“This place really does change lives. Shawn and Dan are great and have really done wonders with this center. Kyle is a great case manager and has helped me immensely and I really do recommend SPRC over any treatment center in the valley as I have had a few others to compare to. I definitely give SPRC a ton of credit towards my recovery.”
“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.”
“This place absolutely saved my life! The staff here is absolutely amazing and personable and fun! I learned how to use tools I never thought were possible. Brittany, Nicole, Kacey, Dan, Shawn were such positive impacts on my time here at Sprc and I am so thankful for the lengths they went for me when I was struggling. THANK YOU SPRC FOR SAVING MY LIFE. I highly highly recommend this place for any type of mental illness, substance abuse of ANY kind. They ACTUALLY care about you getting better.”
“I came to attend the Scottsdale Providence. Without question they saved my life. Over the last six months their treatment program provided three levels of intensive care with residential , partial hospitalization and lastly outpatient programming; that in total comprised six months. 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”
“By far the best treatment center I have ever been to. The clinical team is well educated, professional and works with cohesion to provide clients with the tools necessary for recovery. The facilities are very nice and the aftercare support is just as good as the inpatient support.”
“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.”
“If you are serious about getting help with your mental health and/or sobriety this is THE PLACE!!! SPRC has changed my life and given me everything that I need in my mental health recovery, and I am so grateful that I will be continuing my care with them for years to come. I was skeptical about seeking treatment for myself after seeing family members shuffled around and medicated to collect a copay and to bill insurance. SPRC treats you like an individual and will go above and beyond to get you the help that you need! They do everything with love and sometimes it’s tough love, but true healing and serious treatment needs that! The community that has been built is unlike any other as well! Come to get healthy, and stay for the love and support!!!”
“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.”

“Providence was extremely helpful to my personal recovery. They provided me with many helpful coping skills as well as resources for managing my substance abuse. The staff are all really kind and it has made a big difference in my perspective and outlook on my future.”
“Scottsdale Providence is a wonderful program. Their commitment and care to my son was great. Caitlin, Lauren and all the staff were amazing. They had compassion, knowledge and understanding not only to my son but to our family as well. So grateful for this program and staff they truly care.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Tomorrow I’ll be discharging from Scottsdale Providence Recovery Center after spending the past month here, and honestly, it’s hard to put into words how much this place and the people here have meant to me.Coming here was not an easy decision, and walking through those doors came with a lot of emotions, uncertainty, and fear. But over the past month, I’ve experienced so much growth, and I truly don’t think I could have gotten to this point without the support I received here.I want to give a huge thank you to the entire staff — my case manager, therapists, clinicians, and techs. Every single person has played a part in my experience here. There were days when I needed someone to listen, days when I needed encouragement, and days when I probably needed more patience than I realized. The staff continued to show up for me, support me, and remind me that I was capable of getting through this.What I’ll remember most isn’t just the groups or the things I learned in treatment. It’s the people. It’s the conversations, the encouragement, the little moments, and having people around me who genuinely wanted to see me succeed. I came here needing help, and I’m leaving with more hope, more self-awareness, and a stronger foundation for the life I want to build.Tomorrow is going to be bittersweet. I’m excited for what comes next, but saying goodbye to the people who have been such a big part of my life for the past month is definitely emotional. I’ll always be grateful that I came here and gave myself the opportunity to heal and grow.To everyone at Scottsdale Providence who has supported me along the way: thank you. Thank you for believing in me, for being patient with me, for listening to me, and for reminding me that my life is worth fighting for. I’ll carry what I learned here with me long after I leave.I genuinely recommend this program to anyone who is struggling and feels like they need a place to start. If you’re scared to take that first step, I hope you know that it can be worth it. It was for me. ❤️”
“10/10 SPRC is a genuinely caring community. They do everything they can to help support us, I had a great experience here. Coming here I realized I’m not alone, I found my people, the people that get me and I get them. Some places can be more about the money and getting people in and out, but not here, they are about giving us our life back and I can say that they have helped me be able to get back on my feet when I thought it wasn’t possible.”
“I have been to a lot of recovery centers over the last 3 or 4 year and Scottsdale Providence has been far and away the best. The staff and programming have been excellent. I came here primarily for substance abuse, but Providence also specializes in mental health which I have benefitted from. I recommend this facility to anyone who wants to improve their life and become the person they want to be.”
