Not everyone who needs professional recovery support can afford it. That is a reality we do not ignore at Sober Consulting NYC. The cost of private sober companion services, professional sober coaching, and intervention support should not be the reason someone is left without help and that is exactly why we created our Sober Companion Scholarship program to make sure it is not.
Our scholarship exists because we believe that access to quality recovery support is not a privilege. It is something every person fighting for their sobriety deserves a fair chance at, regardless of their financial situation.
The Sober Consulting NYC Sober Companion Scholarship Program is supported by generous donations and team members who volunteer their time to provide services at no charge. When scholarship funding is available, selected applicants may receive support across the following areas:
Professional intervention guidance for families who cannot afford private intervention services including pre-intervention consultation, planning support, and facilitation assistance to help loved ones take the first step toward treatment
One-on-one sober coaching sessions via Zoom or phone with a trained recovery professional providing accountability, goal setting, relapse prevention guidance, and practical support for individuals working toward sobriet
Safe, professional sober transport to treatment facilities, meetings, therapy appointments, and other recovery-related destinations ensures that getting to the right place is never a barrier to getting the right help.
Professional intervention guidance for families who cannot afford private intervention services including pre-intervention consultation, planning support, and facilitation assistance to help loved ones take the first step toward treatment

The Sober Consulting NYC Sober Companion Scholarship is open to individuals and families who are genuinely committed to beginning a recovery journey but face financial barriers to accessing professional support. We do not require a perfect history or a polished application. We require honesty, a willingness to take the next step, and a real desire to change.
We understand that the people who need help the most are often the ones least positioned to ask for it.This program is our way of making sure that asking is always worth it.
When families and individuals are searching for Sober Companion Scholarship programs in New York, what they are really searching for is trust and confidence that the professional entering their home or accompanying their loved one is genuinely qualified, properly trained, and held to a standard that matches the seriousness of the work.
Every sober companion at Sober Consulting NYC is part of our trusted Sober Companion Scholarship services team and has completed professional training in addiction recovery support. Our founder, Darrah Kneisel, brings over nine years of lived recovery experience combined with formal professional credentials, and that background shapes the training standards and expectations we uphold across all sober companion services we provide.
We are not a placement directory. We are a recovery consulting firm that vets, trains, and stands behind every professional we engage.
Every dollar donated to the Sober Consulting NYC Sober Companion Scholarship Program goes directly toward providing recovery support for individuals who cannot afford it. When you donate, you are not contributing to an overhead fund. You are paying for a sober companion to sit with someone through their hardest night, for a coach to help someone set their first sober goal, for a ride that gets someone to the treatment facility they finally said yes to.
If you believe that recovery should be available to everyone, not just those who can afford private care please consider making a contribution. No amount is too small, and every contribution makes a direct difference in someone’s life.
When I was in the middle of my addiction, the idea of affording professional recovery support felt completely out of reach.I know what it is like to need help and feel like the financial reality of getting it makes it impossible.That experience is a big part of why this program exists.
Recovery changed my life.I want it to have the chance to change yours whatever your circumstances look like right now.
