Programs and Services

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)

A medically supervised drop-in day program designed for individuals struggling with crisis or difficulty 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 Outpatient Program (IOP) (Level 1 and 2)

IOP is an experiential learning program focused on holistic recovery from addiction, mental health issues, and negative coping. Over the course of the following two programs, participants learn about common elements of holistic recovery and practice a wide variety of techniques that can be used to increase awareness, decrease stress, and help them move through blocks that have caused them to become stuck.

• IOP 1: This covers the basics of neuroscience behind addiction and mental health and introduces some key techniques that can be used to decrease stress. The program is offered in-person for 2 hours once a week for four weeks covering different topic every week

• IOP 2: This includes more advanced topics, as well as an expanded use of techniques to process blocks. The in-person program consists of 5 consecutive days of around 6 hours each, completed in the same week

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 Residential Treatment Program (Men’s) NAM Niwas cost including room, food, and utilities depends on the duration of stay - all clients follow the yogic diet

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.

• Resources for Recovery (online) Group: The workshop combines different modalities that are based on the integration of mind-body-spirit. In order to open our inner door to self-love and higher conscious awareness, brain-body safety is imperative. Over an accumulation of sessions, we build resources to weave them to support the highest good of the healing work.

• Men’s Group (online): Facilitated support groups that provides a safe environment for patients to openly share their experiences of addiction and mental health

• Coping with Grief (online): In this group, NAM’s approach to what grief is discussed. Each session will include strategies/tools/resources/reflection as well as homework to deepen the process of learning.

• Women’s Group (online and in-person): Facilitated support groups that provide a safe environment for women to openly share their experiences of addiction and mental health.

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.
