Celebrity sober companion
At The Celebrity Personal Assistant Network, we understand that high-profile actors, musicians, and high-net-worth families need support in so many ways -- not just booking appointments or managing a household. That's why we recruit sober companions for high-profile individuals.
People in the public eye have pressures that the average person doesn't understand, but we do. Our founder, Brian Daniel, is a former personal assistant to celebrities, royalty and high-net-worth families, so he understands firsthand the complexities of being in the spotlight.

How can I hire a sober coach?
We confidentially recruit for celebrities
If you have been through addiction treatment and need to talk about celebrity sober companions, then we are here to help. We are experts in placing hybrid personal assistants with clients in the entertainment industry, so our placements can "double" as sober coaches.
If you are about to leave rehab and fear that you might relapse, then we can assign a sobriety coach to ensure that you don't end up back at a treatment center. Your sober buddy can be with you 24 hours a day to supervise your recovery and make sure you stay on track.

How much does it cost for celebrity sober companions?
Hiring an elite celebrity personal assistant in a major city like Los Angeles starts at about $120,000 a year but can vary greatly depending on the scope of work. An assistant who "doubles" as a sober companion will cost more because the demands for the job -- and the hours -- are substantially more.
While a regular celebrity PA job may be working 50 hours a week, a sober living companion needs to be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Also, these positions are usually "live in" because the recovery needs to be closely supervised.
An assistant for sobriety and addiction is usually hired for a minimum of three months but could be on assignment for as much as a year, depending on the client's needs. Those rates range from $1000 to $2500 a day depending on the circumstances.

Will my sober companion attend addiction treatment with me?
We provide live-in sober buddies
We will work closely with your counselor and physician to ensure that your sober companion job description is robust. The assistance that your celebrity sober companion provides will be directed by experts. So, your assistant may attend group therapy or mental health sessions with you if required.
Since many high-profile celebrities like Demi Lovato, Wendy Williams, Robert Downey Jr, Matthew Perry, Ben Affleck, and Lindsay Lohan have been struggling with addiction treatment, it proves that nobody is immune. Therefore, having a committed sober coach is critical for recovery.

Will my sober companion sign a celebrity NDA?
Yes. All of the personal assistants that we place with celebrities and high-profile families sign a non-disclosure agreement. They won't reveal any of the details surrounding their work with the celebrities and high-profile families that they serve.
In order for the relationship between the celebrity and sober companion to have the kind of success that everyone hopes for, there must be mutual trust. In addition to your personal assistant acting as a sober coach, they are also in many respects your friend.

What other duties will a celebrity sober companion have?

Does your staffing firm work with celebrity talent agents and management companies?
We work with talent agencies and management companies
Yes, we do. As recruiters for high-profile families and VIPs, we know there is often an unusual combination of factors in the VIPs life that warrant intervention from several parties. Because many of our personal assistants come from the entertainment industry, they have worked with producers, directors, and movie studio heads before.
If, for example, a celebrity is having a difficult time with drugs and alcohol while filming a movie, we will work with an actor's agent or business manager to ensure that the celebrity is in compliance with insurance requirements. A lot can be riding on making sure that the film is completed and can move into post-production, so your sober companion will supervise you every step of the way.

What kinds of addiction can my sober companion help me manage?
Our sober companions have seen it all. We've worked with stars and high-net-worth individuals with serious drug problems like cocaine and crack; but we've also worked with clients who have a drinking problem.
Substance abuse comes in many forms other than booze, and we've even worked with clients who need help to stop smoking or gambling.
