Why now

Waiting feels safe. It isn’t.

Most families wait. They hope it passes. They wait for rock bottom. But addiction does not stand still, and rock bottom is not always a place people come back from.

It gets worse, not better.

Addiction grows with time. Each month makes the habit deeper and the way back longer.

The drug supply is deadly.

In BC, about five people a day died from toxic drugs in 2025. One bad batch is all it takes.

Every “not yet” costs something.

Jobs, marriages, health, kids’ trust. The longer it goes, the more there is to rebuild.

They won’t ask for help.

Addiction tells people they’re fine. Waiting for them to decide on their own can mean waiting too long.

Why skill matters

You may get one real chance. It has to be done right.

An intervention is not a family talk. It is a planned, high-stakes moment. Done badly, it can push your loved one further away. Done well, it opens the door to treatment the same day.

Your loved one will argue. They will bargain, cry, get angry or walk out. That is normal. What matters is what happens next. That is where experience counts.

He has seen it all.18 years and hundreds of interventions. Craig knows the arguments before they come, and what to say back.
He reads the room.He knows when to push and when to wait. That keeps the door open instead of slamming it shut.
He picks the right approach.Trained in harm reduction and tough love. He matches the plan to your loved one, not a script.
Treatment is ready.Craig helps line up a treatment bed before the day, so a yes turns into help right away.
He leads it himself.No hand-offs. The person you talk to is the person in the room.

You've been carrying this alone. You don't have to anymore.

Craig has walked hundreds of families through to the other side.

When my family was in the middle of a high-stakes crisis with my eldest daughter, he guided us through every step with incredible wisdom and strength. … Seeing my daughter now in second-stage recovery is proof of the impact of his work.
