How to Apply & Partner (Coaches, Clinicians, Sober Livings & Rehabs)
Sobio combines clinician‑led plans with daily coaching so clients get steady, personalized support. We welcome great people and ethical programs—and we verify to protect clients. Our vetting is thorough for everyone and naturally deeper for clinicians. We also partner with sober livings and rehabs that share our standards.
Why we vet
Client safety & trust: Vulnerable moments require solid skills, boundaries, and judgment.
Quality & follow‑through: Daily coaching + clinical leadership only works with consistent, accountable providers.
Ethical partnerships: We refuse brokering, kickbacks, or deceptive marketing. We work with the right people doing the right things.
Who should apply/partner
Coaches: Accountability pros with strong boundaries. Lived experience and peer credentials (e.g., CPRS/CARC/NCPRSS) are valued; degrees not required. Reliability is.
Clinicians: Licensed professionals (e.g., LCSW, LMFT, LPC, PsyD/PhD, MD/DO/NP/PA) comfortable leading plans, coordinating with coaches, documenting on time, and following escalation pathways.
Sober livings: Stable, ethical housing with clear rules, safety policies, and aftercare coordination. No brokering, no pay‑to‑play, transparent fees.
Rehabs (detox/residential/PHP/IOP): Programs that support evidence‑based treatment—including MAT policies without discrimination—honest marketing, timely discharge summaries, and real collaboration.
How the process works
Apply online (10–15 minutes): profile, availability, and scenario prompts.
Vetting questions: Coaches (experience, boundaries, crisis awareness, tech); Clinicians (licensure, modalities, risk, documentation); Programs (licensing, staffing, ethics, collaboration).
Skills/scenario checks: We assess judgment and communication—not just resumes.
References & compliance: At least two references; background checks; HIPAA and privacy agreements.
Decision & onboarding: Clear expectations, training, and shadowing (with consent) before client assignments or referrals.
What we expect
Coaches: Daily check‑ins, strong boundaries (no medical advice), concise weekly updates to clinicians, and comfort with Sobio’s app workflows.
Clinicians: Lead the plan, review coach summaries weekly, document within 48 hours, and follow escalation protocols; panel caps protect quality.
Sober livings & rehabs: Timely updates (with consent), discharge summaries within 48 hours, transparent pricing, and zero tolerance for unethical practices.
What we offer
A model that supports success: Daily coach signal + clinician leadership drive continuity and outcomes.
Structured support: Playbooks, consults, and quality feedback loops.
Fair shot, real growth: Rubrics and scenarios give everyone a chance to demonstrate skill—degrees and licenses matter, but so do reliability and ethics.
Our commitment to fairness
Structured scoring and calibration to reduce bias.
Scenario‑based evaluations instead of “gotchas.”
Reasonable feedback when we pass and clear pathways to re‑apply.
No payment for referrals, ever.
