Why professional transport matters
- Willingness is brief. A person who agrees tonight may refuse tomorrow. We move quickly once a bed is confirmed.
- Travel is full of triggers. Airport bars, layovers and a last stop "to pick something up" are where trips fall apart.
- Withdrawal is unpredictable. Someone in early withdrawal should not be driving or flying alone.
- Families need to step back. A long car ride with a frightened, angry or intoxicated relative is hard on everyone.
How it works
- Call us. Tell us what substances are involved, when your loved one last used, and where they are admitting.
- We coordinate with the program. We confirm admission time, intake requirements and what to bring.
- We pick up. From home, a hospital, a hotel, an airport or a detox unit.
- We travel together. Our team manages every leg of the trip and keeps it substance-free.
- We confirm admission. You hear from us when your loved one is checked in.
Who travels with your loved one
Our recovery coaches have helped many people through this exact day and know how to talk someone through doubt. EMTs on our staff are assigned when withdrawal risk or a medical condition calls for it.
If they have not agreed to go
Transport works when a person is willing, even reluctantly. If your loved one is refusing treatment, our certified interventionists can help your family plan the conversation. Many families book intervention services and transport together, so there is no gap between yes and go.
After treatment
The trip home matters too. A sober companion can travel with your loved one after discharge or on to sober living.
