Accompanied Treatment Transport

I personally accompany a client to a treatment program, or between levels of care. I arrange the travel, travel with the client, and complete a handoff to the admitting team. Accompaniment can be engaged on its own or as part of a broader engagement.

What This Includes

Confirmation with the admitting program before travel
Travel arrangements suited to the client's condition and circumstances
Personal accompaniment for the journey, by air or by road
Preparation of the family for the departure
A handoff to the admitting team, including the relevant history
Confirmation to the family once the admission is complete

Travel

Accompaniment is arranged wherever the program is, including flights across the country and overnight stays before an early admission. I am with the client throughout, and the family hears from me once the handoff is complete.

When to Engage It

When a client has agreed to treatment and the travel itself is the risk: a long trip, a first admission, a transfer between levels of care, or a situation where the family cannot manage the journey alone.

What This Is Not

Not medical transport, security, restraint, or custody. No treatment is provided during travel; the admitting program provides the care. Accompaniment is voluntary, and the client may decline or stop at any point.
