Bellwood Health Services

Bellwood Health Services, an EHN Canada facility, offers a holistic approach to the treatment of addiction and related mental health disorders. They offer a wide range of options depending on each individual's specific needs. Bellwood provides custom, tailor-fit programs that are right for each client. Knowing that addiction is a multi-faceted disease with many factors, Bellwood's staff pride themselves on treating not only the addiction, but any underlying or accompanying mental health factors, such as trauma, that contribute to substance use. Bellwood is staffed by a dedicated and highly qualified team of doctors, nurses, social workers and psychotherapists, occupational therapists, and other specialists. They have industry-leading programs that address alcohol and drug addiction, depression and anxiety, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), personal trauma, eating disorders, and behavioral addictions such as gambling addiction. Services include on-site medical detox, residential treatment, a wellness centre with optional massage, chiropractic, and acupuncture treatments, intensive outpatient programs (IOP) via EHN Online, a family program to help loved ones heal, and 12 months of aftercare services.

Bellwood has comfortable accommodations along with an on-site gym, hearty meals prepared by passionate chefs, and plenty of green space for relaxing. It is perfectly situated in a green oasis in Toronto, minutes from downtown and tucked away into beautiful Sunnybrook Park. Bellwood is a fully-accredited facility founded by leading addiction specialist Dr. Gordon Bell, and has been healing the community for over 35 years.

Bellwood has specialized services for healthcare providers, people who have suffered concussion and need additional support throughout their treatment, and those with eating disorders staffed by specialized psychiatrists and registered dietitians. Bellwood hosts the nation's only inpatient OCD program run by Sunnybrook hospital. The Trauma Recovery Program is an inpatient program for people who have suffered personal or workplace trauma.

All programs utilize a holistic approach to treatment combined with the latest evidence-based treatment modalities in both group and individual settings. Treatment can include individual counseling, motivational interviewing (MI), prolonged exposure therapy (PET), cognitive processing therapy (CPT), virtual reality, and peer support groups like 12-Step meetings and SMART recovery. Clients in the programs have the opportunity to learn mindfulness, emotion regulation, communication, conflict resolution, life skills, and more, for lifelong recovery.
