What Our Clients Say
Stories of Hope & Recovery
Browse firsthand reviews of Scottsdale Providence Recovery Center, shared in the words of the people who wrote them. The comments below offer a closer look at the care team, treatment setting, communication, and support available here.
“I can’t say enough about Scottsdale Providence Recovery Center and their staff. From my first phone call to inquire the compassion, care, and concern for our situation was amazing. The whole staff, but specifically Alex, Kyle, Stephanie and Dan, (who I have never met), stepped in to assist us over and above what we could have expected in a very difficult time and a very difficult situation. This was not our first experience with a behavioral health facility, but certainly the best experience and hopefully the last. We utilized both their outpatient and housing services and I could not have been more impressed. The staff work diligently with their clients and truly will do anything to ensure their success. If anyone has any questions about a mental health or substance abuse facility that works and has a staff that goes above and beyond not just for the patient, but their family as well, this is the place to go. They have given me a gift back in the work they do that is invaluable. Highly recommend!!!”
“This place is great! I was really hopeless coming in and didn't think my chances of recovery were very high. The staff here, the therapists and the BHTs are the absolute greatest. Working with them has brought some hope back to my life and I now feel I'm not some hopeless drug addict. I can stay sober and this place helped me realize that. They treated my mental health too!!!! It feels nice having mental clarity.”
“SPRC is an awesome recovery center. The staff actually cares, The amount of services they provide is extensive. They have therapy I’ve never even heard of. There in patient program is extremely comfortable and places responsibility on keeping the house clean and not over doing it. They provide workout equipment for those of us who are active bodies. The techs know their stuff and even the clients are good people. It’s a judgment free area but they have accountability. They give you the appropriate tools for recovery for substance abuse and mental health. I highly recommend this center for anyone who is honestly looking for help.”
“Scottsdale Providence changed my whole life. I walked in completely broken, drinking and using to survive, carrying years of trauma and pain I didn’t even know how to set down. I didn’t know what I needed. I just knew I couldn’t keep living the way I was bc it was killing me. From the second I got there, the staff saw me in a way nobody ever has. They understood me. They didn’t judge me. Everything they do has intention. Nothing is random. There is rhyme and reason behind every group, every boundary, every tough conversation, and every moment they push you to sit with yourself instead of running. And honestly, the people you meet here… they’re a huge part of the healing. The patients are amazing bc the staff creates a space where everyone feels safe and connected. You end up being transparent in ways you never have before. You hear everyone’s truth. You share yours. You feel seen and less alone. That kind of honesty changes you. Most of the staff are addicts in recovery too, with years and years of sobriety. That makes such a difference. They don’t talk at you. They talk with you. They get the addict mind. They understand the shame, the fear, the spiraling, the survival mode. They know what it feels like to want to quit and still feel pulled back in. You just feel understood on a soul level. They didn’t just help me stop drinking and using. They helped me understand why I did it. They got to the root emotionally, physically, and spiritually. They taught me tools I actually use every single day. They challenged me when I wanted to shut down. They held space for me when I couldn’t catch my breath. Not once did I feel judged. I felt guided. I felt held. I felt like my life actually mattered. Scottsdale Providence didn’t just help me get sober. They gave me my life back. They gave my kids their mom back. They helped me find myself again. If you’re scared or feel like there’s no way out, I’m telling you from my own heart, this place is real. This is where healing actually happens. I’m forever grateful.”
“SPRC has been an integral part of my recovery! They are kind, knowledgable, thorough, and so supportive. I have made lifelong friends and changed immensely for the better. I have learned tools that I know will help me throughout my life and know that I will always have the love and support from this establishment. If you are on the fence about taking the leap of faith and doing something to better yourself by coming…do it. It’s saved my life in many ways and I will be forever grateful.”
“I would highly recommend this program to anyone who truly wants to see real change and have real support. I have nothing but positive things to say about SPRC. As a therapist myself, I can confidently say this is the best treatment center I have ever encountered or experienced. If you’re ready to do the work and have a team of support, come to SPRC.”
“Scottsdale Providence is a wonderful program. Their commitment and care to my son was great. Caitlin, Lauren and all the staff were amazing. They had compassion, knowledge and understanding not only to my son but to our family as well. So grateful for this program and staff they truly care.”

“My time at SPRC has been really great. I have been in treatment centers before, and I can honestly say that along with my own willingness the staff here has helped me to get farther along in my recovery journey than I ever have before. The people here are truly saving lives and teaching recovery in such a way that it is achievable.”
“I've spent the last 50 some odd days in housing (PHP) at Providence and it's been a life changing experience. The opportunity to live around other sober girls and focus on recovery has been beneficial in ways I never thought were possible. I can't express my gratitude enough for this facility and all they've taught me. If you're looking for a recovery program, I highly suggest coming here. Ps. They offer IOP as well so if you'd rather not live in housing, you have more than one option.”
“My case manager Lauren Y & Tyler helped me continuously with my paid leave until we got it figured out. They both had to jump through so many hoops and helped me with so many different things including helping me through mental breakdowns. I would strongly recommend because I’ve never felt better and wouldn’t change a thing about my experience. Also, the therapist and other staff are fantastic!!!!”
“SPRC was an amazing experience. I have been in treatment before but it was nothing compared to my experience here. The staff treated us with respect while also not cutting corners in treatment. I cannot recommend SPRC highly enough!!!”
“This is my second home. This place was here for me in my time of need and accepted me back with open arms.

“This center has been life changing for me! I’ve never gotten such personalized help as I did at SPRC. Not only attending daily group therapy, but having one on one sessions with multiple different therapist/psychiatrist has open my eyes to a world of help I didn’t know was available for me. The knowledge I’m leaving this center with about myself is priceless and I cannot thank the staff and my peers enough. I truly don’t know if I’d be here today without this amazing center and their resources! 100/10 would recommend to anyone who feels like their situation is beyond helping!”
“SPRC helped guide me into knowing how to live a healthier life mentally. The community is supportive and loving and the staff go above and beyond for their clients. Scottsdale Providence is an excellent choice to get help.”
“I can’t say enough good things about SPRC. After years of putting off finding the right treatment for mental health, I struck a gold mine with this one. Each staff member is excellent in their own way, and everybody truly cares about each other. Would highly recommend to anybody needing to change their lives for the better!”
