“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 is a wonderful treatment center!! The staff is amazing, they really care alot. My experience here was great and they helped me so much!”
“This place saved my life. I came in completely lost and full of fear. Dan Shawn Drew were especially helpful in figuring out what I need to focus on moving forward. I would send my family here any time. This place is family.”
“This is the best place for treatment. I came here for mental health treatment. Every single staff member truly cares about your treatment and helps create an individual plan for each’s path toward recovery. I had Brittany as my primary and she is by far the best therapist I have ever had. Every therapist was amazing. This place really cares. They really hold everyone accountable on their stuff and make sure everyone does their work towards recovery. There is a large sense of family here at SPRC. Even after you are done with treatment, they are not going to leave you hanging. They will help you figure everything you need for continuing care. They have such amazing treatments for mental health like EMDR and neurofeedback. The groups are relevant for everyone. This is the place for those who are wanting real help and those who are serious for recovery for mental health or addiction.”
“I highly recommend Scottsdale Providence for mental health recovery. I searched for a place that wasn’t just a rehab facility who saw mental health as a second thought and thankfully found SPRC. The staff truly care about helping and are educated on what they teach as well as people I enjoy being around. I’ve learned so much in my time there, processed trauma through groups, individual sessions, and EMDR, and I’m walking away with a much needed perspective change and so many more healthy coping skills. I’m grateful for all they’ve done to help me and look forward to going back to visit!”
“I was so afraid to go into treatment. When I came to Scottsdale Providence I was surprised to pull up to a mansion which would be my new home for a month. From my experience now in residence and PHP at the center I can say I have made significant progress and that's due to the facilities, the therapists (that actually care and had their own experience with substance abuse), the BHT's and the housemates. This is the best place to work on your recovery. I was adamant on only doing the 30 days and I ended stepping down to PHP and staying an additional two months. I can't say enough how grateful I am to have chosen Scottsdale Providence. If you or anyone else wants to get sober and or work on fheir mental health please contact SPRC this is the BEST place to do it.”
“Scottsdale Providence Recovery - saved my life getting me through the hardest times. The team never gave up and I’m grateful. I have to hand it to Lauren Younger my case manager who fought tooth and nail with things like my Short Term Disability, Legal and anything that came her way.”

“Providence is truly the best place to recover from mental health issues and/or substance abuse. Every single staff member really cares about helping people. None of them are in it for the money. I can't thank them enough. They saved my life. I stayed 90 days in their supportive housing and it's the best thing I've ever done for myself.”
“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.”

“No one goes to treatment because life is perfect and their emotional, spiritual, and physical well-being are at their peak. I never thought I’d need treatment for depression, anxiety, and substance abuse. But, I feel tremendously lucky to have found the help I needed with the most caring, and qualified staff one could ever ask for. I came in broken, depressed, and having lost the will to live. After 90 days, I’m leaving with sobriety, hope, gratitude and the tools I need to navigate through life and manage my depression and anxiety. Every staff member at Scottsdale Providence is compassionate and professional. I always felt they sincerely cared about my future and well-being. While I never thought I’d be in a treatment center for mental health and substance abuse, I’m forever grateful I was able to find SPRC. They ALWAYS looked after my best interest. And, I received help for my trauma, PTSD, anxiety, substance abuse, and depression. Whether you’re looking for help for yourself or a loved one, Scottsdale Providence can help for dual diagnoses. We all deserve help, and we all deserve happiness.”
“The staff at SPRC have truly made my time here all worth the while. Working with a variety of therapists who have different specialties gave me perspectives and feedback I hadn’t considered. It was a pleasure to have my wants and needs heard. I would highly recommend this treatment center for anyone seeking mental health treatment.”
“When I got here I came from a residential I thought I was all fixed but this program is where I really started to grow , I wasn’t even convinced I was an addict when I first got here and now I am here 90 days sober on my 6th step with a sponsor I call every day this would not be possible without SPRC. They worked with me even when I was very difficult to deal with , the staff did not give up on me . I am truly so so grateful for having the opportunity to be in this program and for the amazing therapists , care manager; psychiatrist, house managers the whole staff honestly. I was very lost when I came in here and now my life is completely changed from this program and I am continuing my recovery and moving into a sober apartment living which would not be possible without staff . SPRC truly has the best therapists and staff I have met in all of my treatments. Thank you SPRC for helping me and not giving up on me!”
