I cannot thank Changes enough for all the support, help and encouragement they have given my son. From primary to secondary to the halfway house, he has been treated with respect and care throughout.
★★★★★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!
★★★★★Grateful and thankful. I cannot express enough how much Changes has helped me and my family. Their support and care have been invaluable throughout this journey. We are forever grateful for their assistance.
★★★★★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.
★★★★★Omw!!! I have absolutely no idea how to express my gratitude! My son initially went to another rehab. They couldn't contain him there and he was sent to a state hospital, where he was restrained.
★★★★★If Amy W wanted to go to Rehab then it would have been Changes! I had no idea what rehabilitation and treatment was but when I arrived, I didn't realise how broken and in need of repair I was.
★★★★★Thank you for all the help on my recovery. It really makes a huge difference in my life. Changes has provided me with everything I need to navigate my new, sober life and actually live again.
★★★★★I have the utmost respect and gratitude for Changes and the entire team, from Sheryl all the way to Howard the cook and David the guard. It works if you work it. Thank you Changes team.
★★★★★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.
★★★★★I had a close friend who was having a hard time and we sent him to Changes. Admission staff was polite, friendly and professional. The counsellors were very well trained and professional.
★★★★★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.
★★★★★I am now 2 years, 10 months and 19 days clean and sober, thanks to Changes rehab. Some of the main points I was suggested to do were to play the movie through and live life for today.
