Craig Fluter, CAC & CSUDA member — Canada’s leading interventionist. Not a coach — an addiction counsellor (CAC & CSUDA member). 18 years. Hundreds of successful interventions. Free confidential consultation 24/7.
Call Craig — 1.778.840.9351Craig travels to Courtenay and the Comox Valley as part of his Vancouver Island practice.
The Comox Valley has limited access to credentialed intervention professionals. Craig brings clinical expertise and certification that the local market lacks.
Craig works with the full spectrum of substances and mental health presentations seen in Courtenay: alcohol, fentanyl and opioids, cocaine, methamphetamine, cannabis, gambling, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, codependency, and concurrent disorders. He is trained to work with both youth and adults.
There are recovery coaches and there are certified counsellors. Craig is a CAC and CSUDA member — recognised designations in addiction counselling. Many interventionists operating in Comox Valley hold only private coaching certificates. When the stakes are this high, credentials matter.
Courtenay and the Comox Valley are about two hours north of Duncan on the Inland Island Highway. Families flying in can use Comox Valley Airport. Public services in the Comox Valley are run by Island Health.
Craig is not an emergency service. If someone is in danger right now, call 9-1-1. These free public lines can also help:
In BC, free naloxone kits are available at many pharmacies. If opioids are involved, keep one in the house.

Courtenay and the Comox Valley are about two hours north of Duncan on the Inland Island Highway. Families flying in can use Comox Valley Airport.
The Comox Valley has felt the full weight of the drug crisis. Craig has been there throughout.
Craig knows how to reach them — wherever you are in Canada.
Addiction gets worse with time. In BC, about five people a day died from toxic drugs in 2025 (BC Coroners Service). Rock bottom is not always a place people come back from.
Done badly, an intervention pushes people away. Craig has led hundreds. He knows what to say when they argue, bargain or walk out, and he has treatment ready so a yes means help that day.
“Seeing my daughter now in second-stage recovery is proof of the impact of his work.” — Sarah S., Google review. It starts with one call.
Craig had done the impossible and got my husband into treatment in 2018, and I knew he’d be able to help us again. With one phone call, Craig was on it. My husband is now sober and there is light at the end of the tunnel I could not previously see.
