The people behind Nura Recover
Michael Triolo
Michael has worked in substance use treatment and recovery support for over a decade, beginning in community-based treatment settings before joining Marin County’s Recovery Coach program in 2017, one of the first initiatives of its kind in the region.
Over the years he has worked across housing support for people in recovery, county dual-diagnosis outpatient programming, and interventions, and holds certifications spanning professional intervention, medication-assisted treatment, and co-occurring disorders. In 2019 he founded a nonprofit sober living organization serving Marin County.
Michael co-founded Nura Recover to bring that same individualized, wrap-around approach to a dedicated outpatient program in San Rafael.

James Hayes, CDAC
James brings both professional training and lived experience to his work in substance use treatment. Having faced addiction and rebuilt his own life through recovery, he understands firsthand the challenges clients face — and the fact that a different life is possible, no matter where someone is starting from.
He has worked in co-occurring disorders medical detox and intensive inpatient treatment settings, supporting clients with substance use and mental health needs at every stage of care. In his current role at a medically assisted detox facility, he helps create a safe, structured, and supportive environment for clients in the earliest days of recovery.
James brings compassion, patience, and accountability to every client relationship, believing that people are more than their addiction, their mistakes, or their past. He is committed to helping clients acquire the tools to rebuild — because, as he puts it, the road to recovery is always under construction.
