guide you through these uncomforable conversations with ease and confidence.

A Sober Brain Companion
Brain chemistry is not our forte. There, we said it. That doesn't mean that our Sober Coach and Sober Companion staff do not read up on the latest developments in mapping the brains of addicts and alcoholics, nor does it mean that we ignore the advance being made by doctors and scientists treating addiction.
Kicked Out Of Rehab!
Have you been kicked out of rehab? More than once? Join the club! Before he got sober, our most successful Sober Coach was kicked out of several rehab centers. Why? For doing what came natually to him at that time: breaking the rules, getting loaded and getting laid. Don't worry; you can learn as much by getting kicked out as you can by graduating.

Sober Champion and the NIDA
The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) has published their Principles of Drug Abuse Treatment as a resource for your treatment professional and you. In this series of articles, we address their ideas and explore the ways in which Sober Champion complies with NIDA standards. Following are the bullet points from the NIDA document.
Sober Champion and NIDA: Single Addiction Treatment
No single treatment for addiction or alcoholism is appropriate for everyone. We spend as much time as necessary with every client to determine the appropriate treatment method.
Sober Champion and NIDA: Readily Available Treatment
Potential treatment applicants can be lost if treatment is not immediately available or is not readily accessible.
Sober Champion and NIDA: Multiple Needs
SOBER CHAMPION
NIDA and Sober Champion: Alcoholism Treatment Plan Assessment and Modification
A treatment plan must be assessed continually and modified as necessary to meet changing needs.
What is an adequate treatment period? Sober Champion and the NIDA No Description
Counseling and Effective Addiction Treatment
Counseling (individual and/or group) and other behavioral therapies are critical components of effective treatment for addiction.
Sober Champion and NIDA: Medications in Recovery and Treatment
Medications are an important element of treatment for many patients, especially when combined with counseling and other behavioral therapies.
Coexisting Disorders: NIDA and Sober Champion
Individuals with coexisting mental disorders should have both disorders treated in an integrated way.
Sober Champion and NIDA: Medical Detox
Medical detoxification is only the first stage of addiction treatment and by itself does little to change long-term drug use.
Sober Champion and NIDA: Voluntary and Involuntary Treatment
Strong motivation can facilitate the treatment process. Sanctions or enticements in the family, employment setting, or criminal justice system can increase significantly both treatment entry and retention rates and the success of drug treatment interventions.
Drug Testing During Addiction Treatment
Lapses to drug use can occur during treatment. The objective monitoring of a patient's drug and alcohol use during treatment, such as through urinalysis or other tests, can help the patient withstand urges to use drugs.
Infectuous Disease Monitoring During Treatment
Treatment programs should provide assessment for HIV/AIDS, hepatitis B and C, tuberculosis and other infectious diseases, and counseling to help patients modify or change behaviors that place themselves or others at risk of infection.
Long-Term Recovery: NIDA and Sober Champion
Recovery from drug addiction can be a long-term process and frequently requires multiple episodes of treatment.
