A sober coach in your corner.

Epic Journey provides sober companion and sober coach services across Newport Beach and Orange County, with travel nationwide. In-person or virtual daily support, accountability, and crisis help during early recovery, high-risk windows, and travel, plus safe sober transport when you need it. Cash-pay and confidential.

What It Is

Professional support, on your terms.

A sober companion, sometimes called a sober coach or sober escort, is a trained professional who stays close during the moments recovery feels hardest. Epic Journey gives you in-person or virtual daily support, accountability, and real-time crisis help across Newport Beach and Orange County, with travel nationwide and safe sober transport when you need it.

This is coaching and coordination, not clinical treatment. We are not a licensed treatment facility. We coach, keep you accountable, coordinate with your existing care team, and refer out when a higher level of care is the right call. Cash-pay, confidential, and built around your actual life.

The Support

What it looks like day to day.

What's Included

Daily Support & Crisis Help

In-person or virtual check-ins, direct access during agreed windows, and a calm, trained voice the moment cravings or a crisis hit. Plus safe sober transport to meetings, appointments, and the airport when you need it.

How It Works

Built Around Your Week

We start with a free consult, scope the right level of coverage, and build a plan around your triggers, schedule, and travel. From a few virtual hours a week to full-time in-person companionship, you scale up or down as recovery stabilizes.

Who It's For

High-Risk Windows & Travel

Anyone leaving treatment, returning home, traveling for work, or facing a wedding, holiday, or event full of old triggers. For individuals and families across Orange County who want a trained professional in their corner, not a guess.

What To Expect

Honest about what we do.

Epic Journey sober coaching is professional companionship and accountability, not a substitute for medical or clinical care. We work alongside your therapist, treatment center, or physician, and if you need detox, a higher level of care, or licensed treatment, we coordinate the referral and stay involved through the transition.

Everything is cash-pay and confidential, with day and week rates quoted on your consult, no insurance billing and no paper trail. We are based in Newport Beach and serve all of Orange County in person, support clients anywhere by video, and travel nationwide when the situation calls for it.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions.

What is a sober companion?

A sober companion is a trained professional who stays close during high-risk moments, early recovery, and travel. At Epic Journey your companion provides in-person or virtual daily support, real-time crisis help, and safe sober transport when you need it, serving Newport Beach and Orange County with travel nationwide. We coach, coordinate, and refer; we are not a licensed treatment facility.

Sober coach vs sponsor: what is the difference?

A sponsor is an unpaid volunteer from a 12-step program who shares their own recovery experience on their own schedule. A sober coach is a trained professional you retain for structured, on-demand support, accountability, and crisis planning whenever you need it. Many Newport Beach clients keep both: a sponsor for fellowship and an Epic Journey sober coach for professional, confidential guidance.

How much does a sober companion cost?

Sober companion cost varies with the level of care, from a few hours of virtual coaching per week to full-time in-person or travel coverage. Epic Journey is cash-pay and confidential, with clear day and week rates quoted on your free consult, no insurance billing and no surprises. We scope the right amount of support for your situation before you commit to anything.

When do you need a sober companion?

A sober companion helps most during high-risk windows: the first weeks after treatment, a return home, work travel, holidays, weddings, or any event with alcohol and old triggers. If you or a loved one feels the pull toward relapse and wants a trained professional in their corner, that is the moment to reach out. Epic Journey supports clients across Orange County and nationwide.

Do you travel with clients?

Yes. Our sober companions travel nationwide for work trips, family events, treatment transitions, and relocations, and we provide safe sober transport to and from appointments, airports, and meetings. Based in Newport Beach, we build coverage around your itinerary so you are never navigating a high-risk trip alone.

Is it confidential?

Completely. Epic Journey is a discreet, cash-pay service, so there is no insurance paper trail and no disclosure to employers or family without your consent. Whether we meet in Newport Beach, at your home, or on the road, your privacy is protected at every step.

You should not have to white-knuckle the hardest moments alone. Let's put a trained professional in your corner.
