Call Craig — 1.778.840.9351Craig is based nearby and understands the specific challenges facing rural Cowichan Valley communities.
Lake Cowichan and the upper Cowichan Valley are underserved by addiction intervention resources. Craig fills this gap directly — bringing clinical expertise to families where few credentialed practitioners operate.
Craig works with the full spectrum of substances and mental health presentations seen in Lake Cowichan: 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 Cowichan Valley hold only private coaching certificates. When the stakes are this high, credentials matter.
Lake Cowichan is about 30 minutes west of Craig’s office in Duncan, on Highway 18. Public services in the Cowichan 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.

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.
When I had hit rock bottom I came to Craig’s program. It has helped me learn how great living in sobriety can be. … I don’t know where I’d be without the help he has extended to me.
