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 had a wonderful experience at sprc, they definitely changed my life and have assisted so much in my road to recovery. This is such an honest and hard working rehab facility, the staff care so deeply about their clients and help build a strong fellowship of healthy individual to keep you connected after treatment. I've made so many beautiful connects here and it holds a very special place in my heart. 100% recommend.”
“The house and facilities are awesome and the staff really does care about every client. I have been to a lot of other treatment centers and scottsdale providence has been the best by far! This place saved my life and I would highly recommend coming here if your struggling with addiction or mental health issues.”
“Excellent experience. The staff was extremely knowledgeable & challenged my way of thinking in a productive way. Very grateful to have made the decision to choose Providence. The therapists don't co-sign any crap that I would try to tell myself about my addiction. This type of working culture is amazing to be in a client in. At first it's scary but if you stick with it you'll see why it's effective. Lastly, don't go to Providence if you aren't willing to work. If you plan on just taking up space then this isn't the treatment center for you.”
“SPRC is amazing. The staff is supportive and truly invested in your recovery and the fact the test mental health is huge, many places don't do that. Would recommend this place 100%”
“SPRC staff truly cares about their clients and it shows. They devote countless hours each day to giving us the care and help we need. They create a safe environment for all, making sure each person knows they’re welcomed there; SPRC is a family. And the miracle is real.”
“I Love how all the staff’s help you the best they can with your recovery. The staffs are Amazing here. They also try and teach you as much as they can you just have to be willing to do the work. Scottsdale Providence really does work if you are willing to work it.”
“Scottsdale Providence has provided me with a safe and supportive space to work on my mental health. The staff is friendly and accommodating. The groups and material are focused, informative, and for me, very enlightening. I feel confident in transitioning out knowing that I now have the skills and resources to live a healthy and balanced life. I also leave knowing that I will always have a support system in the staff and fellow alumni from SPRC.”
“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.”

““Are you living or simply persisting?” was something I was asked when I called, wondering if I needed help. I can confidently say that SPRC teaches you how to create for yourself a life worth living: to build for yourself a bucket of skills that allow you to feel like you can keep going. The therapists are like your sherpas: they will show you the way up the mountain while it is up to you to make the journey yourself. Every single person in that building cares about you. From Kassie at the front desk when you walk in, to Freddy for your intake, to Ciara, Sabrina, Denise, Jackie, Sara, Tyler, Jillian, Alex, Kena, Mark, Sadie— and all the other therapists, behavioral health technicians, and staff. Every single person there will take time out of their day to talk to you, to answer a thousand questions and a thousand more. They will know you by name, and greet you with familarity. Past the staff? This is also true of the community of both other clients sitting alongside you and alumni. You are heard, and past that, you are understood. Nothing you say will go without someone else relating to it, empathizing, and being there for you. If you are looking for a community of people who remember you, and you them— this is the place. Residential, PHP Housing, PHP outpatient, IOP, or OP level—everyone matters. You are heard. You are understood. You are getting your life back: it is an honor and a privilege to be able to say that I did it here. To call myself an alumni of this community. If I had to go back and make the choice again, I would choose SPRC every single time.”
“This place has honestly changed my life and I don't think that I could have gotten out of the dark and miserable spot that I was in without the help of this amazing program. The staff truly care about you and they help put you on a successful path for the future.”
“I can’t recommend SPRC enough. As a person who was struggling from severe PTSD from my career in public safety I wasn’t sure where to turn or what skills I needed to better manage my symptoms. From the very first day I was welcomed into a loving safe environment by professional well trained staff and therapists who made my needs their top priority. SPRC gave me the tools to live my life with dignity and confidence. Definitely give them a call.”
“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 can’t thank this place enough! This was my first time in treatment and I was very unsure what I wanted to do. I decided to try one night, I ended up staying 90! I owe this place my life! The men’s house is a beautiful home away from home in North Scottsdale! All the staff was very helpful and truly care about you! Thank you SPRC!”
“If you are looking to make a change in your life for the better, there is no better place to come and get the help you need. All of the staff is educated, kind, and compassionate, and they truly care about their patients. The program is as solid as it gets and they set you up for success.”
