Caring Companions Transportation: Recovery Rides in Western Pennsylvania

A real trip, start to finish

Every ride has a reason.

This isn't a taxi. Every pickup is tied to something that matters: a next step, a meeting, a way home.

Detox / Treatment

Discharge, ready to go home

Outpatient

A driver who's trained, not judging

Work / Job Interview

We remove the stress of finding ways to get to work and back

Appointment or Meeting

IOP visit, AA/NA, sober living check-in

Home

Safely, on time, no questions asked

What Makes This Different

Classic rideshare programs can be very impersonal. We've modeled our program to be the exact opposite. A Caring Companion - for when you need it most.

Trained Drivers

Recovery basics, de-escalation, and appropriate boundaries. Before anyone drives a client.

Supportive Rides

Optional light check-in conversation, if wanted. Supportive, never clinical.

Discretion

Unmarked vehicles, consistent drivers, and no judgment. Ever.

Real Partnerships

Working directly with treatment centers and sober living homes, not one-off app requests.

Simple, On Purpose

Three steps to a booked ride

No accounts, no apps to download. Just an open slot and a few details.

Pick a time

Open the schedule and choose any available slot, Monday through Friday.

Share the details

Name, phone number, pickup and destination. That's all it takes.

Get picked up

Your driver arrives on time, ready to help. No explanation needed.

Why This Exists

Started by someone who saw the gap firsthand.

Justin Heinrichs

Founder & CEO

Through lived experience on the frontlines- we recognized the real barriers to recovery. It is our mission to help close that gap. This movement was born in the principle of service. For the last five years I have been working with people who are, and will always be, worth the effort. This is how WE give it back.

Transportation is one of the most common, and least talked about, reasons people in early recovery miss appointments, miss meetings, or don't make it home safely after treatment. It's rarely about willpower. It's about not having a ride, and not having anyone to call who understands why the ride matters.

Caring Companions Transportation exists to close that specific gap in Western Pennsylvania: reliable rides, provided by someone trained to understand what's actually at stake, without cost being the reason someone goes without.
