Hey Michael. 142 days sober — that's incredible. How's today going?
Had a rough day at work. Feeling triggered.
I hear you. Let's try a quick grounding exercise — name 5 things you can see right now. Take your time.
OK. The couch, my dog, the TV, a plant, my phone.
Great. Notice how you're already more present. You chose to reach out instead of act on the urge — that's real strength.
Capabilities

Support that meets residents where they are

Evidence-based tools, not generic chatbot answers.

Craving support

Guided techniques to ride out urges — grounding, urge surfing, distraction planning, and real-time emotional support.

CBT exercises

Structured cognitive behavioral therapy exercises adapted for recovery — thought challenging, behavioral activation, and relapse prevention.

Emotional check-ins

Daily mood and energy check-ins that help residents recognize patterns and build self-awareness over time.

Available 24/7

Cravings don't wait for business hours. The AI mentor is always available — 3 AM, weekends, holidays.

Crisis-aware

Recognizes crisis language and immediately surfaces the 988 Lifeline, SAMHSA helpline, and encourages professional support.

Completely private

Conversations are never visible to house managers, staff, or operators. Privacy builds the trust residents need to be honest.

Why it matters

The gap between sessions is where recovery happens

Residents see therapists once a week. Cravings happen every day. The AI mentor fills the gap with real-time, evidence-based support that's always one tap away.

No scheduling, no waitlists, no stigma

Frequently asked questions

Is the AI mentor a replacement for a therapist or counselor?+
No. The AI mentor is a supportive tool, not a clinical service. It provides evidence-based coping strategies, guided exercises, and a judgment-free space to process thoughts. It always encourages residents to seek professional help for serious concerns.
Can house managers see what residents discuss with the AI?+
No. Conversations between a resident and their AI mentor are completely private. House managers cannot access, view, or export these conversations. This privacy is essential to building trust.
What kind of support does the AI mentor provide?+
The mentor offers CBT-based coping exercises, craving management techniques, guided breathing and grounding exercises, goal setting and accountability, sobriety milestone celebrations, and general emotional support.
Is the AI mentor available on all plans?+
Yes. Every resident on every plan gets access to the AI mentor through their private recovery app. There are no add-on fees or per-resident charges for AI mentor access.
What if a resident expresses a crisis or safety concern?+
The AI mentor is trained to recognize crisis language and immediately provides the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, SAMHSA helpline, and encourages the resident to reach out to a trusted person or call 911.

Give every resident a mentor on day one.

No extra cost. No setup. The AI mentor is included on every plan and available the moment a resident signs in.
