Private Support for Drinking or Drug Use — for Professionals in Vancouver
If something about your drinking or drug use isn’t sitting right — but you’re not looking for a program — this may fit.
Why is it so hard to admit something might be off?
You’re not unaware. You see the pattern, and you feel the consequences building. You may have already tried to manage it on your own—but the hesitation isn’t really about honesty. It’s about what honesty might require: disruption, exposure, a label you don’t want attached to your life. You don’t want to step away from your work or your family, and you don’t want this to define you.
So you negotiate with yourself. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn’t. But if you’re asking the question—even quietly—you may be closer than you think. Most men don’t reach out at collapse. They reach out when something starts to feel unstable. That’s where I work.
What this Is — and what it isn’t
This isn’t rehab, a group, or a program you’re expected to adopt. It’s not public, and it’s not about labelling you. This is a private, one-to-one working relationship where we look clearly at what’s happening with your drinking or drug use — and decide, deliberately, what your next step should be.
No drama. No declarations. No surrendering your life. You’re not blowing things up—you’re stabilizing them.
Who this is for
This work tends to fit people who are still functioning in their lives, value discretion and privacy, and don’t want their identity reduced to a diagnosis. They prefer direct, honest conversation, feel uneasy about their current behaviour, and are ready to look clearly at what’s actually happening.
If you’re looking for a large program or a community-based approach, there are excellent options for that. If you’re looking for private, focused, one-to-one support—this may be a good fit.
What happens next
We start with a conversation—one hour, confidential, with no obligation beyond that. You don’t have to decide everything, and you don’t have to commit to a long plan. You simply decide whether you’re ready to speak honestly with someone who understands addiction from the inside—and recovery from the long road out. From there, we take the next deliberate step.
