Certified Soberlink Provider

As a Certified Soberlink Provider, I am trained on how to best utilize Soberlink alcohol monitoring system to support my clients’ recovery. The Soberlink program keeps clients connected to their support network in a way that does not disrupt day to day life. Soberlink testing is a great reminder of recovery, and self-reporting to loved ones is no longer necessary thanks to real-time documentation through Soberlink technology.

Rebuilding Trust & Accountability

The Soberlink alcohol monitoring system was designed to empower people in their first year of recovery. Studies show that using alcohol monitoring systems in early recovery can lead to significantly better outcomes because it reinforces accountability and transparency with the client’s recovery circle. Soberlink technology utilizes a portable breathalyzer and recovery management software making it easy to regularly screen for alcohol use. Each compliant screen is celebrated as proof of a client’s continued success and growth in recovery. Besides being an additional source of accountability, Soberlink monitoring also provides support in the recovery process. Frequent check-ins (3 times daily) provide the client with support for both academic and recovery advancement.

The Soberlink program delivers real-time blood alcohol results to anyone, anytime. The visibility of results strengthens relationships and allows for a timely intervention when necessary. Ultimately, these shared results are documented and promote accountability.

This service is monitored by me in "real time". I receive text messages and emails with test results and BAC level, along with a photo as the client blows into the device. A text message and email is sent to me with the results of each test along with a photo of the client as they blow into the device. Testing is scheduled to occur at previously determined intervals, days of the week, and times per day.

Any family member or employee who needs accountability with their sobriety. It is often utilized by doctors, nurses, pilots, attorneys, and anyone who’s livelihood relies upon long-term sobriety.
