Testimonials
Healing Stories
“I’ve accomplished so much in my life since Wayside. I’ve regained custody of all of my kids. I regained my sobriety and have safe and stable housing. Wayside made me realize how bad I wanted recovery for myself and my children. I felt loved and safe.”
Angel
“Wayside was the first time I received the help I needed in all areas of my life―therapy, parenting, employment counseling, spirituality, art, and housing. Addiction and the abuse had fractured and impacted everything in my life.”
Laura G.
“I feel like I’ve broken a generational curse. I get to be a mom. I get to be a sober mom. There was a reason I was still alive. I had to get sober to figure out why. They supported me through my pregnancy and after my daughter was born, through my relapses and getting sober.”
