MENTAL HEALTH AND ADDICTION TREATMENT FOR EMPLOYEES

We treat a wide range of mental health and addiction concerns, including:

• Depression, anxiety, and stress
• Workplace burnout and exhaustion
• Trauma and PTSD
• Substance use disorders (alcohol, drugs, medications)
• And concurrent disorders, where mental health and addiction occur together

Our inpatient, virtual, and hybrid programs support employees at any level of severity, with confidential, evidence-based care.

Common signs include:

• Noticeable changes in performance or productivity
• Increased absences, lateness, or missed deadlines
• Mood changes, irritability or withdrawal
• Difficulty concentrating, decision-making, or coping with workload
• Possible substance-related concerns, such as impaired behaviour

Employers don’t need to diagnose, simply recognize the changes, start a supportive conversation, and connect the employee with confidential help if needed.

Costs vary depending on program type (inpatient, virtual, hybrid), length of stay, and benefits coverage. We can work directly with benefit providers to help reduce or eliminate out-of-pocket expenses for employees. We also offer corporate partnerships and direct billing options for organizations that fund treatment on behalf of staff. To explore the treatment costs, please fill out our form here, and a member of our team will connect with you to review your needs and provide guidance.

Employers can refer employees directly to EHN Canada for mental health or addiction treatment. We work with HR teams, benefits providers, and disability-management professionals to determine eligibility, streamline referrals, and coordinate the right level of care.

We also support organizations through Mental Health Connect, a comprehensive solution designed for employers and benefits providers that offers timely access to our virtual programs, education for leaders on workplace mental health challenges, and a co-branded self-assessment tool.

This varies by program, and the severity of the employee’s mental health or substance use disorder. Some employees are able to maintain full-time hours by participating in flexible, Virtual Intensive Treatment Programs, while others may require short-term leave for inpatient treatment.

We treat all personal health information as strictly confidential and comply with Canadian privacy laws. We only share information with managers and HR professionals if the employee has provided explicit consent. Our approach ensures that the employee’s privacy is respected, while still allowing appropriate return-to-work planning and accommodations.

Burnout prevention starts with a healthy workplace. Employers can reduce burnout by promoting work-life balance, managing workloads effectively, encouraging open dialogue about mental health, and fostering a supportive and understanding work environment.

EHN Canada is proud to offer resources to help employers, help employees. View our webinars and blogs for additional support. We also offer Mental Health Connect (MHC), designed to help employees access treatment, learn about mental health, do self-assessments, and more. It also provides education to help leaders identify and respond to workplace mental health challenges.

Start by completing our referral inquiry form or calling us at 1-866-963-6343. Your employee, if willing, will then complete a confidential assessment with our clinical team to determine the most suitable mental health or addiction program. Once approved, we guide them through intake, timelines, and any required documentation. Most admissions can be scheduled quickly, helping ensure a safe and supported return to work.

Yes. Every employee who completes treatment has access to structured Aftercare, including ongoing group therapy, relapse prevention support, return-to-work planning and access to optional drug and alcohol monitoring. We also have an EHN Canada Alumni Association, a nationwide alumni network that provides community, peer support, and continued recovery resources. This helps employees maintain long-term progress and transition back to work with confidence.

Research shows that participation in alumni groups can significantly reduce relapse risk and improve long‑term recovery outcomes.

We also offer optional drug and alcohol monitoring following graduation, which is ideal for those with safety-sensitive jobs, as monitoring can often be requested by their employer.
