EHN Bellwood
Toronto

Evidence-based treatment for addiction and mental health disorders in the heart of Toronto.

LOCATED IN:
Toronto, ON

TREATMENT FOR:
Substance use disorder, trauma, PSTD, anxiety, depression, and eating disorders

EHN Bellwood Toronto is a mental health and addiction treatment centre that is distinguished by over four decades of expertise and a strong commitment to delivering exceptional patient care. In 1946, Dr. Gordon Bell pioneered a first-of-its-kind treatment in Canada: a space for soldiers returning from World War II who were experiencing PTSD and alcoholism. His groundbreaking work was the genesis of what today has become EHN Guardians.

EHN Bellwood Toronto may not exclusively serve military personnel, veterans, and first responders, but we take pride in offering specialized care for these groups. Our team includes highly experienced clinicians who understand the unique needs of this community. Additionally, EHN Bellwood is a leading choice for individuals seeking treatment for eating disorders and interpersonal trauma unrelated to service or work.

PROGRAMS AT EHN BELLWOOD TORONTO

EHN Bellwood Toronto provides an evidence-based treatment program in Toronto, Ontario, designed to address both substance addiction and mental health disorders simultaneously. Our dedicated interprofessional team is comprised of physicians, psychiatrists, nurses, psychotherapists, social workers, occupational therapists, dietitians, physical recreation experts, and support staff, all committed to delivering the highest standard of care.

Eating Disorders

For those who may be struggling with an eating disorder, EHN Guardians provides our Residential Eating Disorders Treatment Program. Our program provides a comprehensive, evidence-based and measurement-based approach for individuals struggling with eating disorders such as anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating disorder. The program is designed to address not only the eating disorder but also any underlying or co-occurring mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance use disorders. Treatment is delivered by our interdisciplinary team of specialists, including psychiatrists, psychotherapists, registered dietitians, and social workers. Patients will benefit from an individualized care plan that focuses on their nutritional rehabilitation, with supervised meals, and therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). These therapies help patients develop healthier thought patterns and emotional regulation skills towards food, supporting long-term recovery. In addition, Bellwood offers a unique concurrent treatment model, which means they can address eating disorders alongside other mental health or substance use disorder, making it one of the few programs in Canada that offers such integrative care.

Concurrent Trauma and Addictions

To treat those struggling with both trauma and addiction, we use Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) to help clients overcome workplace trauma, and in-vivo exposure to regulate emotional responses to real-time triggers. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) are employed to foster healthier thought patterns, emotional regulation, and mindfulness. Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) aids in processing trauma, while individual psychotherapy offers a supportive space for recovery concerns. We also provide group therapy, psychoeducational sessions, relapse prevention, and recreation therapy to promote long-term recovery and wellness.
