Transforming Trauma

A New Model for Addiction Treatment with NARM-AC with James McNinch


Listen Later

Most addiction treatment models focus on behavioral change. And yet, many of these models fail at helping people fully recover from their addiction. Perhaps it is time to try something different? Applying NARM® to addiction brings focus to areas that behavioral interventions miss, like understanding the role of trauma, attachment, relationships, and shame. Addressing these areas has a profound impact on addiction recovery.

On this episode of Transforming Trauma, host Emily Ruth invites James McNinch, LCSW and PhD candidate, addiction specialist, to introduce NARM-AC™ (also known as NARMA™), the NeuroAffective Relational Model® - Addiction Centered, an approach he co-developed alongside Dr. Laurence Heller, the creator of NARM. Emily and James explore the evolution of NARM-AC and its application at Grata House, the premiere drug and alcohol treatment center located in Thousand Oaks, CA, where James serves as clinical director.

He is a NARM-AC Co-Founder who facilitates the creation of addiction treatment programs at the world’s most elite treatment centers, including the Grata House where he is the Clinical Director.
