EHN Bellwood Toronto’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, EHN Bellwood Toronto is nestled within the city’s expansive 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, EHN Canada does offer an Intensive Outpatient Program and a Hybrid Addiction Treatment as well.
