Dear Kevin, September 5, 2008
I just want to write to you to let you know that I can never thank you enough for all your help with Justin. I truly feel that I would have never been able to get Justin to go for treatment by myself. You were absolutely great at what you do and I would recommend you to anyone who was in trouble and needed help. I got a letter from Justin on Friday the 5th and he is doing well, he wants us to pray for him so that this time he can win this battle and he says he wants to be himself again. He says it hurts him to know the pain he caused all of us and he is sorry, he misses us and loves us. This letter was great news to me because it means that he is in a good place and he wants to get better and I thank you for helping us get him there.

As the parents of a 19 year old son we cannot thank you enough for what you did for us. We could not have gotten him the help he needed without you and your services. Out of all the firms I called, yours stood out among the rest. Your passion, dedication, and your understanding made the difference. You hung in there with us. You didn't just put a check in the square and say that's it. Sorry! You worked with us and made great things happen for our son. The "War on Drugs" seems such an empty title except for your grassroots efforts. I for one will make sure more parents and loved ones know about you, your services, and your talent.
Gratefully yours,
Sandra M. Florida

Dear Kevin, April 26, 2007
For the rest of my life, I will remember the night I pulled up your website on my computer, dialed the number, and you picked up the phone. That was probably one of the most important days of my life. You were there to show me the answer we were looking for and to truly understand in a new and profound way, just how desperately we needed to do what we did. I just can’t thank you enough for how available you always were to talk to me – you gave me so much of your time, and of yourself as you shared the pain of you’re your story with me. I’ve thought about how many people just like me you must talk to everyday and how there’s just a lot of pain and sadness that you engage in with people constantly. You are an amazing and special person and your heart and passion spoke so clearly to me in helping me to truly understand what needed to happen. You are a gift to have to us who feel hopeless and paralyzed by this disease – you’re kind of like moses parting the red sea! Where there seems to be no hope or help – you showed me how there is in fact a way – it’s not easy, or pretty – the whole thing was just about the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my entire life – but it was our answer! And it was so worth it. I hate to even think what would happen in all of our lives if we hadn’t gotten help from you.
Bless you Kevin!
Fondly!

Dear Kevin, August 4, 2005
Words cannot express how grateful both Dan’s dad and I are for what you have done for our son. There is no doubt in our minds that if we did not act when we did, Dan’s situation would have only escalated and would have made it much more difficult to reach him. We both know that the road ahead will be difficult as to not fall back to the way things use to be. Change is hard but at the same time exciting. We are learning to take one day at a time.
Kevin, you are truly a gift sent to us by God. Thank you for guiding our son down the right path to the “first day of the rest of his life”.

Dear Kevin, May 22, 2005
I would like to thank you for all what you have done for my son Kevin and I, including our family and friends. I was lost in the jungle of my son’s alcohol and drug addiction, I didn’t know where to turn or what to do. So I asked God to help me to help my son and he lead me to you guys through relatives and friends prayers. After I spoke with Kevin Dixon, he reassured me that I was doing the right thing and was in good hands to do this intervention with KD Consulting Corporation. Kevin made me feel confident that this was the way to handle my son’s situation, I trusted him.
I appreciated your thoughtfulness and caring even after the job was done. Your follow up call whether if we crossed the Mexico border and your thank you letter I received made me feel grateful that theirs men like you that are doing Gods work by helping and saving lives.
Thank you. Peace and God’s blessing be with you.
Sincerely,
Nelson

I want to take this opportunity to personally thank you from the bottom of a father’s heart. You went way above and beyond the call of duty. From the first moment we spoke, I felt that I was putting my son’s future in the right hands. Your experience, passion for what you are doing, and insistence on doing whatever was necessary to accomplish our goals of getting Thornton into treatment, instilled in me the confidence to proceed ahead with the intervention. Again, God was in control all along.
During the day prior to the intervention and the days following, your availability and continued passion for my son’s welfare allowed me to get through a week that can only be described as being hellish. I have agonized over my son’s drug us and addiction for two years now and have felt powerless to deal with it. The dedication you showed through this process allowed me to stay focused and make good decisions just the right words to keep us all focused on the severity of the problem and the enormity of the task at hand – saving my son from his addiction.
As a result of the intervention, as you know, we discovered that Thornton ’s problem was much worse and involved than we all had imagined. Discovering that my son had been using heroin came as a complete shock and to later discover that he had been purifying meth for resale as well as seeking methadone, only served to reaffirem that this intervention occurred not a moment too soon.
When I first called you, I was just seeking information, and wouldn’t have given it a level of priority had it not been for you insistence that something needed to be done right away. Like many parents, I had to a certain extent, had my head in the sand and refused to believe the sweet, loving, caring son whom I had nurtured since birth was deep into his drug addiction at the age of 16. It scares me to think what would have happened to my son if you had not convinced me of the need for immediate action and had the ability to put together the intervention in less than a week.
Again Kevin, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your involvement. In addition, thank all the staff behind the scenes there that make it possible.
The war of my son’s drug addiction is not over yet, the battles are still being fought as we speak, but for now we can chalk one up for the good guys. My son is in a safe environment where he cannot use drugs, have contact with his drug using and enabling associates (I refuse to call them “friends”), and he will have the opportunity to get treatment to understand why he has been using drugs and to equip him with the tools he needs to stay sober upon his return home.
I hugged my son goodbye on Thursday night and left a drugs addicted child there in that room at the hospital. I hope and pray that upon his return that in his place will be a sober young man ready to take on the challenges in his life.
Thank you again.
Aloha,
Doug

Dear Mr. Dixon, October 24th, 2006
I had to write to you and express how grateful I am for the time, energy, wisdom, resources and support you have given my family. I was so impressed with how you made yourself available to us at a moments notice and answered any question or concern what we had. Your professionalism and warmth gave us the confidence that we needed to get everyone on board and do what needed to get done. Financially, this was not an easy thing for us to do and it was worth every penny.
I feel that the whole experience was more a series of miracles. I knew my sister needed help and I knew we needed help, but what we got was more than I could even have hoped for. The intervention was the first time my mother, step-father, brother and myself have worked together as a family unit. All of us had never even decorated a Christmas tree with every person in the room. Truly, the intervention was as much for us as it was for Adria.
Looking back on that day, when she walked out, it was devastating. We were crushed, as you can only be when you have given every last bit of yourself and failed. I wasn’t sure how everyone would be able to survive the bottom-line we had laid out, but I also knew we had done the right thing for her and for us.
When Adria returned and said she needed to trust all of us more than herself and get help, it was on of the most joyful moments of my life. In her moment of clarity I saw my sister again as if a mask had been taken off. We have Adria back. I know there is a lot of difficult work ahead, but I see a potential for us as a family that I never even considered before. Because of how vulnerable we had to be in the intervention we see each other differently now. Particularly with Jaime, my step-father, I see the promise of a real relationship rather than living as polite strangers. I’ve known him all my life, but the intervention was the first intimate moment we’ve shared.
I will highly recommend all of you to anyone who needs help in breaking through to a loved one. I look forward to updating you on our progress. God Bless you in your life and the vitally important work that you do.
With deep appreciation,
Erica O.
