Call Craig — 1.778.840.9351
Craig Fluter has spent 18 years full-time in the field of addiction and mental health. He is a Certified Addictions Counsellor (CAC) with a college degree in Addiction and Family Counselling — clinical credentials that most interventionists and recovery coaches simply don’t hold.
Craig leads every single intervention himself. No handoffs to junior staff. No scripts. After hundreds of cases across Canada, there is no family dynamic, no substance combination, no crisis point he hasn’t already navigated.
He is trained in both harm reduction and tough love, and he chooses the approach that fits each specific situation — never an ideology. He works with both youth and adults, across the full spectrum of substance use and mental health presentations.
The (Certified Addictions Counsellor) designation requires a college degree in addiction counselling, supervised clinical practice, and ongoing professional development. It is regulated by the Canadian Addiction Counsellors Certification Federation.
Many interventionists and sober coaches operating in Canada hold only recovery coaching certificates — which have minimal entry requirements and no clinical standard. When the stakes are this high, this distinction matters.
Caroline is a trained social worker and addictions counsellor working alongside Craig with the families West Coast Interventions serves. She brings clinical expertise in mental health, family systems, and trauma-informed care — providing a grounded, compassionate presence from initial family preparation through to ongoing recovery support.
She specialises in the family experience of addiction: the codependency, the grief, the exhaustion, and the complicated love that keeps families showing up even when everything feels impossible.
Brittany is the founder of Maeve Digital, an authority engineering and digital visibility studio. She built this site, manages West Coast Interventions’ digital presence, and makes sure the families who need Craig can find him at 3 AM when they finally type the search.

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. If you’re stuck in a hopeless cycle with your addicted loved one, Craig Fluter is the call you need to make.
