Relapse happens in isolation. We make sure no one recovers alone.
Sober Sidekick is the peer recovery platform that keeps your members connected, supported, and on track — 24/7, anonymous, and always free to them. When people stay connected, they stay in recovery. That’s good for them, and good for everyone.

The Challenge
Millions are fighting alone. The system built to help them can’t reach them — and the human cost keeps compounding.
people with SUD never receive any form of treatment
40M Americans
average relapses before lasting recovery
only 35% achieve lasting recovery
annual healthcare cost of this failure
ER visits, rehab readmissions, comorbid conditions
The system was never built for this. We were.

Validated Economic Impact
Cost impact, backed by third-party analysis.
We used de-identified platform data from 394,000+ users to model relapse reduction rates, then worked with CHARM Economics, the Validation Institute, and HMA & Wakely to stress-test and validate our assumptions.

De-identified Data from 394,100 Users
Peer connection reduces relapse — and the costs that follow
Members who connect with even one peer see a measurable drop in relapse risk. More connection compounds the effect — driving better outcomes and lower costs across your population.

Privacy & Trust
Anonymous by default. Connected by choice.
Sober Sidekick is built on a simple principle: anonymity is the foundation of trust. Members control their own data. By default, they're completely anonymous — no real name, no location, no contact info required. No one except Sober Sidekick staff can identify them.
When a health plan partners with Sober Sidekick, we share only de-identified, aggregated data: how many members engaged, what recovery patterns we're seeing, which interventions are working. We never share individual activity. Never share names. Never share health data unless a member explicitly opts in with full visibility and the ability to revoke consent anytime.
Privacy isn't a setting, it's the default.
Anonymous by Default
Privacy is the architecture, not just a policy. No real names, no tracking, no profiling.
You Choose What to Share
Opt-in only, full visibility into what’s shared, revocable at any time. No surprises.
A Bigger Safety Net
Partnerships help health plans invest in what’s actually working for recovery.
