Urgent In-Kind Need at Wayside Recovery!

At Wayside Recovery, we believe every woman deserves dignity, comfort, and care as she begins her recovery journey. Right now, our program sites are experiencing an urgent need for new and unused women’s undergarments for the women we serve.

These essential items—often overlooked—make a meaningful difference in helping women feel safe, supported, and respected during a very vulnerable time.

If you are interested in making an in-kind gift or would like to learn more about what items are most urgently needed, please contact our Development team at development@waysiderc.org
Thank you for helping us meet women where they are and surrounding them with care when they need it most.

February celebrates Black History Month, we are proud to honor the strength, resilience, and leadership of Black women—past, present, and future.

At Wayside Recovery, we recognize that Black women have long faced systemic barriers to accessing substance use and mental health care. That reality strengthens our commitment to providing culturally responsive, trauma-informed treatment rooted in dignity, equity, and respect.

Every day, we work alongside women, children and families to ensure recovery is not a privilege, but a possibility for all.

You don’t have to walk the path of recovery alone. At Wayside Recovery, our peer recovery specialists walk beside you—offering understanding, encouragement, and support from people who have been there and truly understand.

Recovery doesn’t end when treatment does. Staying connected to community is essential to long-term healing, and asking for support is a powerful act of strength. Whether through Wayside’s alumni groups, local AA or NA meetings, or trusted people in your life, you deserve to be supported, seen, and cared for every step of the way.

January is Substance Use Disorder , observed by SAMHSA, with this year’s theme: “Treatment Works! Find the Path that Works for You.”

At Wayside Recovery, we believe there is no one-size-fits-all approach to healing. Every woman, child, and family has unique needs—and treatment should reflect that. We offer multiple levels of care, including residential treatment for those needing a structured, immersive environment, as well as intensive outpatient services that provide meaningful support while allowing flexibility in daily life.

If you or someone you love is seeking support, our intake team is here to help. Call 651-242-5540 to learn whether Wayside may be the right path forward.

On National Maternal Health Awareness Day, we recognize that maternal health encompasses the whole person—physical, emotional, and behavioral well-being. For many women, access to comprehensive, compassionate care during pregnancy remains out of reach.

At Wayside Recovery, we support pregnant women who need substance use and mental health treatment, addressing a critical gap in maternal care. Through our Family Treatment Center, mothers can receive treatment while remaining with their children—supporting healing, stability, and connection during a pivotal time.

Every mother deserves dignity, support, and the opportunity to pursue recovery and a healthier future for herself and her family.

Today, we honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., whose unwavering commitment to justice, dignity, and compassion continues to guide us. Dr. King believed that everyone deserves the opportunity to heal, grow, and live with purpose.

At Wayside Recovery, this vision lives on in our work to break cycles of addiction, trauma, and inequity—supporting women and families on their path to recovery and stability. On this day of reflection and service, we recommit ourselves to building a more just and caring community where hope, healing, and opportunity are accessible to all.
