The person acknowledged by Together We Can as Canada’s leading interventionist.
Craig Fluter has spent 18 years full-time in the field of addiction and mental health. He is a CAC & CSUDA member with a college degree in Addiction and Family Counselling — a professional designation in addiction counselling.
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.
