At Wayside House, we love to stay connected with our program graduates, which is why we offer those who have completed our residential and intensive outpatient programs the opportunity to become a member of our women’s alumni program.

Being a part of a women’s drug and alcohol alumni program allows women who have left treatment to remain in touch with other Wayside House graduates via monthly meetings, outings and other activities.

Another reason our women’s alumni program is so special is that it gives women who have been through Wayside House residential 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.

In addition, members of our drug rehab alumni hold quarterly car washes to raise money to take residents to movies and other fun activities, purchase holiday gifts and help celebrate sobriety birthdays.
