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.
“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!!!”
“Amazing program. Very knowledgeable and insightful staff. Everyone is extremely helpful in the recovery process. Can be a challenge at times but is absolutely worthwhile for real recovery.”
“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 never knew that there was so many resources in one place. The staff and techs have taught me how to live a happy and full life. I came in completely apathetic. I never thought I would be smiling again. I now have a renewed gratitude towards life and I no longer have a deadline on my life. I am 34 days free of self harm and going strong. They have helped me develop healthy coping skills and taught me how to successfully live independently.”
“Having been to numerous treatment centers over the past decade, I’ve never experienced anything like what Providence was able to offer. Their individualized level of care is superior to any other program. They truly care about each and every person that walks through their door. Even when I was at my worst they welcomed me back with open arms, twice, and provided me with the care necessary to recover. Their admissions coordinators, support staff, and clinical team are exceptional. This place truly saved my life. I can’t thank them enough for the miracle they were able to provide me. If you or any loved one are suffering, don’t think twice about contacting SPRC.”
“By far the best treatment center I have ever been to. The clinical team is well educated, professional and works with cohesion to provide clients with the tools necessary for recovery. The facilities are very nice and the aftercare support is just as good as the inpatient support.”

“SPRC changed my life completely! The staff is incredibly caring and they really do want to help people not only get sober but actually recover. I’ve been to treatment centers before and they just wanted my money. This place isn’t like that and it’s worth every penny. As scared as I was to enter treatment again, I’m so glad I did and I would highly recommend this center for anyone struggling with addiction and/or mental health!”
“Scottsdale Providence has truly separated themselves from other treatment centers by their quality of care, ethics and the genuine unconditional love and support from each staff member. I came in tired,defeated,broken in so many ways ,facing life challenges and completely afraid to face recovery and life alone. The staff held my hand every step of the way and guided me into a direction to help rebuild my life sober. The staff goes to great lengths to support you in anyway they can and their expertise shines through the individual and group sessions. This facility has been life changing and I would recommend this place to anyone who needs help and wants to find their path to sobriety. Also, Nicole (case manager)helped me with all my personal issues that had been overwhelming me.Forever grateful!”

“If you are serious about wanting to make and be the change in your life, I highly recommend seeking help and guidance at Providence in Scottsdale, Arizona. Aside from the glorious living conditions, the men and women on staff show the upmost care and due respect to treat every individual with uniqueness and boldness. I appreciate and respect every individual who helped along this journey and will not forget those who spoke words of life into me when I was struggling. If you are lost and searching for the right treatment center or having difficulty making a decision, call and speak to the staff at Providence. They are not there to persuade or make the decision for you, instead they are there strictly to give those who are sick mentally, physically, and spiritually and provide them with the skills and environment to be able to open up and grow in these areas.

You all were and will always be a huge part of the reason each day gets me closer and closer to reaching my full potential as a recovering mental addict.
