NAM Academy

NAM’s holistic healing curriculum is built on the Recovery Diamond Model — a unique framework that integrates mind, body, emotion, and spirit to promote balanced recovery.

This model emphasizes connection, stability, self-awareness, and growth, guiding every stage of healing across all NAM programs.

Each program at NAM is designed within this recovery framework to help individuals and families rebuild balance, strength, and long-term well-being through compassionate, evidence-informed, and spiritually aligned care. 

Personalized Recovery Program (PRP)

The Personalized Recovery Program (PRP) is the foundation of all NAM programs. It provides an individualized, flexible structure that adapts to each person’s recovery journey and life circumstances. The PRP model integrates medical supervision, trauma-informed care, and self-efficacy-based methods to help clients gradually become self-reliant and confident in managing their recovery. 

Every NAM program listed below is a part of the PRP framework, designed to help clients and families build long-term stability, emotional balance, and holistic well-being.
