Continuing Care

Continuum of Care: A Lifetime of Support

At EHN Canada, we minimize the chance of relapse with our continuum of care – an ongoing process that extends beyond inpatient or outpatient treatment. After intensive treatment, you can participate in an extended care program, receive continuing care near home, and connect with our supportive alumni network. We are with you for as long as it takes – no matter what – as you navigate your journey to recovery.

Meghan's Path (click here)

From age 12 into her 20s, Meghan often drank to the point of blacking out, believing that alcohol helped her deal with her problems. If she hadn’t gotten help, she wouldn’t have made it another year. But she did, checking herself into Edgewood’s residential treatment program for alcohol addiction. Upon completion, Meghan realized that she needed more support, and chose the extended care program. These days, she’s doing weekly aftercare at the EHN Vancouver clinic, rebuilding her life.

Steven's Path (click here)

Steven used cocaine to escape work stress, but his secret began to affect his home life. Confronted by his family, he decided to get help. After a careful assessment, we recommended an intensive outpatient program for substance use, giving Steve the flexibility to receive nine hours of therapy and support per week, without interfering with his daily life. Steve now has group and individual therapy once a week to help him continue his journey to recovery, gaining the skills and courage to create a better future for himself and his family.

Will's Path (click here)

As a police officer, Will was too ashamed to admit that he was addicted to drugs, thinking he’d lose his job and family if he confessed. Will’s fear and shame isolated him from his colleagues and friends, and instead of reaching out for help, he used more drugs. Luckily for Will, his family and co-workers never gave up on him, helping him connect with Bellwood. The treatment team for first responders gave Will the tools, self awareness and support network he needed to live an honest and healthy life for his loved ones, and himself.

Susan's Path (click here)

As a competitive gymnast, Susan’s eating disorder started when she was 12 years old. Pressure to be thin meant that Susan never felt good enough. She learned how to control her calories and restrict food, while cutting out food groups and exercising excessively. After many failed attempts to get better, Susan entered WaterStone Clinic’s residential treatment program for anorexia nervosa. Through the WaterStone program, Susan found her path in recovery. Today, she lives with purpose, love, and confidence.

Paul's Path (click here)

For Paul, watching porn was just an excuse to avoid how bad he felt about himself. He began to spend his paycheques and pull all-nighters to watch porn. With the help of our team of certified sex addiction therapists at the EHN intensive outpatient program for compulsive sexual behaviours, Paul discovered why his behaviour started, and how to start healing. Upon completion, he began seeing a therapist at EHN for individual counselling. Paul is grateful for having gone through the program, and for all the wonderful experiences he is now able to discover.

Testimonials

The staff at EHN are some of the most supportive, professional, well-trained people in the field of addiction and recovery.

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!
