Recovery doesn't pause for life's demands, and neither should your support system. Whether you're navigating early sobriety, strengthening your foundation, or pursuing transformative change, the path forward requires more than good intentions - it requires genuine understanding.

Guiding Light Recovery Services provides compassionate, results-oriented peer support for adults and adolescents that honors both your recovery journey and your life's responsibilities. No rigid schedules, no one-size-fits-all approach - just authentic support from people who truly understand what it means to rebuild your life while maintaining everything you've worked for.

Our experienced team combines lived recovery experience with professional training to offer the kind of support that meets you exactly where you are - whether that's in person, virtually, or wherever life takes you. We understand that recovery looks different at every age, which is why we've developed specialized approaches for both adults seeking to maintain their professional and personal commitments and young people navigating recovery while building their futures.

We believe recovery support should enhance your life, not complicate it, which is why we've created flexible service packages that adapt to your unique circumstances and goals. For our adolescent clients, we work closely with families, schools, and support systems to ensure recovery integrates seamlessly with educational and developmental needs.

Every person's recovery story is different, and your support should reflect that. We're here to walk alongside you, providing the accountability, guidance, and encouragement you need to not just maintain sobriety, but to thrive in all areas of your life.

Recovery is deeply personal, and the support you receive should honor that truth. That's why we've carefully designed comprehensive service packages that recognize where you are today and where you want to be tomorrow - because every recovery journey deserves individualized attention and authentic care.

Whether you're taking your first courageous steps, building momentum after early challenges, or pursuing transformative change that seemed impossible before, our peer support services provide the structure, accountability, and hope you need to not just survive, but flourish in your recovery.

We've seen how traditional approaches can sometimes feel disconnected from real life - rigid schedules that don't bend, programs that ignore your other responsibilities, and solutions that treat everyone the same way. Your recovery shouldn't have to compete with your life; it should enhance it. Our approach is built around your world, your schedule, and your unique circumstances.

Flexible Scheduling: Early morning, late evening, weekend sessions, and virtual meetings that fit your calendar - not the other way around.

Our coaches bring both professional expertise and authentic lived experience to every interaction. They've walked similar paths, faced their own challenges, and understand that recovery isn't just about staying sober - it's about building a life worth living. Whether we're meeting face-to-face or connecting virtually, you'll find a safe space for honest conversation, genuine support, and real growth.

Recovery doesn't happen just during scheduled sessions - it happens in the small moments throughout every day. That's why we've developed the GLRS Recovery Connect App, a comprehensive digital platform that extends your support beyond our meetings and puts powerful recovery tools in your pocket 24/7.

The app serves as your daily recovery companion, providing structure and accountability while connecting you to a community of others walking similar paths. Each morning starts with a personalized check-in that helps you set intentions and identify potential challenges before they arise. Evening reflections allow you to process the day, recognize progress, and prepare for tomorrow with clarity.

Key Features:

• Daily Check-Ins: Morning intention-setting and evening reflections that create consistent accountability without feeling burdensome

• Sobriety Tracker: Visual progress tracking that celebrates every milestone, from day one to years of sustained recovery

• Community Connection: Anonymous peer forums where you can share experiences, ask questions, and support others in recovery

• Resource Library: Evidence-based tools, coping strategies, and educational content available whenever you need guidance

For professionals accustomed to data-driven approaches and measurable outcomes, the app provides the metrics and insights you expect from modern support services. You can track patterns, identify triggers, monitor progress, and make informed decisions about your recovery strategy - all while maintaining complete privacy and discretion.

The technology doesn't replace human connection; it enhances it. Between sessions, you're never alone. Whether you're facing a difficult moment at 2 AM or celebrating a breakthrough during your lunch break, the app ensures support is always within reach.

As shown in our service area map, we provide full in-person support across six core Bay Area counties - including San Francisco, Alameda, Contra Costa, San Mateo, Santa Clara, and Santa Cruz - with transportation support included in every package.

For persons in recovery in Marin, Sonoma, Napa, and Solano counties, we offer flexible virtual coaching and limited in-person services. Limited services means we can still provide in-person recovery coaching, but with reduced frequency due to travel distance - typically 1-2 visits per month rather than weekly sessions.

Please note that some towns within our six core counties may also receive limited/virtual services depending on their specific location and accessibility. We evaluate each situation individually to provide the best possible support.

Don't see your specific city on our map? No worries - we are committed to your recovery and finding a solution that works for you.
