OUR BELIEFS

  • We believe that recovery from substance dependency is possible and achievable. 
  • We believe that every individual has a right to recovery.
  • We believe in developing and fostering a client-centric environment to empower individuals to take responsibility and accountability for their own recovery, needs, strengths and weaknesses, and goals.
  • We believe that confidentiality and trust are paramount in maintaining an environment where individuals can recover.
  • We believe that the care-path for every client should include the components of the social determinants of mental health and addiction: specifically, freedom from discrimination & violence, social inclusion, and access to economic resources

OUR VALUES

  • Integrity and accountability at every level of the organization and its’ interactions.
  • An ethical framework based on evidence-informed best practices.
  • Respect for diversity, embracing differences and ensuring a discrimination free environment.

OUR PHILOSOPHY​

In support of Wayside House of Hamilton’s vision, mission, and values, we will consistently provide high quality services to enable men to recover and maintain abstinence from substance dependency. We are committed to continuous, long-term improvement so that we may consistently meet the needs of the individuals we serve. Our primary measure of service success is a positive outcome as indicated and determined by the clients we serve, whose best interest remains at the center of all decisions made.
 
We believe that alcohol and drug addiction is not a character flaw or a moral failing but rather a chronic health condition which deserves to be treated with care, backed by evidence-informed treatment in a safe environment that fosters consistent, positive outcomes.
 
It is the philosophy of Wayside House of Hamilton that we will:
​​
  • Embrace a culture of continuous improvement, critical thought, and innovation.
  • Empower the client to take ownership and responsibility for their program.
  • Employ best practices in our service delivery and ensure treatment of the highest quality.
