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.
“Staff was very helpful and skilled in their fields, would recommend to anyone in need of sobriety.”
“I was so afraid to go into treatment. When I came to Scottsdale Providence I was surprised to pull up to a mansion which would be my new home for a month. From my experience now in residence and PHP at the center I can say I have made significant progress and that's due to the facilities, the therapists (that actually care and had their own experience with substance abuse), the BHT's and the housemates. This is the best place to work on your recovery. I was adamant on only doing the 30 days and I ended stepping down to PHP and staying an additional two months. I can't say enough how grateful I am to have chosen Scottsdale Providence. If you or anyone else wants to get sober and or work on fheir mental health please contact SPRC this is the BEST place to do it.”
“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.”
“This is my second home. This place was here for me in my time of need and accepted me back with open arms. I cant explain the how much I value my friends i expect to have for life here and also the staff who are like apart of my family. If you are looking for people who know how to treat people you should put this at the top of your list for sure. Much love <3.”
“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.”
“Five Star Review. Scottsdale Providence Recovery Center is an all encompassing treatment center that caters to the needs of each and every individual. The therapists here express true concern for their patients and have the experience necessary to understand and relate to our needs. The knowledge and wisdom imparted on me by the staff in tools of recovery has equipped me with a spiritually fit armor. Today, I am filled with Hope, Faith and Courage to succeed in all aspects of my life. I have made significant progress spiritually, mentally and physically. SPRC saved my life and I am forever indebted for this fulfilling experience. Thank You to all the staff and patients alike!!”
“I loved this center and everything it has to offer. The staff is amazing, and have brought the care and the support that i was searching for, and i know they’d do the same for people who are looking for that right now. It’s a place that is serious to committing themselvesto helping people, and im not just saying that. 10/10!”
“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’ve been to a mental health hospital every month for the last several. This place was a really great different environment. Very fancy. It helped me learn a lot of skills. And swearing is perfectly normal at the facility.”
“This was the best recovery center that I have been to for personalized care. All of the staff are familiar with the patients and the center feels like a community. All of the staff were invested in my recovery and having all of the tools when I left.”
“This place has changed the trajectory of my life and I would recommend it to anyone struggling with substance abuse or mental health. The staff and clinical team genuinely care about each client. Their approach to treatment is unique and unlike any other program, but it is highly effective. Many Clients that are alumni of this program come back to visit and are proof that this program not only works but transforms lives. I am so grateful for everyone I’ve met here, it’s an amazing community & I will forever cherish this place.”
“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.”
“Scottsdale Providence has had a huge impact on my recovery process. After experiencing treatment at two other facilities over the last few years I can truly appreciate SPRC for what they have to offer and just how well they do it. The treatment offered is excellent for both substance-abuse and mental health struggles. The staff (starting with the hands on business owners who are top notch therapists) are extremely professional and knowledgeable, and it is clear that they truly care for all the clients. I believe their goal is the long term recovery of the patients, and is not driven by the almighty dollar or the bottom line like every other treatment facility I have experienced . The clients are treated with true compassion and dignity. Scottsdale Providence has taught me a design for living that goes far beyond just staying sober. My life today has improved exponentially since my experience there, and I do not hesitate to recommend this place to anyone seeking a solution to their battle with substance abuse or mental health.”
“Hi my name is Zachary Jacob charney schatz I attended Scottsdale providence recovery center and was able to immerse myself with an amazing sober community the staff are supportive and the program is great I've been to many sober living/residential programs and this one definitely feels the most at home to me for the most part everyone is around the age of 18-28 but there are some older people and there just as playful and loving and supportive as everyone else id like to give a special shout-out to my old therapist Emily and. My current therapist and program director Dan he really has a way with words I love this place and definitely would suggest it to others”
“I came to attend the Scottsdale Providence. Without question they saved my life.

If you are truly seeking a real solution to alcohol and/ or drug addiction do yourself a favor and come here. It works! Bill Y”
