Testimonials
This week I was thrown a curve ball and my DWI from over three years ago was tossed back into my lap. I was told I needed to be assessed and checked into a treatment center, have an ignition interlock installed into my car, and I also needed to attend a 10 hour class. Well me being over three years sober now had a melt down, I couldn’t understand why I was being pulled backwards. I decided I needed to just deal with things head on and I looked up places in Mankato where I could have an assessment done. I found Stages of Change Center and booked myself an assessment. I was blessed to have met a woman named Angel who happens to be the owner of the center. She helped me more today than I could ever thank her for. She knew the right questions to ask and who to contact. Keep in mind I was l charged with my DWI out of state in Missouri. It was a bit of a challenge but she was absolutely an angel! If you know anyone who is seeking a drug or alcohol assessment, drug and alcohol classes, coaching, or need intervention programs I highly recommend giving her a call. She’s one of kind, she truly cares and wants to help.
Entered a 5 session counciling with Angel. She is very knowledgeable and professional and help me realize the issues at hand and how to deal with them. You don’t have to be addicted to alcohol or drugs she can help you before you are. I highly recommend Angel.
I just completed my 10 week course today! Being able to do it from home was a huge benefit as I watch my grandkids during the day and I live in Waseca! I was comfortable with Angel and love her down to earth attitude! I learned a lot about myself and change will take time! Like everything else you only get out of it what you put in! Highly recommend this way of doing Cog-skills thank you for the opportunity to better myself!
Going into the 10wk class I had my doubts about the benefits of this class. It completely surprised me! I learned way more than I thought I could and it was an extremely comfortable environment to share and grow in. Extremely convenient (especially being a SAHM) to attend the classes from home on my phone.
