Companioning
COMPANIONING
Recovering from mental health and addiction can be challenging, painful, and at times extremely scary, especially as individuals attempt to reintegrate into their lives following treatment. Clients face new challenges every day that may risk the sanctity of their recovery and require an additional support structure to navigate these moments successfully.
Companions can provide a sense of trust and safety during these pivotal moments. Companions are trained to support clients in maintaining their mental health needs and living a life of recovery.
Camden Case Management offers companioning on both a short-term and long-term basis based on the needs of the client. Companions accompany clients throughout the day to provide structure, safety, and support in various environments to support them in staying regulated, safe and living a life of recovery.
As part of this process, companions continually consult with case managers to monitor and adapt the client’s safety, mental health needs, and recovery plans.
