Executive Sober Companion Support

Returning to work can involve travel, changing schedules, privacy concerns, and competing responsibilities. An executive companion assignment should define the practical support needed without turning the Guide into a clinician, employee monitor, or security professional.

Scope the workday and the boundary around it

Discuss which parts of the day require agreed accompaniment and which should remain private. A proposed plan might involve preparing for appointments, maintaining routines during work travel, or navigating a scheduled event with support.

A Recovery & Wellness Guide does not make fitness-for-duty determinations, provide legal or employment advice, or guarantee work performance. Those decisions belong to the appropriate professionals and the person involved.

Decide who may know what

Identify authorized participants and communication channels before sharing sensitive details. An employer, family office, assistant, or spouse may be involved in arrangements without being entitled to every clinical or personal detail.

Ask for the actual confidentiality terms and exceptions. Do not infer anonymity or absolute secrecy from words such as private or discreet. Use the initial form only for broad service needs and safe contact preferences.

Separate companion work from adjacent roles

  • Clinical care: assessment, treatment, and medication remain with qualified treating professionals.
  • Employment matters: legal advice, workplace policies, and return-to-work decisions require the appropriate advisors.
  • Security: do not assume a companion is trained or contracted for protective services.
  • Case coordination: identify who communicates across providers and which consent applies.
  • Travel: name the itinerary, on-duty hours, rest, expenses, and handoff separately.

Make the schedule realistic

Work hours, dinners, flights, and time zones can create assumptions about round-the-clock availability. Define actual coverage, rest, relief if proposed, and who approves a changed itinerary.

If a longer stay is being considered, review the live-in guide. For a specific trip or event, use travel and event planning. Review cost and change terms before commitments.

Begin through a private service inquiry

The executive, a family member, or an authorized professional can inquire about fit. Professionals can use the referral pathway; do not send employee records or identifying case histories through a public form.

Use the deployment intake to describe the broad request and timing. Personnel, availability, consent, and scope require confirmation; no outcome or immediate deployment is promised.

Frequently asked questions

Is executive companion support a security service?

No. A companion role does not establish security training or a protective-services scope. Any separate need must be assessed and assigned appropriately.

Will an employer receive updates?

Information-sharing requires clarification of authorization, consent, and applicable limits. Do not assume an employer automatically receives personal or clinical details.
