Epic Journey Recovery provides tiered, in-person recovery programs built around personalized mentorship, clinical collaboration, and real-world experiential healing.

Each client works one-on-one with Preston Durnford, an ICF-trained recovery coach and published author, while also receiving coordinated care from licensed and credentialed professionals depending on their program tier.

The program begins with assessment and clarity, which may include:

• QEEG brain mapping to understand neurological patterns

• Functional blood work to assess hormones, micronutrients, and overall health

• A comprehensive evaluation of mind, body, spirit, and life direction

Clients then enter a structured six-month recovery plan centered around ketamine-assisted treatment, provided exclusively through qualified medical providers when clinically appropriate. This structure supports neuroplasticity, emotional processing, and deeper therapeutic progress.

Services may include, depending on tier:

• One-on-one recovery mentorship and accountability

• Ketamine treatment through licensed medical professionals

• Functional medicine support and lab interpretation

• Neurological insight via QEEG analysis

• Nutrition and lifestyle optimization

• Holistic and somatic practices, including bodywork and energy healing

• Spiritual and purpose-based exploration

• Experiential recovery, including activities such as snorkeling, surfing, hiking, and adventure-based confidence building

All clients receive The Epic Journal, a guided recovery journal authored by Preston Durnford. The journal is Joint Commission–accredited for behavioral health use and teaches practical tools for emotional regulation, self-reflection, and therapeutic writing.

Epic Journey Recovery focuses on integration, not just insight, combining professional care, structured planning, and lived experience to support long-term, sustainable recovery.

Getting started with Epic Journey Recovery is intentionally simple and personal.

There is no call center or 1-800 number. The process begins with a direct conversation, where trust and alignment come first.

You can reach out in any of the following ways:

• Call or text: 760-409-7544

• Email: Use the contact form or listed email on our website

• Instagram DM: @_EpicJourney

Your first step is a confidential conversation with Preston Durnford to understand your situation, goals, and whether Epic Journey Recovery is the right fit. From there, next steps are clearly outlined, including assessments, program tiers, and timing.

This approach ensures every person enters the program with clarity, intention, and mutual alignment, not pressure.

Epic Journey Recovery was built from over 11 years of experience working in behavioral health, including owning and operating multiple levels of care and working with thousands of individuals and families.

What became clear over time was this:
many people were missing intimate, one-on-one support, an open-minded approach, and real-world integration beyond a traditional office setting.

Epic Journey Recovery is different because it is immersive and personal.

We combine:

• Deep one-on-one mentorship

• Understanding the brain and biology through tools like QEEG and functional medicine

• Clinically appropriate experiences such as ketamine or plant-based therapies, supported by professionals with proper preparation and integration before and after

• Exploration of spirit, identity, and purpose, not just symptom management

But the biggest difference is this:
we don’t just talk about life, we go live it.

Growth happens outside the room. Clients are supported in:

• Facing fears, including the ocean and physical challenges

• Reconnecting with the body through movement and fitness

• Exploring nature through activities like hiking, surfing, and snorkeling

• Learning how to have fun again without substances

• Rebuilding confidence through real experiences

• Reconnecting and healing relationships with family involvement throughout the process

Everything is inclusive, individualized, and one-on-one. There are no large groups, no conveyor-belt treatment model, and no rigid ideology. The work adapts to the person, not the other way around.

Working with Preston Durnford is a deeply personal, one-on-one experience rooted in lived experience, trust, and genuine connection.

Preston has lived this work on both sides. He struggled with heroin addiction for many years and is now approaching 12 years of sobriety. Along the way, he has experienced profound loss, including the suicide of his father, the fentanyl overdose of his brother, and the passing of many friends and clients. These experiences have shaped how he shows up, not with judgment or rigid ideology, but with compassion, realism, and honesty.

After more than 11 years in behavioral health and working with thousands of individuals and families, Preston understands what tends to work, what doesn’t, and what people are often missing. His approach is open-minded and integrative, bringing together professionals who address the mind, body, spirit, and career direction, not just recovery in isolation.

What truly defines the experience is heart-to-heart connection. Preston’s strength is creating safety, clarity, and forward movement while holding people accountable to their potential. The work is personal, active, and rooted in real life, not confined to an office or a single modality.

Preston does this work because he genuinely loves it. His intention is simple:
to help people avoid unnecessary suffering and experience a meaningful, fulfilling life they can be proud of.
