Hybrid Addiction Treatment in Nova Scotia

This cost-effective treatment program from EHN Canada focuses on providing you with the intensive support you need, without having to commit to longer-term inpatient care. Our hybrid approach starts with a two-week stay at most of our residential facilities across the country, including our EHN Bellwood Nova Scotia facility in Lawrencetown, NS, with the option of a medically supervised detox if required. It is followed by EHN Online’s Virtual Intensive Therapy Program, a flexible and virtual approach that provides the same evidence-based treatment provided across the EHN Canada network.
