Our Care Team
Heather Defries
Admissions Coordinator
My favorite part of working with women and children at Wellcome Manor is watching them grow in their journey to recovery.
I haved worked for more than 15 years in the healthcare industry and have a passion for working in the recovery community. I’ve been extending compassion and guidance to women starting their treatment journey since 2018.
I’m a native to the Mankato area with a passion for helping others. I have a true love for spending time outdoors whether it’s watching softball, fishing, or being at the lake.
What We Treat
Wellcome Manor is much more than Substance Use Disorder Treatment. We use a comprehensive approach where each client is paired with a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor as well as a mental health therapist to address your unique mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual health needs.
Our Programs
In developing individualized personalized care plans for women, we use a variety of therapeutic approaches based on your needs and desires – including women’s issues groups, mindful meditation, health education, parent education, 12 step, cognitive behavioral therapy, relapse prevention and more.
Why Wellcome Manor
Since 2007, we have provided women and women with children a safe and supportive environment to recover from substance abuse and co-occurring disorders. Each individual in our care is treated with a personalized and holistic approach specifically for women.
