About NEM Recovery Centers
NEM Recovery was established by Natalie Eva Marie following her own journey to recovery. NEM Recovery Centers is strategically situated in Laguna Beach, California, providing a calm, beachside atmosphere designed to support addiction treatment. The residential program is delivered in a warm, home-like setting with small groups, helping staff provide close attention while also encouraging meaningful connections. The center also maintains a separate residence for veterans, offering more specialized support tailored to their needs.
For many people, detox is the starting point of recovery. NEM Recovery Centers provides a medically supervised detox program, including medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to help ease withdrawal symptoms. While living on-site, clients participate in evidence-based services through a range of therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). The approach emphasizes healing from underlying trauma through focused trauma therapies, along with care for those who also live with co-occurring mental health conditions.
Alongside clinical treatment, NEM Recovery incorporates holistic elements into the program, including physical activity, nutrition education, and creative outlets. Clients may take part in art and music therapies, mindfulness and meditation sessions, nutrition workshops, and opportunities to build fitness habits. Throughout treatment, individuals also join community-based activities such as volunteering, group hikes, leadership training, and social skills workshops.
