Recovery, taken to another level.

This isn't the average rehab pipeline. It's confidential interventions, real-world recovery coaching, family support, and vetted treatment placement built for the people who can't afford to do this halfway, high-performing professionals, action-sports athletes, executives, young adults, and the families behind them. 500+ successful interventions. Twelve-plus years of in-the-trenches experience, not theory.

  • Orange County's #1 private interventionist, hundreds of successful interventions led by Preston Durnford
  • Built & operated multiple treatment centers in SoCal and other states (subacute detox, primary mental health, dual-diagnosis outpatient, sold both); author of The Epic Journal
  • Trusted by high-level CEOs, company founders (private by agreement), executives, families, professional athletes from the Red Bull & Monster Energy world, people coming home from prison and off the street, and 7 years of direct work with foster youth and partners like Young Life
  • One person, every phase, before treatment, during, and the rebuild after. Not a handoff.
  • In-person across Orange County · Virtual care nationwide · 24–48 hour mobilization · 100% confidential

About Preston

This work is personal.

I lost my father to suicide in 2015 and my brother to a fentanyl overdose in 2019. Recovery has never been theoretical for me. It is the work of my life.

I have worked one-on-one with 3,000+ people, built and sold multiple treatment centers, led hundreds of successful interventions, and built Epic Journey around something this industry rarely does, telling families the truth and walking with them all the way through.
