About Wellcome Manor Family Services – Garden City
Welcome Manor Family Services is a residential women’s drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility in Garden City, Minnesota. They have two separate wings of the location for women with children and women without children. Mothers will have access to parenting education, family development and child care. Women without children are able to focus on themselves without any distractions.
There are two phases of treatment available, with the first phase lasting about 90 to 120 days long and the second phase lasting 30 to 90 days long. The timeframe for the length of treatment will depend on a client’s care plan and their treatment needs.
The organization strives to provide patients with a comfortable setting as they recover so clients get their own bedrooms. In individual therapy the main treatment approach utilized is dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT). This program helps clients by addressing any underlying trauma or emotional pain that fuels an addiction. This therapeutic approach also teaches clients skills that can help with long term recovery, such as emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.
In addition to individual therapy other services that will be provided are group therapy, medication management and mental health assessments. Some of the group sessions available are women’s issues groups, recovery support group education and multi faceted educational groups.
I like that this facility also offers alternative forms of treatment such as therapeutic recreation and expression through art. The daycare onsite is licensed to take care of children up to age eight. Families of a loved one are allowed to visit on the weekends. Visitors under age 18 need to be accompanied by a parent or guardian and visitors 18 years or older need to provide a government issued photo ID.
