I was at Wayside Halfway House in 1989 when it was on Pillsbury Ave in South Minneapolis. They took good care of me and got me back on my feet when I was down and out. They helped me get a place to live and I eventually was reunited with my children and lived happily ever after. I’ve been clean ever since and even quit smoking!

I spent a full 90 days at this facility a few years back. Yes, It's an older building but as someone who has SEVERE allergies to everything (look up a condition called MCAS), I never had any issues with mold, bugs or anything while there. and I am really allergic to mold spores. I feel like these negative reviews are just childish. My family and friends were welcomed for visits. YES they do have to leave their phones outside of the facility but for obvious reasons, these rules are in place for a reason. I will say they made an exception for me within my first 30 days ( it's an expectation that you will not leave the facility without staff in your first 30 days) so I could attend my grandmother's funeral. I was part of the Client committee. I organized workouts and that was encouraged, I ran AA meetings on the weekends and fostered lasting relationships with a lot of the other women there that I still remain friends with today. Wayside is YES, an older building but it's not THAT old. Plus, if anything goes wrong they get it taken care of as soon as someone can come and fix it. If anyone has had a bad time at Wayside, it's either you were forced to go to treatment for legal reasons so you have a chip on your shoulder or you\re a prima-donna. There are motels I have stayed at that are 100 times worse than an older building that has normal wear and tear. Which requires maintenance. And they do report and schedule a fix as soon as it's possible for someone to get to the facility. Stop whining Signed, A Gen X'er

Other Forms of Payment

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements. Linden Oaks' Residential Stay Program offers additional support for those who may benefit from a structured living environment. A patient's stay may vary from a few days to 30 days ago. The program includes group, family and individual counseling.

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Programs

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

People benefit from group therapy sessions that offer them the chance to learn and practice conflict resolution skills with their peers. This helps you recognize your strengths and capabilities, which boosts your self confidence as you work toward overcoming addiction and building a healthier lifestyle.

Qualified therapists in Minnesota offer individual therapy to men and women so they can receive customized care tailored to their needs. Your therapist works to understand your unique circumstances and provide you with targeted interventions and coping skills essential for long term recovery.

Families in Minnesota use family therapy to understand the roles they play in addiction. Each member plays a role and contributes to a pattern of behavior. Families learn to interact in healthier ways that support each other and contribute to their loved one's journey to recovery.

If you’re able to go 2+ days without medication while you are withdrawing this place will work well for you. Staff doesn’t seem to care and lack communication between each other. If you ask for help or need medication they will act like you are such a bother and roll their eyes at you. They lied to me and said they could help me get on MAT.

Response from the owner
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We are truly sorry to hear that you felt unsupported during such a vulnerable and difficult time. We understand how important timely access to medication, clear communication, and compassionate care are, especially when navigating withdrawal and seeking support for recovery. No one should feel like a burden when asking for help, and we sincerely apologize that your experience left you feeling this way.

We take your concerns seriously, including your experience with medication access, communication among staff, and information regarding Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT). Your feedback is important and helps us identify areas where we need to improve to ensure the care and support we provide meet the needs of those we serve.

At Wayside Recovery, we are committed to providing compassionate, respectful, and trauma-informed care, and we are sorry we did not meet that expectation in your experience. Thank you for bringing these concerns to our attention and helping us recognize where meaningful improvements are needed. We wish you the very best in your recovery journey.

I entered Wayside on September 5, 2026, on a scholarship. I am a 66-year-old white woman with 4 daughters and 18 grand and great-grands, the majority of which are Black, Hispanic &/or Native. PROS: -Excellent programming and staff that taught very well -comfortable lodging -Clean environment - CONS: -a director, Nikki, that is intimidating, dismissive, judgemental, unfair, and behaves in a superior & aggresively arrogant manner that is counter-productive and opposite to the expectations put on the clients -bland food and menus that do not display items correctly (i.e. the 'juice' is actually Kool-Aid) -inconsistent rule upholding among BHT staff My experience: -In a Primary group (small group under a counselor), we had an ice-breaking question, "If you could own an exotic animal, what would it be?" At least 50% of the women answered 'monkey', including the black woman next to me. I was accused by an unnamed person of saying, "Do you call all your kids monkeys?" I NEVER said anything like that, yet it was held against me, reported, and I was lectured about sensitivity, appropriateness, and told that this was my 'first and only' warning and that I could be discharged. The woman I supposedly said it to, as well as several others I talked to, affirmed with me that those were never said by me. -During a weekly Community meeting (staff lined up in front, clients facing them on couches), the director, Nikki, introduced a new food policy about receiving outside non-perishable items. It was greeted with enthusiasm. There were many 'side-chatters' amongst the women. One woman asked about coffee. I turned to her to ask if that meant instant coffee. Nikki stood up, snapping and pointing her finger in my direction, and yelled, " Get out! Leave this room, now!" several times. I pointed at myself and asked her if she meant me. The answer was 'yes,' with several more loud commands to "Leave, now!" Stunned, I stood and left to the hall sitting area. I felt targeted, humiliated, angry, and hurt, yet said nothing. The side-chattering about the policy continued with many residents with no reprimands. -Two days later, I submitted a grievance against Nikki with the aforementioned event and, as a 'Resolution Desired ', remarked "Acknowledgement & apology". The following mid-week a contemporary to Nikki, Andrew, met with me to review the grievance and set a date for a mediation meeting for the three of us. I will attempt to post a further review with the remainder of my experience... ..

I had 5 different counselors while I was here. There aren't any clients or staff that sick around. Nobody graduates the program they either leave or are kicked out. The food is nasty and you can't have your own. I only stayed to get it over with. Outpatient has like 4 clients which makes the groups really boring. There was a fun staff but she not there anymore so it's even more boring. Go somewhere else.
