Drug Intervention Success Stories

April 4, 2003

The nightmare of drug abuse isn't only with the addict but also with the family and friends of the addict. Ken Seeley and Kim were a welcome breath of hope tempered with caution and experience. Kim with compassion and experience talked to my husband and I for as long as we wanted about how the program works and left the decision entirely in our hands to think about and decide what we would do then she turned us over to Ken.

Ken continued the conversation with compassion, hope, caution and hard facts about how this could be done. The entire decision making time was left up to us but he was ready to act immediately; we never felt pressured to send money right now or it would be too late. Being business people and living so far away, this would have made us cautious.

The intervention had to be done without us there because of time and travel restraints, but two of John's friends were able to pull it off without a hitch; keeping us informed all the way. Ken seemed to know how anxious we were for information and he called several times even to the point of saying " I'm outside the motel and waiting for his two friends to show up. Oh, here they are now. I'll call in a few minutes." The compassionate and professional phone-call explaining they were with John right then and asking us to read our letters. John was not happy at this point, but thanks to Ken and John's friends, he agreed to go.

John's father and I had the best nights sleep we have had in four years, and I can recommend Ken & Kim to anyone, and I tell everyone how compassionate they are. WE were a family with no hope, and now thanks to Ken we are a family with hope and an optimistic outlook for the future.

Sincerely,
