“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.”
“This Review is for Scottsdale Providence Recovery Center, In patient program. The female house is beautiful, spacious, safe, well managed and keeps you accountable. From chores to cooking - staying in the house aids you with important life & interpersonal skills. The scope of The Clinical Director and the staffs understanding of this field is profound. They handle life in the present and only looks’s ahead. Scottsdale Providence provides empathy, a sophisticated set of interpersonal skills, acts with a sense of urgency, constructive self-insights and encouragement. The staff helped me build a structured treatment plan to initiate helpful growth, strength and a realistic recovery. Although the action is up to you, the therapists equip you with a foundation full Of resources to build upon. They work on your inner strengths and challenge your weaknesses. They offer constructive feedback and are quick to tell you what you need to hear - not what you want to hear. The staff overall truly have your best interest at heart and want to see you succeed. They provided me with a sense of care and safety in being vulnerable. The staff is efficient in they’re approach and steadfast to being consistent & professional. Thus far, treatment here has been a remarkably empowering and fortifying experience. They’re recognition and approach have pulled me up from darkness into an optimistic state. Going to treatment here has given me hope, direction, and the opportunity to identify what I need to do to live a sober life. Recovery is possible (if you want to be sober) and being a client here has given me that chance. Scottsdale Providence has offered me a life-changing experience; that will put me back on the path to a positive, healthy, and sober life I so dearly have in front of me. In other words, I strongly recommend this treatment center if you’re ready to get sober, honest and are willing to do the work.”
“Scottsdale Providence is a great combination of terrific treatment curriculum, phenomenal therapists and an entire staff who genuinely care about clients’ best interest. 10/10 would recommend to anyone experiencing struggles with addiction and mental health. You can actually change your life for the better here.”
“This place is life changing. I researched so many places before choosing to come to SPRC and am so thankful I was able to get in here. The staff is amazing and have made such a difference in my life. They are all very passionate and effective at what they do. From my first call to my intake they showed me professionalism, kindness, compassion, understanding, empathy, thoroughness and follow through. I can't imagine going anywhere else for such sensitive treatment that requires gentle but firm hands. If your thinking of coming in for treatment come in for a tour to see exactly what I am talking about. They truly care and know what they are doing.”
“If you are serious about getting help with your mental health and/or sobriety this is THE PLACE!!! SPRC has changed my life and given me everything that I need in my mental health recovery, and I am so grateful that I will be continuing my care with them for years to come. I was skeptical about seeking treatment for myself after seeing family members shuffled around and medicated to collect a copay and to bill insurance. SPRC treats you like an individual and will go above and beyond to get you the help that you need! They do everything with love and sometimes it’s tough love, but true healing and serious treatment needs that! The community that has been built is unlike any other as well! Come to get healthy, and stay for the love and support!!!”
“This has been one of the most incredible experiences of my entire life. I never believed in myself or my ability to recover before coming here. I was truly challenged and enjoyed myself at the same time. The people I got to know and work with were a true pleasure. I am very grateful to all the staff for making the experience enjoyable and memorable. I don't think I would have ever gotten the same level of care anywhere else. I would highly recommend SPRC to anyone looking to work on themselves. If you need some time to work on yourself and are looking for the best possible help you could ever get, give this place a shot.”
