What Craig Does

Harm Reduction Interventions

Not every loved one is ready for full abstinence. Harm reduction meets them where they are — reducing immediate danger, protecting their life, and building the conditions where real change becomes possible.

How It Works

The process, step by step.

01

What harm reduction means · meeting them where they are

Harm reduction doesn't require immediate sobriety. It focuses on reducing the most dangerous risks — overdose, violence, legal consequences — while preserving the relationship and trust that eventually enables deeper change.

02

Why it works when other approaches fail · for the cases that aren't ready

For loved ones who have refused abstinence-based interventions, who aren't psychologically ready for sobriety, or where the immediate goal is simply keeping them alive, harm reduction creates a workable pathway forward.

03

Craig's specific training · one of the few in Canada

Craig is one of the few Canadian interventionists with specific harm reduction training. Most practitioners operate in abstinence-only frameworks. Craig uses harm reduction when the situation calls for it — without ideology.

04

The path forward · reducing risk, building trust

Harm reduction is rarely the final destination. It reduces immediate harm and builds the trust that eventually makes a full intervention or treatment pathway possible. Craig stays involved through that entire arc.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a harm reduction intervention?

A harm reduction intervention meets a loved one where they are rather than demanding immediate abstinence. It focuses on reducing the most dangerous immediate risks while preserving life and building conditions for further change.

Is harm reduction giving up on full recovery?

No. Harm reduction is often the realistic first step toward recovery for people not yet ready for abstinence. Keeping someone alive and in relationship is what makes a full recovery possible later.

How is Craig's harm reduction approach different?

Craig is one of the few Canadian interventionists with specific harm reduction training. Most operate in abstinence-only frameworks. Craig chooses the approach that fits each case — he uses harm reduction without apology when it's what the situation calls for.

Why now

Waiting feels safe. It isn’t.

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.

Why Craig

You may get one real chance.

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.

There is hope

People do come back.
