Mental Health
Depression, anxiety, trauma, and co-occurring disorders addressed through evidence-based therapeutic approaches.
Freedom from the combined challenges of mental health and substance use starts with integrated care delivered by a multidisciplinary team. Dual-diagnosis treatment addresses both conditions together to help you thrive across all dimensions of wellness and support lasting, fulfilling recovery. You deserve to see what is on the other side of this struggle.
Primary Mental Health
Modern mental health treatment for the challenges of real life; we are here with compassion and warmth to help you find your footing. We are fully dedicated to supporting you every step of the way with programs designed around you, backed by evidence-based approaches. You don't have to go through this alone.
Addiction Treatment
We have been where you are, we can show you a path forward. Addiction treatment focuses on helping you maintain abstinence, regain stability, and begin living the life you’ve always wanted. Getting sober is just the beginning.
When you are ready to seek out treatment, finding a trusted place you feel safe is important. We recognize this courageous first step. Scottsdale Providence Recovery Center has helped families nationwide find a new way of living and thriving. We're here when you're ready.
Scottsdale Providence Recovery Center builds comprehensive treatment programs designed to assist our clients in transforming their lives through a therapeutic journey of self-discovery, real-world experiences, skill building and relational repair. Guided by principles of authenticity, compassion and fellowship, we consider ourselves a healing community rather than a "facility". Providing a full continuum of care across Residential and Outpatient centers, our goal is for our clients to rewrite their stories, creating a new relationship with themselves and the world around them.


Walking through our doors welcomes you into a lively and welcoming culture of joyful and authentic recovery, no matter if it is your first time seeking help or your 10th time in treatment.
Different levels of care are available to match where you are in your recovery journey, whether you need intensive daily support or more flexible outpatient options. Our full continuum is intentionally designed to provide 90 days of healing and includes Inpatient-Residential, Partial Hospitalization (PHP), Intensive Outpatient (IOP), and Evening IOP programs, allowing you or your loved one to receive the right level of care at the right time.
“This is my second home. This place was here for me in my time of need and accepted me back with open arms.

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.”

“I couldn't have asked for more than what was given to me during my stay here at Scottsdale Providence. A genuine staff that put my needs first. I'm so thankful for the time I was given at SPRC. I would recommend this treatment program over any other place over and over again.”
“SPRC is such amazing place with amazing staff who truly care about your recovery! Do yourself a favor and just say "yes"!”
“Scottsdale programs had saved my life in the following ways. They provided me with coping skills to handle stressful situations. I was someone who was broken in many different ways a team of specialist who never gave up on me. There are many words that I can’t even describe to thank them For the services who are dedicated and provided for me. My family got their daughter back.”

“Best treatment center I’ve been to. I was able to work on my mental health as well as addictions. Compassionate and supportive staff. I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone.”
“From Residential to IOP, the experience was impressive. I spent about 100 days with Scottsdale Providence and was dealing with a lot of legal issues, FMLA and disability needs. Knowledgeable, qualified staff with continuous training helped me every step of the way. I was educated in mental health and my addiction and provided every tool necessary to continue a fulfilling, sober life. The connections Scottsdale Providence provides to ensure every part of the client is served was amazing. From seeing a medical doctor, a psych nurse, yoga studio, resources for continuum of care once treatment has concluded all assisted me in my recovery. I couldn't be more grateful to the organization and staff. They literally saved my life!”
“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.”
