Inpatient Care Meets At-Home Convenience
Inpatient Care Meets At-Home Convenience
For those who are looking for flexible treatment that is just as effective as full-time inpatient care, EHN Bellwood Nova Scotia’s hybrid addiction program offers the best of both worlds. Clients can start out with 2 weeks of inpatient stabilization and then receive 8 weeks of virtual programs from the comfort of their own home. Clients receive all of the counseling and medical care that inpatient clients receive while tracking their progress in an app.
Strengthen Family Bonds
Strengthen Family Bonds
When a loved one is struggling with addiction or mental illness, the entire family feels the impact. Because family support is essential, they offer programs to help families understand addiction, trauma, and mental illness. Many clients’ families report improved communication, trust rebuilt, and healthier relationships because of the valuable resources, education, and support groups.
Get Expert Care when Problems Pile Up
Get Expert Care when Problems Pile Up
Sometimes life gets complicated and people struggle with more than one problem at once. Maybe clients are having trouble with drugs or alcohol, feeling really sad or worried all the time, dealing with bad memories that won’t go away, or even struggling with eating. Often, these problems can happen together, making things feel overwhelming. The team of caring experts knows how to help with all of these issues at once, making clients feel heard which leads to lasting change.
Transform Pain into Peace
Transform Pain into Peace
For clients who are ready to reclaim their lives from the grip of trauma, EHN Bellwood Nova Scotia specializes in treating those painful experiences that continue to affect their daily lives. Clients work with a group of caring professionals—doctors, nurses, therapists, and others—who all have special training in helping people heal from using proven methods. These methods help clients find ways to cope and even enjoy life again, free from the weight of trauma.
