57 Years of Compassionate Recovery Care
Get to Know Wayside House
Since our founding as a grassroots organization in 1967, Wayside House of Hamilton has grown into an accredited, evidence-based treatment program that serves over 500 men from across Ontario every year. All the while we’ve remained passionately committed to our belief that addiction is a chronic condition best treated with barrier-free, personalized care. At Wayside House, we make change possible by providing hope, community and safety.
