Real reviews from families and individuals who hired Preston Durnford and Epic Journey for intervention, recovery coaching, family support, and treatment placement. Names shortened for privacy. Every review is real.
"Preston saved our family. We had tried everything for our son. After one phone call with Preston we finally had a plan that actually made sense. His intervention was calm, professional, and our son walked into treatment that same afternoon. Two years later he's still sober."
"I was a high-functioning alcoholic for 15 years. Nobody knew. Preston was the first person who didn't make me feel ashamed and didn't try to put me in a program that wasn't right for me. His coaching is the reason I'm still sober today."
"We had been through three treatment centers with our daughter. Preston's treatment placement was the first one that actually fit. He didn't just send us somewhere — he vetted it personally and stayed with us the entire time she was there."
"Family support coaching with Preston changed how I approach my brother's addiction. He gave me real strategy, not platitudes. I finally feel like I'm helping instead of enabling."
"Preston walks his talk. He's been through it. That's why his coaching works — there's no fake clinical distance, just real experience and a real plan."
"The intervention was nothing like what I expected. No drama, no ambush. Just a calm structured conversation and my dad finally said yes to treatment. We've waited 20 years for this."
"Preston returned our call at 11pm on a Saturday. He flew to us in 36 hours. My husband is now 18 months sober. I cannot recommend Epic Journey enough."
"I've been in recovery 8 years and I still meet with Preston for mentorship. He's the rare person who actually keeps growing himself and brings that to every session."
"The Epic Journal is the only daily practice that's stuck for me. I do it every morning. Preston built something simple and powerful."
"After my dad's intervention, Preston stayed engaged with our whole family for months. He helped us rebuild, not just stop drinking. That continuum matters."
"Discreet, professional, and unbelievably good at his job. Preston handled a very sensitive family situation with grace. We will always be grateful."
"Worth every penny. We spent six figures on programs that didn't work. Preston's coaching was a fraction of that cost and the only thing that did."
"Preston's network of treatment programs is the real deal. He doesn't refer to people who pay him — he refers to programs he'd put his own family in. You can tell."
"I'm a physician. Skeptical by nature. Preston is the real thing. Decades of operator experience in this space — and a heart for the families."
"Family coaching is what saved us. My son is still in active addiction but I am no longer in pieces. Preston gave me my life back while we wait for him to be ready."
"Preston speaks the truth. He told me things I didn't want to hear and they were exactly what I needed. That's why his clients stay sober."
"I called Epic Journey not knowing what I needed. Preston listened for 45 minutes and gave me a clear next step. Even if I hadn't hired him, that call alone was worth it."
"My wife's intervention was 4 years ago. She's still sober and we're closer than ever. Preston is the most experienced person I've worked with in this space."
"I came in needing mental health placement, not addiction. Preston's network covered that too. He found us a residential program that fit perfectly."
"The coaching sessions are direct, practical, and rooted in real life. No therapy-speak. Just the actual work."
"Preston gave us hope when we had none. The intervention worked. The placement worked. The coaching after worked. Our family is whole again."
