Stories of Hope & Recovery

“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.”
“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.”
“SPRC is such amazing place with amazing staff who truly care about your recovery! Do yourself a favor and just say "yes"!”
“My experience at Scottsdale Providence was amazing. I wasn’t sure what treatment would be like or what to expect but the staff has been beyond amazing and helpful throughout my journey. They offer many tools to help out through recovery process. I started out at the residential house first and the staff there is awesome, extremely helpful, and very well educated. They have group therapy sessions that I found to be extremely helpful and have helped me out a lot with my social anxiety. I then moved to the PHP house which was also another awesome experience for me. The PHP program was also extremely beneficial and involves a more work like schedule to help with adjusting back into the real world. Both houses were a great opportunity to get to know the staff on a bit of a personal level and build relationships with other clients as well. The fellowship I have gained in treatment is just one of the many things that makes me want to continue on with my sobriety. I have built relationships that I truly believe will last a lifetime. I am beyond thankful to the staff at the houses and at the center as well.”
“SPRC is beyond what I hoped it would be. This place literally saved my life. The staff are so helpful and caring. There are so many good things I can say about them. Whether it’s mental health or substance abuse the staff in this program help you with the necessary skills to not only improve your life, but to thrive. Thank you SPRC!!”

“Scottsdale Providence gave me the education, skills, and awareness to be in a great place to recover as well as many tools and resources to take with me once I completed treatment. Two thumbs up!”

“SPRC genuinely saved my life and I will forever be grateful for my experience at the center!! The entire staff (therapists, BHTs, the clinical director) is unlike any other place and truly, genuinely care about each client's recovery. The culture here is so welcoming and honestly makes recovery not only fulfilling but fun. Thank you for everything you've done for me and helping me find the will to live a healthy and happy life again :'). This will be something I carry with me forever. (Tyler's grief and loss class is one of the best groups also Denise's spirituality group ^-^ if you come here try checking out those groups!!!)”
“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.”
“SPRC is hands down the greatest treatment center there is. They have great staff that is truly dedicated to helping people. Everyone is very down to earth and easy to get along with. Kara is an amazing therapist and their case manager Nicole is a life saver. If you are looking for help with mental health or substance abuse this is the best place to be.”
“My time at SPRC changed my life. I would recommend anyone with a substance use or mental health concern to consider SPRC for their treatment needs. Many places claim to be “dual diagnosis” but SPRC is the first one to truly walk the walk.”
“Scottsdale Providence Recovery Center is a great place to start your recovery. The group therapy is intense but so worth it. It’s one of several places that helped save me. I am forever grateful.”
“SPRC is a place of beauty and growth i highly recommend this place for everyone who is struggling”
“I can not say enough good things about SPRC. To give a little background about my experience, I suffer from mental health issues. I had never been to a treatment center before. When I got here I was terrified. However the staff was very kind and put me at ease. The staff did an excellent job helping identify my needs and create a plan of recovery. They are very knowledgeable and genuinely care about the lives and recovery of each individual.”
“I attended providence for substance abuse. The staff was amazing and I got the 1 on 1 therapy that I needed. I’ve been to several other treatment centers and this is by far the best one I’ve attended. Providence has provided me with the necessary tools to continue living a happy and substance free life.”
