Why Mentoring Works
Some moments are too important to face alone. A sober companion provides immersive, real-time presence through the fragile hours after treatment, on the road, or through a high-risk event, so recovery holds when it matters most.
Immersive, one-on-one support through the highest-risk hours, not just a weekly appointment.
Steady companionship through the trip home, a work trip, or a major event that threatens recovery.
Private, professional support that protects your privacy and your reputation. Companions work and travel discreetly, blending into your world so you can focus on recovery without drawing attention. For executives, professionals, and public figures, confidentiality is not a bonus, it is the standard.
Is This Familiar
For the highest-risk moments, immersive support changes outcomes. A sober companion is there so no one faces them alone.
Our Support
Immersive, one-on-one support through the hours that matter most, at home or on the road. A sober companion stays close during the stretches when willpower runs thin and old patterns get loud, so you are never navigating the hardest moments alone. This is recovery support measured in presence, not appointments.
Steady companionship through discharge, travel, and high-risk events, so momentum holds when the ground shifts. The move home from treatment and the first trip back into normal life are where relapse most often happens, and a companion turns those exposed moments into managed, supported ones.
Private, professional support that protects your privacy and your reputation. Companions work and travel discreetly, blending into your world so you can focus on recovery without drawing attention. For executives, professionals, and public figures, confidentiality is not a bonus, it is the standard.
Real-world structure and guardrails around the triggers, people, and places that put recovery at risk. A companion helps you plan the day, hold the boundaries you have set, and step in before a situation becomes a crisis, so good intentions turn into consistent action.
Reassurance for families who cannot be there every hour, delivered with compassion and skill. Knowing a trained professional is present lets loved ones step back from policing and return to simply being family, which is often exactly what recovery needs.
A clear plan for high-risk moments and a grounded, immediate response if a slip does happen. Rather than waiting for the next scheduled session, your companion addresses warning signs in real time, keeping a difficult moment from becoming a lost week.

PRESENCE, NOT APPOINTMENTS
Cravings do not wait for a Tuesday session, and the riskiest moments, a layover, a wedding, a sleepless 2am, arrive without warning. A sober companion is there for exactly those hours, standing between a hard moment and a lost month, so early recovery has the one thing it needs most: someone steady, right there.

Confidential and without pressure. We listen first and help you name what is really happening.

Built around your patterns, your triggers, and the shape of your week.

A private, judgment-free conversation is the first step. We will help you find footing, whatever the last few months have looked like.
Where Mentoring Fits
Heights Mentoring is a private, non-clinical recovery support practice. We do not diagnose or provide therapy, psychiatry, or medical care. When those are the right next step, we coordinate with licensed providers and our sister clinical practice, Heights Behavioral Health, so nothing falls through the cracks.
The Road Home
Clinical care moves in steps, and each one matters. But the most dangerous stretch is the one nobody staffs: the space between the last program and a life that holds on its own. That is exactly where we work.
01
Medical stabilization, safely managed
02
Residential care, around the clock
03
Full-day treatment, evenings at home
04
Treatment that shares the week with real life
Where We Come In

A life that holds on its own

Questions
Sober companion cost depends on three things: how many hours a day you need, whether the engagement is daily or live-in, and whether travel is involved. A short, intensive engagement around a discharge or a wedding is priced very differently from ongoing daily support. We are private-pay by design, we quote in writing before anything starts, and there are no surprise line items for travel or lodging. Call (713) 337-5063 and we will give you a real number for your situation rather than a range that means nothing.
A companion works inside the ordinary day rather than inside an office. That means the morning routine and medication, getting to appointments and meetings, being present for the high-risk parts of the day such as work events, dinners, travel, and family gatherings, and staying reachable overnight. Much of the work is unglamorous: attendance, structure, sleep, and honest accountability. The dramatic moments are rare; the unstructured Tuesday evening is what the job is actually for.
No, and the differences matter when you are choosing. A sober companion provides intensive, often around-the-clock presence for a defined high-risk window. A recovery coach works on a scheduled basis over months and focuses on structure and skills. A sober escort or transport specialist covers a single trip, usually the flight home from treatment. Many families use a companion first, then step down to sober coaching or recovery coaching as stability returns.
Companion work is non-clinical peer and recovery support, so it is not a licensed profession in Texas the way counseling is. The relevant credentials in this field are the Texas peer certifications: Recovery Support Peer Specialist and Mental Health Peer Specialist, both administered through the state certification process. Ask any provider directly which of their staff hold those certifications, what background screening they run, and who supervises the work clinically. At Heights Mentoring the clinical standard is set and supervised by Heights Mentoring, working to standards set and reviewed by the licensed clinical leadership at Heights Behavioral Health.
Beyond lived experience, the practical skills are motivational interviewing, relapse-prevention planning, crisis de-escalation, boundary setting, trigger and craving management, and knowing how to document and communicate with a clinical team. Just as important is judgment: knowing when a situation is a coaching moment and when it is a medical one that belongs with a clinician immediately.
Yes. We travel for companion engagements, including discharge transport, business travel, and family events out of state. The flight home from treatment is statistically one of the riskiest legs of the whole process, which is exactly why it is worth staffing.
Yes to the first and no to the second. Because companion support is private-pay and non-clinical, there is no insurance claim, no diagnosis code, and no clinical record created by this service. Confidentiality terms are agreed in writing before the engagement begins, including exactly what is reported to family.
