My first interaction with Changes gave me peace of mind. I knew that they would help. Thank you for looking after my son so well. You made a world of difference, not only in his life but also mine.
★★★★★Dropped our loved one in the safe hands of Changes Northcliff 2 years ago. We are forever grateful for the transformation we have experienced. The facility is receptive and staff are professional and compassionate.
★★★★★My life was spiralling out of control. The moment I contacted Changes, they offered immediate support. After just one month, I found hope and direction I hadn't felt in years. Forever grateful to the team.
★★★★★Tonight I attended a very informative support group hosted by Sheryl. Thank you so much for all the support Changes offers to family members. Keep up the amazing, life-changing work. We absolutely salute you!
★★★★★I just wanted to say thank you to the Changes Family for everything that you did so far to assist with my son. In the beginning, I felt like a terrible mom, but you guys have been truely incredible.
★★★★★Thank you to everyone at Changes who helped my daughter through this difficult time. They not only helped her but kept in constant contact with me, updating me on her progress and checking up on how I was doing.
★★★★★The day I first came to Changes, I was shown around and knew then that our daughter needed to in the best care possible. Changes team members understood her needs even before meeting her. Thank you for everything.
★★★★★I was sceptical about rehab, but Changes proved me wrong. Their holistic treatment approach addressed not just my addiction, but also the underlying issues. I’m now living a healthy, fulfilling life.
★★★★★When we found out that our daughter had an addiction problem, we were devastated and just wanted to get her the best possible help. After some research, we came across Changes. We couldn't have asked for better.
★★★★★Changes provided me with the structure and support I desperately needed. The staff’s professionalism and genuine care made all the difference. I’ve rediscovered myself and am embracing a new, sober life.
★★★★★Safe, confidential and thorough treatment helped me through a very difficult period in my life. Changes provided me with tools and skills to manage my illness and introduced me to a supportive network of people.
★★★★★I began my treatment at Changes almost 5 years ago. I was a very broken, lost soul and experienced the amazing program and support of my therapist and peers. It was a life-changing time for me.
