The Process

From First Call to Safe Return.

Every engagement follows a structured, five-step process designed to protect your recovery and give you confidence before you ever leave home.

01

Intake

Confidential Consultation

Your journey begins with a private, no-obligation phone or video consultation. We listen to your situation, your travel needs, and your recovery history. There is no judgment — only honest conversation about whether we are the right fit and what support would look like for your specific trip.

Typically 30–60 minutes by phone or video
HIPAA-compliant from the first contact
No commitment required after the consultation
Family members or treatment providers may join with your consent
02

Matching

Companion Selection

Based on your consultation, we identify the companion whose credentials, experience, and personal background are the strongest match for your needs. For medical transport, we prioritize clinically credentialed companions. For personal or professional travel, we match on recovery experience, travel familiarity, and interpersonal fit.

Matched on credentials, experience, and personal compatibility
You review your companion's background before confirming
Clinical companions (RN, CRS) available for medical needs
You may request a brief introductory call before committing
03

Pre-Trip Planning

Structured Preparation

Before departure, your companion works with you — and optionally with your treatment team or sponsor — to build a trip plan. This includes identifying potential triggers, establishing check-in protocols, reviewing the itinerary for risk factors, and confirming any medication or clinical needs for the journey.

Trigger and risk assessment tailored to your itinerary
Coordination with your therapist, sponsor, or care team if authorized
Medication management plan for the duration of travel
Emergency protocols established before departure
04

Travel

Companion Present Throughout

Your companion travels with you from departure to return — present at the airport, during transit, at your destination, and through every event or obligation on your itinerary. They provide accountability, emotional regulation support, and logistical management so you can focus on the reason you are traveling.

Present from departure gate to final destination
Available around the clock during the engagement
Discreet — your recovery status is never disclosed
Structured check-ins and downtime built into each day
05

Follow-Up

Post-Trip Care Coordination

After you return home, your companion completes a structured debrief with you and, if authorized, with your treatment team. We document any notable events from the trip, confirm your re-engagement with your regular support structure, and remain available for a follow-up call in the days after your return.

Structured debrief within 24 hours of return
Summary report shared with your care team if authorized
Follow-up availability for the 72 hours post-trip
Referral support if additional care is indicated
