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.

Ages served: 13 and up

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.

At GLRS, innovation is at the heart of how we support recovery. The GLRS Recovery Compass App is our proprietary digital platform, designed and developed exclusively by the GLRS team to enhance your recovery experience beyond in-person sessions.

Created with care, expertise, and lived understanding, this technology represents our commitment to making recovery tools accessible anytime, anywhere. Every feature—from personalized daily check-ins to our secure community connection—is built to uphold the same standard of compassion and accountability that defines our in-person work.

All concepts, designs, and functionalities within the GLRS Recovery Compass App are the intellectual property of GLRS. © 2025 GLRS. All rights reserved.

The app and its features are unique to our approach and reflect our belief that technology, when used intentionally, can extend human connection rather than replace it. Through our proprietary platform, we ensure that support, insight, and community are always within reach—whenever you need them most.

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. Please book a free consultation using the button at the top of your screen to discuss how we can support you, and we will get back to you within 24-48 hours to create a personalized plan for your recovery journey.

Additionally, our virtual coaching sessions are available to people in recovery throughout California and beyond, ensuring that geographic distance never becomes a barrier to accessing quality recovery support.
