“Absolutely fantastic treatment center!! Great place for recovery, beautiful house and facility, and staff really really cares. Best treatment center I’ve been to!”
“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.”
“Truly a blessing having been here, great staff they ultimately have a damn about your recovery regarding mental health and substance abuse. Classes formatted to your personalized treatment plan. Glad to have been apart of such a wonderful community and glad they allow you to come back when your struggling as alumni. Would recommended that if anyone who truly needs help to come here for the best support for processing trauma and addiction.”
“I usually don’t write reviews, but they deserve this one. Before I came into SPRC I was completely lost. I’d been looking all over the internet to try and find the best treatment center for my mental state. I was very hesitant on going anywhere but I knew I needed help. I called and talked to Talia and she was wicked nice and helpful. She was so helpful that I thought there was some kind of “catch”. I didn’t know why someone wanted to help me so much, I wasn’t used to that. I almost didn’t come in because I thought it was too good to be true. Well I’m happy I did because this place changed my life for the better. I’ve learned so much from the staff and other clients there as well. This place feels like my 2nd family and that’s weird for me to say because before coming here, all I did was isolate. I honestly believe that SPRC saved my life and I’ve seen them save plenty of others as well. Just make sure you’re willing to accept change because you HAVE to put the effort in to help yourself. They give you the tools to better yourself but you need to want the change.”
“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.”
“Scottsdale Providemce Recovery Center has changed my entire life and helped me discover what it means to live a full, rich, and meaningful life. I have learned more about myself in 3 months than the past 32 years of my life! Thank you so much and continue to bring that magic into other people's lives. You are saving lives!”
“Scottsdale Providence has truly changed my life. All of the staff members and therapists are so kind, compassionate and truly care about the clients and their well being. I have never seen anything like it and would highly recommend them to any one suffering with substance abuse or mental health issues.”

I have never seen anything like it and would highly recommend them to any one suffering with substance abuse or mental health issues.”
“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.”
“I can’t say enough about Scottsdale Providence Recovery Center and their staff. From my first phone call to inquire the compassion, care, and concern for our situation was amazing. The whole staff, but specifically Alex, Kyle, Stephanie and Dan, (who I have never met), stepped in to assist us over and above what we could have expected in a very difficult time and a very difficult situation. This was not our first experience with a behavioral health facility, but certainly the best experience and hopefully the last. We utilized both their outpatient and housing services and I could not have been more impressed. The staff work diligently with their clients and truly will do anything to ensure their success. If anyone has any questions about a mental health or substance abuse facility that works and has a staff that goes above and beyond not just for the patient, but their family as well, this is the place to go. They have given me a gift back in the work they do that is invaluable. Highly recommend!!!”
“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.”
“I had a really great experience here. The staff was great. They genuinely cared about the patients. They have so much love and patience. They helped me with knowing that these feelings won’t last forever. And reminded me of grounding techniques that I can use to help calm myself down. The therapists are amazing, especially Jillian and Denise. They really know their stuff and are easy to build a rapport with. They helped me learn skills to help with emotional regulation. Jillian made getting through EMDR possible with time. I felt so safe with Jillian. I wish she could come back to Virginia with me.”
“This center has been life changing for me! I’ve never gotten such personalized help as I did at SPRC. Not only attending daily group therapy, but having one on one sessions with multiple different therapist/psychiatrist has open my eyes to a world of help I didn’t know was available for me. The knowledge I’m leaving this center with about myself is priceless and I cannot thank the staff and my peers enough. I truly don’t know if I’d be here today without this amazing center and their resources! 100/10 would recommend to anyone who feels like their situation is beyond helping!”
“I'm changing my review from 1 to 5 stars. Although I struggled at the residential house, I've been attending the PHP for mental health and I'm happy I decided to come back. I've been to different one-on-one therapists for years without much improvement, and I was skeptical about how effective group therapy would be. In a few short weeks, I've learned so much about myself and what's been keeping me in unhealthy thinking patterns. They have many different therapists that work together to approach care from different angles, and they foster a supportive group environment. At first I was overwhelmed by how different each therapist is, because I didn't know what to expect from one class to the next. Now I see how they have challenged each aspect of recovery; mind, body, and spirit. Thanks SPRC”
“I cannot say enough about this organization and the people who support it. I was in the PHP program and through thick and thin I was cared about and supported through each phase of my growth and development in recovery. I feel stronger and more hopeful today than ever before and looking forward to what the next chapter has to bring because of the work I did while here. Thanks SPRC!”
“When I arrived at SPRC I wouldn't talk or look up. I was beaten down and had no hope. After working the program I have found myself again. I feel joy and a sense of self that I never knew. Thank you to the therapist and the entire staff for your support.”
