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 came into SPRC extremely broken and hopeless. I didn’t even want to believe I was an addict, but through the extremely detailed and informational groups and the 12 steps of C.A., I quickly realized I had more than just my mental health to work on. Dan and Shawn may be super blunt and straightforward and that’s not for everyone, but it’s always from a place of love and compassion. All of the staff and therapists actively work with you to figure out the best course of treatment and are very flexible as the program goes on. This was my third time in rehab and absolutely the most beneficial and lifesaving one. If you are at your lowest of lows and are desperately willing to better your life, Scottsdale Providence is the place to go.”
“Chosing a recovery center is a life-changing decision. After looking at multiple options, I chose SPRC because,initially, they made me feel the most comfortable. There were no sales tactics or unnecessary pressure. They provided the information requested and let me make the decision. While the facilities are outstanding, it is the staff that truly made this a great experience. From intake through discharge, the SPRC team made me feel comfortable and acknowledged as they guided me through the recovery process. Looking ahead, I am excited to be plugged into the SPRC sober network and support system, which will be crucial to my continuing sobriety & success.”
“I really enjoyed the oppertunitie to engageyself into this setting as a door for me to move forward in my recovery and also the oppertunitie to give back and to help other move forward in there recovery”
“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.”
“I came to SPRC at my absolute lowest. The level of case management, groups available, and individual therapy is miles above anywhere else I’ve tried. However, you need to be willing to accept the help, work on yourself, and put in the work. As an alcoholic who couldn’t think of one redeeming quality in myself 3 months ago, I recommend SPRC to anyone looking for help whether you’re struggling with substances or mental health problems. This isn’t a place to rest or solve all your problems, but they set you up for success. Shout out Lauren in case management for running the ship and Caitlin for helping me navigate into a new life.”
“I enjoyed most aspects of SPRC. I really enjoyed finger painting and yoga. Playing silly games with my peers. Staying up late at night building a pillow fort and giggling the night away with my roommate. The recovery stuff was okay I guess, a little boring to be honest. If I have a crippling relapse which burns my life to the ground I will sure to come back :)”
“Scottsdale Providence saved my life, amazing staff that care deeply about their clinets. They helped me with my recovery and supported me in everyway they could. Thank you Scottsdale Providence.”
“Scottsdale Providence had a huge impact on the wellbeing of my mental health. They have BHT’s, clinical staff, doctors, and case managers at every level of care with a deep working knowledge on mental health and substance abuse disorders. Beyond being a health care facility, they care for each of their patients and present them with healthy challenge towards their old ways of thinking and living. Two weeks after my discharge, clinical staff and BHT’s are still looking after my wellness and encouraging me from afar. I highly recommend Scottsdale Providence. The housing is beautiful, the staff deeply cares, and the experience is life-changing.”

“I have been through many treatment centers and this is by far the best one I've been to. The staff is amazing. Tyler and Michael are great and Lionel is awesome. Lauren the case manager is a God send and Jillian the trauma therapist is a saint. Thank you to Denise and my entire health care team. You all are amazing.”
“Scottsdale Providence has been the most life changing and life saving opportunity, that I couldn’t be more grateful for! They’re so supportive and know what they’re doing to help you get back to yourself and your health. The connections I’ve made here are ones I will share for a life time! 100/100 recommend starting in your recovery with Scottsdale Providence. The staff is amazing and so knowledgeable about what you need and what it takes to help everyone who comes through here individually. It’s not just a clinic or a recovery center, it’s a family and they actually care about you here. Absolutely loved my time here, and I couldn’t be more thankful for everyone.”
“I attended SPRC for both sober living and intensive out patient therapy (IOP). The experience was amazing start to finish. The entire team is highly trained in both addiction and mental health counseling. This is a must use treatment center if your battling addiction or mental health issues.”
“The level of care I received was unmatched. I could not have asked for better staffing or standards and they saved me from both my addiction and myself. In a way, they saved my life and I will forever be appreciative.”
“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.”
“SPRC has an excellent staff which focuses on multiple facets of treatment. They are very attentive to individual needs, not just another number. The living facility is top notch. Don't go there if you are looking for an easy way out. They won't put up with your BS!”
