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 is based on Vancouver Island and serves the Greater Victoria area directly, typically available within 24–48 hours for urgent situations.
Victoria has a range of addiction services, but professionally led, clinically credentialed intervention is rare even here. Craig brings 18 years of practice and a professional designation to Victoria families who need more than a referral list.
Craig works with the full spectrum of substances and mental health presentations seen in Victoria: 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 Vancouver Island hold only private coaching certificates. When the stakes are this high, credentials matter.
Victoria is about an hour south of Craig’s office in Duncan, over the Malahat. He can be in Victoria the same day. Public addiction and mental health services in Victoria 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.
