To Whom It May Concern:
My son Justin had developed a dependence on Meth over
a course of 9 months. We took him to see a psychologist
and they said he was depressed and needed a psychiatrist.
We made two appointments but he wouldn't go. We couldn't
get the appointments for 6 weeks. By that time Justin
didn't want to go. We took him to a drug treatment facility
in Las Vegas. They said he could go to outpatient therapy.
That was a joke. All that was happening was Justin's
drug habit was getting worse.
Finally my wife and I had Justin arrested for domestic
violence. He was in jail for almost three days. What
were we going to do when he got out? I had a card for
Willow Creek with Kevin Dixon's name on it. It was 5
P.M. I believe when I called and talked to Kevin about
our son Justin. We told him how desperate we were and
didn't know what to do. Kevin said he would be on an
airplane to Las Vegas in a couple of hours. We couldn't
believe it. A couple of hours, it takes 6 weeks to get
it to see a psych. I met Kevin at the airport and we
talked about Justin's drug problem. He knew exactly
what was going on because he is a former addict. We
went to our house and talked some more and he said he
could help Justin. I went to pick Justin up from jail
and when we got home, Kevin was waiting for him. This
was a total surprise for Justin. Over the course of
the next couple of hours Kevin talked to Justin to develop
a relationship. I also talked to Josh Lannon who runs
the center. They both assured me that they would do
whatever it takes to help our son.
Justin has just started treatment, but I feel very
confident it will succeed because of Kevin's dedication
to his job. Having someone fly to your city on a moments
notice because a family member is in trouble is commendable.
I have been trying for months to get any help, but all
I got was lip service. Kevin intervened in our life
when my son's life was at stake and we were at our wits
end. My wife and I have but our trust into Kevin Dixon's
hands to put my son's life back together.
Sincerely,
Eric T. Johnson
