Call Craig — 1.778.840.9351Craig travels to Kelowna and the Okanagan for intervention work, bringing clinical expertise not readily available locally.
Kelowna has a distinctive addiction profile — high rates of alcohol use tied to wine industry culture alongside significant opioid challenges. Families here often feel isolated from credentialed intervention resources available in Vancouver or Victoria.
Craig works with the full spectrum of substances and mental health presentations seen in Kelowna: 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 Okanagan hold only private coaching certificates. When the stakes are this high, credentials matter.
Craig has driven from Vancouver Island to Kelowna to bring a client to treatment. Families can also fly him in to Kelowna International Airport. Public addiction and mental health services in Kelowna are run by Interior 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.

Yes. One client, Connor G., wrote in his Google review that Craig drove from Vancouver Island to Kelowna to pick him up and talked him into going to treatment.
The Okanagan has beautiful summers and a serious addiction problem. Craig doesn’t look away from either.
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.
I was struggling with alcohol addiction, and I was not willing to get help. He talked with my family, drove all the way from Vancouver Island to Kelowna to pick me up, sat with me and talked me into going to Together We Can for treatment. Because of him, I went.
