One of the most important things you can do after leaving a drug and alcohol treatment program is to continue developing relationships with other recovering addicts and alcoholics. During treatment, many residents find that they develop close bonds with the women in their program, and often feel a deep sense of connection with the treatment center where they got clean and sober. Sometimes, after completing treatment, women may lose touch with their fellow sisters in recovery and gradually move away from recovery activities. Don’t let this happen!

You can stay connected with Wayside House’s alumni program. Participating in alumni programs and attending meetings is an excellent way to stay sober.

Wayside House offers those who have completed our residential, day/night, and intensive outpatient programs the opportunity to become a member of our alumni program.

Our alumni program gives women who have been through Wayside House residential, day/night, and outpatient treatment the opportunity to give back by being of service to current residents at the program. This may mean taking a resident on an outing, sharing your experience, strength, and hope at a meeting, or participating in monthly activities. This is a great way to help show those who are new to treatment that recovery works. And, it gives them hope for what is possible when you stay clean and sober and connected to your recovery.

Wayside House also holds monthly anniversary celebrations to commemorate sobriety anniversaries. For information on when and where these are held, click here or sign up for our mailing list.
