Recovery Transportation Systems

08/21/2026

Transportation can be the difference between getting to treatment and staying in treatment.

A 2025 study found that 84.9% of people surveyed identified transportation as a major barrier to accessing or remaining in medication treatment for opioid use disorder.

Earlier national research also found that outpatient treatment programs offering car, van, or contracted transportation services had significantly higher treatment retention — including nearly three times the odds of remaining in methadone treatment for at least one year.

At Recovery Transportation Systems, this is exactly why we focus on creating reliable transportation programs for addiction recovery centers. Transportation isn’t just about getting from one place to another. It can be an important part of staying connected to recovery.

A big thank you to Jose at Pura Vida Recovery for sharing a few words about their experience working with Recovery Transportation Systems.

In early recovery, getting to essential appointments can be one more challenge in an already difficult time. RTS creates streamlined transportation systems that make it easier for recovery programs to ensure their participants get where they need to go — reliably and consistently.

We’re proud to have partnered with Pura Vida for the past five years and grateful for the trust they place in us.

Transportation is the hidden barrier to recovery.

I’ve had this book idea on my heart for quite a few years, and I’m excited to finally begin moving it forward.

I’m gathering submissions for a new book project and would love to invite people to be part of it. If this speaks to you, please take a look at the attached flyer.

Comments, ideas, suggestions, and shares are all welcome and deeply appreciated. And if you know someone who may have a story to contribute, please feel free to pass this along.

Thank you in advance for helping me get the word out. 💛
