Pilots’ Extended Care Program
Comprehensive Treatment and FAA-Approved Extended Care
Dilworth Center offers a Pilots’ Extended Care Program designed to help aviators navigate recovery while meeting FAA and HIMS program requirements.
Pilots’ Extended Care Program
Whether a pilot enters treatment through an inpatient facility before transitioning to Dilworth Center for aftercare or begins their primary treatment with us, our program ensures a structured path toward long-term recovery and FAA medical recertification.
Our extended care program is specifically tailored to meet the FAA’s requirements, providing pilots with the necessary treatment, documentation, and ongoing support needed to maintain compliance. The program is led by a primary counselor with over three decades of experience working with pilots, the FAA, and the HIMS program. This expertise ensures that pilots receive the specialized care and thorough documentation needed to fulfill regulatory requirements and return to their careers with confidence.
For pilots seeking a structured, FAA-approved recovery plan, Dilworth Center is here to help. Contact us today to learn more about how our Pilots’ Extended Care Program can support your journey.
If you’re here, you don’t have to navigate this alone.
Struggling with drugs or alcohol can feel particularly challenging for airline pilots, where the pressure to perform at your best is constant, and seeking help may seem daunting. But no one has to wait for things to spiral further before reaching out. Recovery isn’t just about stopping substance use—it’s about uncovering what’s beneath it, addressing unique stressors like the demands of your career, and charting a new course forward. Whether it’s for yourself or a fellow pilot you care about, support is available, and a life free from addiction is not only possible but sustainable.
Treatment Works
In general, I am happy with my life.
Through rigorous data analysis, we highlight the significant progress our patients make during their treatment journey. One key metric is the response to the question, “In general, I am happy with my life.” This data demonstrates the effectiveness of our programs in improving the overall well-being of our patients. This graph shows the average response to that question consistently improving for our patients from admission to 2 years after treatment.
