sober coach

An alternative name for this is sobriety coach.  Apart from the coach in sport we have had life coach, business coach, health coach, and now we have sober coach, the person who can assist a person who wants to stay sober by analysing the danger points in their lives and finding strategies for dealing with them. Mostly the sober coach lays out a plan which is reviewed from time to time, but they are also there for emergency situations.  If their client has to attend an event or a party where drinks will be served, they will go along and stand in the corner as a guardian.  There is also the sober companion for someone who needs help around the clock. The recovery coach assists someone who is just out of rehab for a drug or alcohol problem. Sober coaching is new in Australia but becoming more common.
