EHN Canada

What EHN Canada does

EHN Canada (legal name EHN Canada, doing business as Edgewood Health Network) is a private for-profit operator of Canada's largest national network of accredited addiction and mental health treatment facilities. The company operates 10 inpatient facilities spanning British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario, Saskatchewan, Quebec, and Nova Scotia, complemented by a national Virtual Intensive Therapy Program (VITP) delivered via secure telehealth. It runs differentiated specialty programs for first responders, military, veterans, RCMP, IAFF members, Indigenous communities, and patients with eating disorders or OCD (the latter delivered in partnership with Sunnybrook Hospital). Clinical services span Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, EMDR, CPT, Prolonged Exposure, Motivational Interviewing, ACT, MBCT, and Interpersonal Therapy, supported by a Measurement-Based Care framework that publishes patient-reported outcomes (LDQ, PHQ-9, GAD).

EHN Canada monetizes through a hybrid model: program fees billed to private insurers (preferred-provider status with Sun Life, Canada Life, Manulife, Desjardins, Green Shield, RBC, and TELUS Health) and self-pay patients, supplemented by managed-services contracts with provincial governments (Saskatchewan Willowview complex-needs facility, Alberta Sandstone youth eating disorder beds, Northwest Territories Aftercare) and recurring B2B revenue from the Mental Health Connect employer subscription platform. The company employs 251–500 staff and serves individuals and families, employer EAP clients, healthcare provider referrals (CAMH, Trillium Health Partners, Lifemark, Familywood, Sunnybrook), and government health authorities. Its technology stack includes the Wagon patient-progress app, a self-serve Virtual Treatment Screener, alumni network infrastructure across five Canadian cities, and a 10-month Aftercare program supporting post-treatment retention.

The company was funded by Peloton Capital Management in April 2021 and has reported cumulative treatment of more than 20,000 Canadians with 40+ years of clinical experience across its network. It holds Accreditation Canada certification with commendation at all 10 facilities and has expanded its footprint most recently with the May 2026 opening of EHN Guardians Atlantic in Nova Scotia.

Revenue model

1. Inpatient Treatment Programs: EHN Canada operates 10 accredited inpatient facilities across Canada offering residential addiction and mental health treatment. Revenue is generated through program fees billed to private insurance providers (as a preferred provider for major Canadian insurers) and self-pay patients. Treatment lengths vary by need, with step-down transitions to virtual programming and Aftercare included in the care continuum.
2. Virtual Intensive Therapy Programs (VITP): Eight-week virtual intensive therapy programs for addiction, mental health, and trauma, delivered online. Programs include 9 hours per week of therapy and 10 months of Aftercare. Revenue is generated through program fees billed to insurers or self-pay.
3. Corporate/Employer Partnerships (EAP): EHN Canada partners with employers and organizations to provide employee addiction and mental health treatment services. Revenue is generated through corporate EAP agreements, per-employee subscriptions through Mental Health Connect, and bulk referral arrangements with insurers and benefit plan administrators.
4. Family Support Programs: Family education webinars, weekly Families Connect support groups, and codependency treatment programs offered to family members of patients. These may be included in overall program fees or offered as standalone services.
5. Provincial Government-Funded Programs: EHN Canada operates government-funded treatment beds, including fully funded programs for Saskatchewan residents (EHN Willowview), Alberta residents aged 12–24 (EHN Sandstone), and funded Aftercare for Northwest Territories residents.

Direct peers

• Homewood Health: Homewood Health is Canada's other leading national provider of mental health, addiction, and trauma treatment, operating inpatient facilities (Homewood Ravensview, Homewood Guelph) and an EAP/payer services business. Directly comparable to EHN Canada across residential treatment, virtual care, and employer/insurer preferred-provider channels.
• Trafalgar Addiction Treatment Centres: Trafalgar operates residential addiction treatment facilities in Ontario, offering medically supervised detox and residential programs. It is a direct Canadian peer in residential addiction care, competing for the same private-pay and insurer-referred patient population as EHN's Ontario facilities.
• Renascent: Renascent is a Canadian addiction treatment provider operating residential facilities in Ontario and Alberta, historically focused on 12-step/traditional recovery models. It is a direct Canadian competitor in the residential addiction treatment space, with overlapping private insurance and employer referral channels.
• Sunshine Coast Health Center: Sunshine Coast Health Center is a Canadian residential addiction and trauma treatment provider in British Columbia, offering evidence-based and 12-step programs. It is a direct Canadian peer competing with EHN Edgewood Nanaimo and EHN Edgewood Rockies for the BC private-pay addiction treatment market.

Broad incumbents

• Universal Health Services (Behavioral Health Division): Universal Health Services operates one of the largest US behavioral health hospital networks, with acute psychiatric and residential treatment facilities across 39 states. Comparable in operating a multi-facility behavioral health network, but materially larger and broader in scope than EHN Canada's focused Canadian footprint.
• Caron Treatment Centers: Caron is a large, established US non-profit addiction treatment provider operating multiple residential facilities in Pennsylvania and Florida, with comparable specialized programming (older adults, executives, healthcare professionals). Comparable in care model and specialized population focus, but a US-based not-for-profit rather than a Canadian for-profit.
• Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation: Hazelden Betty Ford is the largest US non-profit addiction treatment provider, operating residential facilities across multiple states and a renowned publishing/education arm. Comparable to EHN in clinical model, outcomes measurement, and specialized population programming, but a much larger US-based organization with broader geographic reach.
• Acadia Healthcare: Acadia Healthcare is a publicly-traded US behavioral health operator with ~250 facilities including residential treatment and psychiatric hospitals. It is a broader incumbent in the same behavioral health category, but operates at significantly larger scale and scope than EHN Canada's Canadian-residential focus.

Emerging players

• WELL Health Technologies: WELL Health is a Canadian digital health company with growing mental health and virtual care offerings (including OSCAR-based EMR and Crisis Text Line-affiliated virtual services). It is an emerging player in the Canadian virtual mental health space where EHN's VITP competes, though WELL is more broadly a primary care/telehealth platform than a treatment provider.

Others

• Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA): CMHA is a nationwide Canadian non-profit that delivers community-based mental health programming, advocacy, and referral services. While not a residential treatment operator, CMHA is a peer through its role as a national mental health referral and education channel, and as a key indirect partner for EHN's patient acquisition and referral ecosystem.
