Programs and Services (Must have an intake before starting programming)

NAM Academy

NAM’s holistic healing curriculum is adapted into several programs tailored to a client or family member’s life situation and stability. These programs are listed below:

Personalized Recovery Program (PRP)

This is a medically supervised drop-in day program designed for individuals struggling with crisis or difficultly attending appointments. Those enrolled in this program create schedules with their availability in mind and participate in programming that strengthens their self-practice. Clients learn stress/craving mitigating techniques (i.e., flash walking, trauma tapping, etc.) which gradually allow them to become self-reliant and in charge of their recovery. Clients also have daily interaction with the clinic’s personnel for check-in and treatment.

Intensive Family Support Program (IFSP)

An innovative program designed to educate family and friends of someone who suffers from addiction. Addiction affects the whole family support system, and the support for this condition is best undertaken by the whole family. Often family members do not know what their role is or are frustrated by the actions of their loved one. The program teaches families/friends how to function as a therapeutic community of being for their loved ones. This holistic approach often accelerates healing and promotes sustained recovery in the long run.

NAM NIWAS Inpatient Recovery Program (Men’s and Women’s)

(Funded by Recovery Alberta)

NAM Residential Treatment Program is a licensed residential addiction treatment initiative that provides low-cost housing for individuals struggling with addiction, focusing on those who are marginalized. We use an evidence-based therapeutic community paradigm, where a nurturing environment helps clients re-establish healthy recovery and living habits. We assist in treating the “whole person” socially, psychologically, mentally and spiritually. This method involves teaching residents to learn that recovery is a process. It involves learning to live comfortably and enjoyably as a productive and responsible member of the community. This practice is healing the person as a whole through learning to work, develop personal relationships, strengthening family ties, practicing engaging in positive life activities and developing spiritually while maintaining recovery.

Prospective clients must be committed to their healing journey, and commit to sobriety. If you are not sure if this is the right fit for you, looking at NAM Academy Online videos can give you a sense of what the curriculum is.

NAM Recovery Groups

Healing takes time, sometimes it happens fast, and sometimes it happens slowly. Our group programs provide facilitated opportunities to be connected to community through groupwork and courses that happen on a weekly basis. The groups are facilitated by a qualified professional that can assist in managing group dynamics to ensure that it s a productive session for all. Authenticity is key to the group, and what you bring is what you get out! Attendance in all of the groups listed below are by invitation only.

Recovery Coaching and Counselling

Our multidisciplinary team employs self-efficacy based methods and techniques to foster clients’ self-connection. Although one-on-one counselling is available, clients derive the most benefit by participating in various complementary programs.
