Some guardians prefer to focus on addiction-first programming and choose to attend treatment at our other EHN Canada facilities in this program. While not all EHN Canada facilities are dedicated exclusively to guardians members, the expertise of our teams ensures that their needs are met, and their treatment reflects the learnings and approaches developed from working with military personnel, veterans, and first responders.
By focusing primarily on addiction recovery, these programs offer a comprehensive, evidence-based and measurement-based approach that promotes long-term sobriety while supporting the mental health needs of all participants.

Addiction and Mental Health Program at EHN Guardians facilities
At EHN Guardians Rockies, we offer a dedicated treatment stream exclusively for guardians, recognizing their unique experiences and challenges.
As part of our Addiction and Mental Health Program at EHN Guardians facilities, this stream includes an additional week of treatment specifically focused on building trauma resilience and developing healthy coping strategies. When clinically appropriate, care is personalized using evidence-based therapies such as Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART).
This targeted approach helps individuals process traumatic experiences more effectively, reducing the risk of unresolved trauma developing into post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and supporting long-term addiction recovery.

Continuing support for ongoing success
Support from EHN Guardians does not end once you step out the door. We believe that ongoing recovery requires ongoing care. That’s why one year of Aftercare, an important part of relapse prevention and monitoring, is included for all eligible alumni.
To further strengthen your commitment to continued recovery, we also offer access to our app-based support. This tool enables you to set personalized goals, track your progress, and stay mindful of potential triggers, ensuring you remain proactive in your recovery journey.
The Aftercare Program also aims at helping you identify risks of relapse and obtaining the guidance and recommendations you may need for early intervention if required.
