Is there a specific term for "sponsor" within Alcohólicos Anónimos or Narcóticos Anónimos? I know normally it's "patrocinador," but I wondered if a specific term were used for 12-step programs in Spanish. Any resources for D&A recovery terminology in Spanish would be helpful. Thank you! This is for a training text in the US.

Promotor de AA
I found that promoter works very good for programs where individuals are the ones doing the job of sponsoring, patrocinador is more commonly used for companies that give financial support, services or products for an event or a program.
Promoter is also a synonym in Thesaurus.

Example sentence:

...Eduardo se unió al otro grupo de A.A. Era un promotor agresivo y tenía todo el descaro típico de un vendedor.
Note from asker:
| Thanks very much, Velia. I'm actually not looking for the term for a sponsor of a group, but an AA-specific term that means "mentor," or "guide," to an individual. Thank you, though! |
