Effective Drug and Alcohol Addiction Treatment  

At EHN Bellwood Toronto, a part of EHN Canada, we have created and administered treatment programs for addiction and related mental health disorders for over 40 years. Our evidence-based treatment model is rooted in the the work of our co-founder, Dr. Gordon Bell, a pioneer in addiction rehab and treatment in Ontario. EHN Bellwood Toronto, as an addiction treatment rehab centre, is defined by our long-standing experience, combined with our commitment to excellent patient care.

Addiction impacts every area of a person’s life. We believe that addiction rehab treatment programs should therefore be holistic and should address our patients’ psychological wellbeing, physical health, social world, and spiritual life. This comprehensive biopsychosocial approach is reflected in our inter-professional team of counsellors, doctors, nurses, occupational therapists, nutritionists, family therapists, and physical recreational professionals. As one of the leading treatment centres in Toronto, EHN Bellwood Toronto offers a range of services including inpatient rehab, outpatient addiction therapy, alcohol detoxification, virtual treatment, and holistic addiction treatment. We strive to be strengths-based in our approach, believing that patients possess strengths and skills that can be built upon to serve their recoveries.

At EHN Bellwood Toronto, we harness the power of evidence-based approaches in confronting addiction and mental health disorders. As one of the leading Canadian treatment facilities, we are committed to offering comprehensive, research-driven programs.

Recognizing the intricate relationship between addiction and coexisting mental health disorders, EHN Bellwood Toronto takes pride in its holistic dual diagnosis treatment. This integrated approach ensures that both the addiction and any underlying mental health issues are addressed concurrently – providing a more complete path to recovery.

GROUP AND INDIVIDUAL THERAPY
Our approach is further enriched by a combination of group and individual therapy sessions. These platforms encourage shared experiences and individualized treatment plans, ensuring every patient feels seen, heard, and understood. To further empower our patients, we offer extensive guidance on the nuances of the recovery journey, from understanding the nature of addiction and the mechanics of rehab to the specifics of a medical detox and intervention strategies.

Will BakerWill Baker ★★★★★ Life altering.ChallengingLoving. Thanks you Bellwoodmonica scottmonica scott ★★★★★ Attended Bellwood, with also completing the program has helped me grow, mentally, emotionally and physically as well as spiritually. They teach you a lot about addiction, the science behind it. Learn to deal with our inner child, it was definitely worth learning. Learning to be myself again. To be the person I want to be, (without the use of alcohol) I am still learning, I have slipped in the past but I don’t stay there very long. I get back into the habit of reaching out for help. I appreciate how good support system I created after leaving Bellwood (family friends, my Bellwood family) I wouldnt have been able to do it on my own to help myself, fixed relationships I ruined with loved ones, my kids having their mommy back. I got my life back thanks to all the staff and the support & personal councillors. You guys are truly a blessing and I wishing you many blessings. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year ❤️Echo144Echo144 ★★★★★ I really got a lot out of my seven weeks at Bellwood in the late summer/early fall of 2024. It was my third treatment centre experience, but the first with Bellwood. From my first desperate phone call to admission was only about 48 hours. I was able to address not only my addiction and mental health issues (anxiety and depression) but also their root causes, with the help of my excellent primary counsellor (Marisa). There was great class content led by excellent facilitators (Edward, Sarah Jane and Gillian among others) and support staff who were available 24/7. I felt like I was cared for with kindness and understanding. Bellwood strongly promotes and fosters a deep sense of community (because the opposite of addiction is not sobriety but connection!). They were also very accessible at a personal/individual level in spite of the large cohort (around 65 people in various programs). The building itself (rooms and classrooms) had a couple of small maintenance issues (for instance, the shower in my room needed some caulking) but they were attended to immediately. Bellwood provided on the whole a clean, safe and comfortable environment in a beautiful setting. There was one security issue during my stay but it was addressed and remediated quickly. There were also a few scheduling snafus. Overall though, it was a very positive, life-changing experience. This was my longest stay in treatment (seven weeks). Some days seemed long but the weeks flew by. The food was healthy, fresh and delicious, served cheerfully every day. I also had ample and productive time with empathic and professional doctors and nurses who listened and cared. I was able to meet with a psychologist shortly after admission which went a long way to assuage my mental health concerns.If you're reading this and struggling with your mental health or addiction(s), first, know that you're not alone. Second, give Bellwood some serious thought. It's a scary step to take, but it's the first in a beautiful journey of healing and self-discovery. You'll be glad you took it. Things get better!Maureen CarpenterMaureen Carpenter ★★★★★ Jane Anne EganJane Anne Egan ★★★★★ Beautiful grounds for a private visit.Beautiful serene location in the middle of a busy city. Prayers to all involved with Bellwood. Highly recommend their services.Erin BErin B ★★★★★ I never left a review when I left Sept. 4, 2023 and didn't think too but at one point I thought about it throughout the year. But I got an email to complete this review that it has been a year since leaving. I was in Bellwood for Binge-eating disorder linked to my Trauma and in the Mood and Anxiety Program. For me this place was incredible. It is a process. You go through a lot and experience a lot about yourself and the world and also see a lot in the program/facilities with others. Not saying this is good or bad, at times it can be difficult or it can be a learning lesson and growth with in yourself. Depends on the perspective and how you look at it. We are all trying to recover so the process can be scary and difficult for us and others. So that is how I looked at it and what we learn and what goes on with others I would say to myself this is practice and a test to when I get out in the real world. Meaning some ppl may discourage you or say negative things. I just listened and learned from it but did not let it get my own journey stuck and if it was hard I went to Ryan -massage or acupuncture - Miss you Errol and Ryan, Or a walk. And that was self Love and self care when things got tough I gave back to myself and of course spoke to the appropriate ppl about it like the Clinician we have. Why I say this is because you will hear a lot of good and bad things with anything in the program/people etc. in our life. And like I mention this is not a bad thing. What I am meaning is what you put in the program is what you will get out of it. So if you are not willing to work and do the work and listen and participate yes you may have a struggle. But if your trying to be open and honest and vulnerable (which can be scary) it truly is life changing in yourself and in others. You matter! Everyone matters and your journey and participation is important if you want CHANGE! Stick to it, it is not easy but coming out is also difficult but so worth it. Looking back on a year. I am so thankful to everyone there. All the staff and people and individuals you meet. They have touched my heart and mind and soul in many different ways that some of them don't even realize. So today I can say that please stick to it and any difficulties bring attention to yourself, write it down, talk about it, process it. That you will get there and one day at a time. You got this. Trust the process like they say it is difficult in the moment but if you allow it you are meant to go through it to make a difference in your life, others and the world! Your pain/difficulties/trauma/addiction you struggle with has purpose and meaning. You just like I, will look back and understand and see why! You got this!!!!Mike McClellanMike McClellan ★★★★★ For me Bellwood was a life changing experience which has laid a solid framework for my recovery.js_loader

Bellwood saved my life! I suffer from PTSD and alcohol addiction. I was there for a total of nine weeks and it was the best experience of my life. The counsellors and nurses are amazing and the programs are excellent! The people that I met are people I will remember for the rest of my life as we all have a familiar bond and it will stay that way. I forgot what it was like to live my life again but Bellwood brought that back to me. I also have to mention the amazing kitchen staff because the food is state of the art. You'll never go to another place to meet so many loving and caring people in your life! Thank you Bellwood for caring and teaching me that my life was worth living again!

“My Bellwood experience was very positive. The expertise of the staff was exceptional. My Primary counselor, group counselors, support counselors and facilitators were very knowledgeable, and understanding. Emotional, mental and physical education was extensive with the goal to improve understanding and knowledge in all aspects of our lives. The medical staff was comprised of doctors and nurses specializing in addiction. I couldn't ask for any better. Their aftercare program consists of weekly group therapy and an alumni program for all those that complete their programs. I am just starting the aftercare and will look forward to the fellowship."

Dave L.

"Exceptional staff and counsellors. I couldn't have asked for better staff. So caring and friendly, from the doctors, the counsellors, the front line addiction workers, everyone! I always knew I could talk to anyone. Programs were great, outings were awesome, gym was great."
