Mental Health, Trauma & Addiction Treatment for RCMP

EHN Canada offers treatment for serving and retired RCMP members, as well as Canadian Armed Forces members, veterans, and other first responders — including police, firefighters, paramedics, corrections officers, and emergency communications personnel — experiencing trauma, PTSD, operational stress injuries, substance use, and other mental health concerns.

Eligibility is determined through a clinical assessment, which considers symptom severity, medical needs, and the most appropriate level of care, including inpatient, hybrid, or virtual treatment options.

Many serving and retired RCMP members may qualify for coverage at little or no cost. Treatment may be funded through RCMP Health Services or Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) for retired members. Our admissions team can help confirm your coverage, assist with referral paperwork, and walk you through your options.

Getting help quickly is important. In many cases, treatment can begin within a few days of your initial assessment.

Our admissions team will guide you through the process and help coordinate admission timelines based on your needs and program availability. If you are being referred through RCMP Health Services, VAC, or a workers’ compensation board, we can work directly with your case manager to keep the process moving.

EHN Canada provides a full continuum of care built around the realities of RCMP and first responder life, so you can get the right level of support for your needs. Our treatment options include:

• Inpatient (residential) treatment, or addiction, trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety, and other mental health conditions, with 24/7 care in a structured environment, alongside a cohort of fellow RCMP members, military members, veterans, and first responders.
• Hybrid addiction programs that begin with a short inpatient stay for stabilization, followed by virtual therapy and Aftercare.
• Virtual Intensive Therapy Programs (VITPs) for addiction, mental health, and trauma, offering comprehensive treatment from home.
• Post-treatment support, including discharge planning, Aftercare groups, and access to our alumni community.

Our programs offer a holistic, structured schedule that supports your mental, physical, and emotional wellbeing. This includes individual therapy, group therapy, psychoeducation, physical wellness activities, and mindfulness or grounding practices. You’ll live onsite alongside peers who understand the realities of service — fellow RCMP members, military members, veterans, and first responders — in a supportive environment with 24/7 staff and access to clinicians, nurses, and counsellors. All meals, lodging, and essential amenities are included so you can focus fully on your recovery.

Our clinicians treat a wide range of concerns, including PTSD and trauma, operational stress injuries, moral injury, addiction (alcohol, drugs, prescription medications), anxiety disorders, depression and other mood disorders, and behavioural addictions. We specialize in helping RCMP members, military members, veterans, and first responders with concurrent disorders — such as PTSD alongside substance use — (also known as co-occurring disorders) who need comprehensive, evidence-based support.

Ongoing support is an important part of recovery. After your inpatient or virtual treatment has finished, individuals can access:

Yes. EHN Canada offers virtual programs that allow you to receive structured, evidence-based care from home — a practical option for members posted to remote detachments, those balancing shift schedules, and anyone who can’t step away from work or family for inpatient care. Virtual treatment is available for addiction, trauma, depression, and anxiety.
