Edgewood Health Network (EHN Canada) is a Canadian company headquartered in Toronto, Ontario which owns and operates privately funded inpatient addictions and mental health clinics across the country with outpatient locations in Canada and the United States. Edgewood Health Network was formed in 2014 with the merger of Bellwood Health Services (Toronto, Ontario) and Edgewood Treatment Centre (Nanaimo, British Columbia). Since the initial merger, Edgewood Health Network has grown through acquisitions and now operates facilities in British Columbia, Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia and Alberta. Edgewood Health Network also has agreements to service northern Canada and contracts to service patients in the Canadian Armed Forces, RCMP and various First Responders.

Bellwood
Originally founded in Toronto by Gordon Bell in 1982, Bellwood Health Services was the site of several landmarks in Canadian addiction treatment including the first residential sex addiction program. Bell also founded the Donwood Institute, a public addiction treatment centre in the Leaside neighbourhood of Toronto. In 2016, Donwood moved to join the Centre for Addictions and Mental Health and Bellwood moved to the original Donwood site.

Before the merger with Edgewood, Bellwood exclusively used a holistic, evidence-based treatment model rather than the traditional twelve-step program, relying on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy and for fringe disorders like sex addiction and eating disorders.

Bellwood also has agreements with the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health and the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board of Ontario to provide addictions and mental health services to injured workers.

Edgewood
Edgewood Treatment Centre was founded in Nanaimo, British Columbia in 1994 by Jane Ferguson with the support of trade unions and corporations in the forestry industry. Ferguson later died in 2003 when her plane crashed outside of Penticon. Edgewood's 2013 expansion added the Ferguson building in her honour, which houses patients from their Concurrent Trauma and Addiction Program for veterans and first responders suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and substance abuse.
