“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.”
“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.”
“Very grateful for my experience at SPRC and elated that I chose this treatment center. This process was wonderful my physical, mental, and spiritual health. Dan is a great clinical director and Jackie was a wonderful primary therapist.”
“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.”
“5 years ago I stepped into SPRC and if I’m honest I had no confidence in myself and didn’t think I would make it. I did A LOT of self sabotage while there. I had already been kicked out of two other rehabs in the past and Dan could have very easily kicked me out for multiple stunts I pulled there… but he didn’t. They didn’t give up on me and I kept pushing forward. On Friday I just celebrated 5 years sober and free. Thank you SPRC for getting me through the hardest part of my life and giving me the tools I needed to get better. My life today is amazing and it’s a gift I will never take for granted. ♥️”
“My time at SPRC was incredible! It helped me understand who I am and brought me back to life. The staff is absolutely phenomenal. They provide a great sense of community and wherever you turn there is always someone that can help you with your needs. From group sessions to individual ones, you are always heard. It is a safe environment where all can connect on the same level. I would recommended SPRC to anyone I know who is struggling in their daily lives!”

“I’m incredibly grateful for the care I received here and would recommend to anyone ready to start their recovery journey. It was life changing for me.”
“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.”
“This facility was amazing in every part of recovery, the staff and therapist were phenomenal. I would highly recommend Scottsdale Providence. They treat every individual unique. They truly care about your outcome and success in recovery.”
“The mental health program at SPRC is wonderful and I highly recommend it to anyone who is struggling to live a fulfilling life. Their program helped me to challenge some of the ways I had been thinking and reset aspects of my life that had been making simple tasks difficult. I came in to SPRC thinking that I was incapable of living a life without constant depression and anxiety. I had gotten to the point where I couldn't go to work or even get out of bed. The staff at SPRC were completely understanding and I felt no judgement from them. This program made me realize that I am far from alone in my problems and I can succeed in living a fulfilling life. Even after graduating from SPRC's program, I still feel like I have their support through mental health peer groups as well as through the connections that I made with other clients at the recovery center. If you are struggling, give this place a try. For me, it was one of the best decisions I ever made.”
“Scottsdale Providence Recovery Center has changed my life. Their Dual Diagnosis Program reaches all facets of Addiction and Mental Health Support. From one on one therapy with staff ranging in diverse backgrounds and education, to gaining a community of recovery beyond the treatment center - I am so grateful my family googled SPRC and sent me here. Words really can’t convey the changes I’ve seen in my mental spiritual and emotional health. Not only do I feel well, I am gaining stability in managing Complex PTSD, Bipolar 1, and recovering from heavy substance abuse. I now have the tools necessary to stay sober and the belief that my life is worth living.”
“Scottsdale Providence Recovery Center was excellent! Every member of the staff was kind, supportive, and showed that they truly cared about my recovery. They fostered an amazing culture. The facilities were beautiful and peaceful. The programming was very informative, helpful and relevant. I was very pleased with the therapists both in groups and the individual therapy sessions. I have been to other treatment centers and SPRC is by far the best.”
“I had the pleasure to do residential and PHP at SPRC. I have been to several other rehabs and I can honestly SPRC was the best one. I have learned so much about myself, worked on my trauma by doing EMDR and the therapist here are outstanding. The owner, Dan, runs 3 of the groups during the week which amazes me. I have never been to a recovery center where the owner is so involved with the clients, he also is a therapist for some of the clients. All other groups are runned by therapists, which has its benifits. All the staff are carring and will help you with any questions or appointments you may need. The best part is after you complete the program and become ulumni you are still able to be involved with the fellowship here. They have activities throughout the year and I look forward continuing my journey with SPRC.”
“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.”
