Heart River Alcohol and Drug Abuse Services thanks everyone for their patience through these trying times. We are now serving clients through both telemed and in-person appointments, and have opened up our alcohol and drug classes and groups. We encourage individuals to utilize telemedicine appointments as COVID19 numbers continue to rise, especially those who have any symptoms of being ill or have been exposed. We will be following the state guidelines to ensure the safety of all our clients, including social distancing. We request that only clients, and other necessary individuals, enter our offices. Please do not bring children or vulnerable individuals to appointments. Feel free to contact us prior to coming in at 701-483-0795 for more information.

WHO WE ARE
John Wieglenda, LCAC
I'm a third-generation North Dakota resident. I reside on the ranch that my
grandfather homesteaded in the 1880s.
I began my pursuit of a career in addiction counseling in 1986. I attended Dickinson State
College and University of Mary and graduated cum laude in 1990. I completed a practicum at the North Dakota State
Hospital and Badlands Human Service Center, so as to not be away from the ranch
which I was still operating.
I met my future wife, Marsha, while working at the state hospital. When I returned to
Dickinson in 1991 she was recruited by St. Joseph's Hospital to work in their addiction
program. Little did we know that three months later they would close this program
suddenly leaving us in a real lurch. At that time we were encouraged to set up a private practice, which we did. I then
completed a year internship at Badlands Human Service Center before joining
Marsha in our fledgling practice. The city courts encouraged us to set up a minor in
possession program and we were some of the first individuals trained in the than new
Prime for Life DUI program.
Heidi Reiker, LAC
I began my career with Heart River Alcohol & Drug as their Office Manager in 2013. Prior to this I had been attending DSU in pursuit of an English Education degree - which I discovered was not my true passion. In 2016 I got certified to teach both the DUI and MIP classes, and this is where the drive to become an addiction counselor began. I completed my Bachelor's degree online with the University of South Dakota and became licensed as a LAC with the State of North Dakota in 2020. My internships were completed with both DWCRC and Heart River in 2019 and 2020.
