Who adult transport is for
- Adults entering detox or residential treatment who should not travel alone
- People leaving a hospital or emergency department for a treatment program
- Clients stepping between levels of care, or moving from one facility to another
- Older adults or anyone with medical needs that make solo travel risky
- Families who live far from the program and cannot make the trip themselves
Adult transport is voluntary
Adults have the right to decide about their own care. We transport adults who have agreed to go, even reluctantly, and we help your family hold the boundaries that keep that agreement in place: we remind your loved one why they chose help and what treatment can give them. If your loved one has not yet agreed, our intervention services are the place to start.
How it works
- Planning call. We ask about substances used, medications, medical and psychiatric history, and the admitting program's requirements.
- Travel plan and quote. Route, flights or drive time, team and cost, confirmed in writing.
- Pickup. Our team meets your loved one at home, a hospital, an airport or wherever they are.
- Travel. We handle tickets, check-in, security, meals and connections, and keep the trip substance-free.
- Admission. We stay through intake and confirm arrival with you and the program.
Support along the way
Travel days are stressful, and withdrawal or anxiety can make them worse. Our recovery coaches know what the first day feels like and how to keep someone steady. EMTs on our staff are assigned when a person's medical situation calls for it.
Where we go
We transport adults to treatment programs across the United States, by ground or commercial air.
