We empower people to make recovery last a lifetime
We're Active Recovery Companions, and we help people navigate long-term sobriety outside of treatment.
You Know the Routine.
Do the work. Complete the program.
Perhaps even multiple times.
But the moment someone steps back into daily life, old triggers overpower the recovery skills learned in treatment.
Relapse doesn't happen because someone lacks willpower.
It happens because there is a massive gap between a controlled facility and the realities of day-to-day life.
Our mission is to bridge that gap.
"Our goal is to help foster and develop healthy interests, work on life skills and build a support network for each of our clients."

Our Founder
Taylor Wilson
Growing up in Santa Barbara, I excelled in academics, sports and outdoor activities.
However, as a junior Olympic hockey player, I sustained many injuries and was introduced to opiates, which led me down a dark path into a decade-long struggle that severed connections with friends and family.
A moment of clarity in 2012 prompted my recovery journey, marking the beginning of a transformative path that included therapy, 12-step recovery, meditation, a healthier diet, and, perhaps most importantly, a dedication to physical fitness.
I also discovered healthier outlets, such as Brazilian jiu-jitsu and surfing, and found a sense of community among people who shared similar experiences and values.
This personal transformation soon became my professional calling. I started designing and leading team-building activities for treatment centers across Los Angeles and Malibu.
As my work gained traction families began approaching me to work privately as an in-home sober companion to aid in their loved ones' recovery after they had completed their inpatient treatment.
What began as private, individual requests has evolved into a premier agency offering sober companion services all across the country.
Today, I lead a specialized team that empowers people with real-world recovery skills through highly personalized support to overcome addiction and mental health issues and thrive in their daily lives.
Leading with values,
driven by purpose
Shared commitment to our values guides our actions and our decision making.
One-on-One Support
No two recovery journeys are the same. We provide highly personalized care that meets clients exactly where they are. We match our clients with a companion from our roster that fits their personality, lifestyle, background, and medical care.
Empower People
We don't just provide supervision; we lead with core values towards intentional purpose. Every decision, boundary, and strategy is engineered to align our clients with a deeper, lasting motivation for long-term sobriety.
Social Connection
True recovery cannot happen in isolation. We actively bridge the gap between clinical isolation and real-world relationships, helping clients rebuild healthy social networks, practice accountability, and foster authentic community connections.
Purposeful Living
Addiction thrives in shame, but healing begins with grace. We approach every client with radical empathy and deep understanding, ensuring they feel supported, heard, and valued through every peak and valley of their transition.
Recovery Support Beyond Treatment
Embracing sobriety is a profound commitment to your future, and our experienced team is dedicated to bridging the critical gap between treatment and daily life.
