Why Facilities Choose Sober Living Companion

Managing a recovery residence requires coordinating residents, staff, compliance requirements, and support services—all while maintaining the integrity and safety of your program. Sober Living Companion was built by operators, for operators.

Resident Tracking: Monitor occupancy, track progress, log attendance at meetings and programs, and document resident compliance
Accountability & Compliance: Automate drug testing logs, house agreement signatures, curfew check-ins, and compliance reporting for licensing boards
Financial Management: Collect membership fees and rent via card, CashApp, or Zelle; track payments per resident; simplify accounting
Safety & Incident Tracking: Document incidents, passes, guest logs, and safety events in one place for liability protection
