Our Approach to Helping Healthcare Professionals

 Bellwood’s support for healthcare workers who are enrolled in our Core Addiction and Mental Health Program is grounded in patient-centred, trauma-informed practices that incorporate various therapeutic techniques and evidence-based treatments, including:

  • An abstinence-based approach, combined with medication assistance therapy if needed, for a substance-free life.
  • Integration of self-help recovery groups, including SMART and 12-step models, to help you build the practices, principles, and social networks you need to recover.
  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for developing helpful thought patterns and healthy behaviours.
  • Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) to manage emotions and relationships, practice mindfulness, and overcome crises.
  • Art therapy for understanding thoughts and feelings that may otherwise be difficult to express.
  • Individual counselling for an empathetic and safe space to discuss personal recovery concerns and develop treatment goals.
  • Group therapy for peer support and professionally guided emotional processing.
  • Psychoeducation to understand the nature of addiction.
  • Mindfulness and physical exercise for creating healthy, lasting habits.
  • Relapse prevention groups for identifying relapse warning signs and developing strategies to support long-term recovery.

Bellwood’s Inpatient Treatment Produces the Best Results

When an inpatient program provide a more immersive environment, around-the-clock support, access to medical professionals, and a more comprehensive level of treatment, it often betters patients’ chances of recovery.

Known as one of the best inpatient facilities in Ontario, Bellwood is nestled within Toronto’s gorgeous Sunnybrook Park, surroundings well-suited for a peaceful recovery.

A longer inpatient treatment program produces better results than a shorter program. However, should your family, work, or life situation be more suited to a shorter or more flexible treatment program, Bellwood does offer an Intensive Outpatient Program.
