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’ve been waiting for SPRC all my life. Skilled, compassionate professionals driven to help those with mental health issues, addiction, trauma and other struggles. Dan and his team present and bring to life key concepts and support in a way that resonates with all types: young/old, blue-collar/professional, male/female, etc. Even the greatest skeptics who have tried many different recovery facilities will find a unique experience here where the tools and concepts land in a way they become assets for life. Couldn’t recommend this team enough.”
“This place is for the people who take recovery seriously and strive to be a better person. If you are struggling with addiction or mental health this place is for you. Please consider going to this if you need treatment they have 24/7 support, some really smart doctors and psychiatrists, and some large houses if your trying to get more out of treatment. My time was very long but extremely helpful here.”
“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.”
“Northsight Recovery met with Tesleah and we were astonished to hear about the amazing work they are providing our community. Their staff specializes in trauma and services both men and women. We were so grateful and look forward to working with such a professional team.”
“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!”
“Was in treatment for a long time and at multiple facilities and providence was definitely the most helpful for my recovery. Very grateful”

“I would say I owe this place my life, but they would tell me I owe it to myself. I truly believe had I gone to any other recovery center I had available to go to, I wouldn’t have learned and experienced growth in recovery. I didn’t even know what recovery meant. All I knew was how Miriam Webster defines sobriety. I’ve learned not just to avoid alcohol, but seek and process the underlying conditions that made me prone to use alcohol. I’ve got joy in my life again. I have support systems backing me up. I have a toolbox full of healthy coping skills I get to carry around every day and aid me in my journey in recovery. I learned how to love myself again. I’ve been gifted a solid foundation on which to build my newfound life on top of. The modalities they use, the care and compassion of the entire staff, the careful management of progression through their care has given me a new life. Most recovery centers are a cookie cutter program, you get whatever the program is designed as. Scottsdale Providence caters your treatment to your specific needs. I have a bright future ahead of me and I know that I always have my family back at the center supporting me. I couldn’t thank them enough for what they’ve helped me accomplish.”
“Fantastic staff and incredible program. This is a wonderful place to regroup, learn and recapture a new life.”
“Scottsdale Providence center has been a great experience to me. It's helped me shape my life to become an outstanding person and understand me as a person, the staff here has been amazing and truly helpful to my recovery for addition and mental health. In the beginning I was very hesitant to stay but I stuck it out and I will say it was worth it bc I learn skills everyday to help begin to build my future. They helped me with financial problems and legal problems, they truly listen to me and I feel heard. Housing with the women's house has truly been a great experience for me to be able to adult and learn how to live with other people who have the same or similar struggles as I do.”
“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.”
“I cannot say enough about this organization and the people who support it. I was in the PHP program and through thick and thin I was cared about and supported through each phase of my growth and development in recovery. I feel stronger and more hopeful today than ever before and looking forward to what the next chapter has to bring because of the work I did while here. Thanks SPRC!”
“Alex, Lauren and all the professional staff at SPRC were incredibly awesome and truly take the time to get to know individuals - so many clients and staff to thank- World Class and They Care- They provide hope and show that even in the most challenging times there is a place that truly cares. Thank you All- The list of incredible people is unparalleled. Outstanding!!!!!”
“Scottsdale Providence is an excellent recovery center, through and through. They put the time and effort in to making everyone feel safe and welcomed. They set the standard to what treatment facilities should be. I'm extremely grateful for them.”
“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!!!”
