EHN Bellwood Nova Scotia

EHN Bellwood Nova Scotia provides residential treatment for addiction and mental health disorders in a calm, homelike setting in rural Nova Scotia. Treatment takes a holistic approach that considers both mental and physical wellbeing, combining individual and group therapy with evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT). Wellness activities including yoga, meditation, fitness, art therapy, and time outdoors complement clinical care, while peer support and family programming help strengthen connections that can support recovery.

Receive Expert Care in a Smaller Setting

The facility maintains a high clinician-to-patient ratio, allowing for more individual attention through both one-on-one and small group sessions. Its multidisciplinary team includes doctors, psychiatrists, nurses, psychotherapists, counsellors, and coaches who work together to support each patient throughout treatment. Nurses and counsellors are available around the clock, with doctors and psychiatrists providing on-site medical care.

Find Space to Slow Down and Focus on Recovery

Set on more than 110 acres of fields and woods, EHN Bellwood Nova Scotia offers a peaceful setting where patients can step away from everyday distractions and focus on recovery. Time outdoors is an important part of the experience, with plenty of opportunities to walk, explore the property, and enjoy the surrounding nature. The calm, rural environment complements treatment by creating space for movement, reflection, and connection throughout the day.

Build Skills for Lasting Recovery

Treatment includes relapse-prevention strategies and practical skills patients can use as they transition back to everyday life. Support continues long after a stay at EHN Bellwood Nova Scotia, with one year of Aftercare available to many patients who complete treatment, as well as access to the EHN Canada Alumni Association for continued peer connection and support.
