Stories of Hope & Recovery
Browse firsthand reviews of Scottsdale Providence Recovery Center, shared in the words of the people who wrote them. The comments below offer a closer look at the care team, treatment setting, communication, and support available here.
“After having doubts of entering a treatment facility, they were immediately squashed due to the outstanding staff members and facility at SPRC. The environment is extremely safe while making treatment enjoyable and fulfilling. I felt that SPRC truly cared about my recovery which led to a very comfortable experience. All of the faculty has the client's best interest at heart and will go the extra mile. The knowledge I've gained I will keep forever and continue to expand on in the future. I highly recommend SPRC to anyone in need of help. I am extremely grateful and thankful. God Bless SPRC.”

“I was cared for great and I was treated as a person and not a number. Almost all the classes were very informative and I learned a lot. I was also able to connect with not only the fellow clients but also the staff pretty well. Everyone was friendly and checked in with me frequently. I have a new outlook on life and I'm much more hopeful about my future. It was a blessing.”
“All the staff was well informed and very helpful. The therapists were great, as well as support staff. I would recommend SPRC for anyone seeking relief from addiction. Mike W.”
“SPRC was exactly what I needed at exactly the right time. The quality of care in all settings was unmatched. They worked with my family to get my in as soon as possible and upon arrival I was welcomed and felt confident in the treatment that I would receive. While all staff was great, I felt like I was paired with the perfect therapists for the treatment I needed. I would not hesitate to recommend this facility to family or friends in need.”
“I couldn't say enough good things about Scottsdale Providence. I very truly believe this is the best place anyone could come to. The therapists are amazing, support staff is so helpful and everyone who comes here is truly a life long family. I never once second guessed my time spent in this program as every moment was so insightful and helpful. I would highly recommend this program over and over if you are serious about your health you will undoubtedly find everything you need and more here.”
“SPRC has been a life changing experience for me. I did the inpatient treatment in the women’s house, met some life long friends and have grown so much. Not only does this center treat addiction but also mental health disorders, and trauma! I have learned acceptance, self compassion, and so much more with the help of the therapists who run groups and peer support. It’s a lot at first like any treatment center can be with intensive therapy but you get used to it. The cool thing here is if you complete the 90 day treatment you are alumni and can come into groups whenever you like and are invited to events. SPRC is like a second family to me. I’m so grateful;)”

“The staff here is top notch! Everything was very well organized from the group sessions to individual sessions. The treatment is individualized to you so it’s not a cookie cutter program which I liked. Also a great space located in Scottsdale”
“I entered treatment for primary mental health and stayed in the girls house for 4 weeks before leaving for surgery for an unrelated injury. The staff is very kind and supportive and helped me to address my core issues. I would recommend SPRC for substance abuse and/or mental health issues.”
“Great recovery center! The staff is kind and truly cares about their clients.”
“This program was nothing but amazing. The staff, therapists, and house managers all were great and took my needs very seriously. I was given the proper information about my disease to get sober and live a great life. GO SCOTTSDALE PROVIDENCE”
“SPRC was a pleasant experience for me. The staff really seemed to care about you and really want you to recover. The center and the house is really nice and you do experience while you attend this rehab. Would recommended to anyone needing help with substance and mental health”
“Amazing recovery center… I was only supposed to be here 30 days and I ended up staying 60 because I noticed a big difference in my mindset and my sobriety. The community here is unmatched and the staff is incredible. I made life long friendships with my peers and will miss this place. SpRC has changed my life for the better.”
“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.”
“If you are serious about wanting to make and be the change in your life, I highly recommend seeking help and guidance at Providence in Scottsdale, Arizona. Aside from the glorious living conditions, the men and women on staff show the upmost care and due respect to treat every individual with uniqueness and boldness. I appreciate and respect every individual who helped along this journey and will not forget those who spoke words of life into me when I was struggling. If you are lost and searching for the right treatment center or having difficulty making a decision, call and speak to the staff at Providence. They are not there to persuade or make the decision for you, instead they are there strictly to give those who are sick mentally, physically, and spiritually and provide them with the skills and environment to be able to open up and grow in these areas. Thank you Providence for the love and patience you exhibited towards me. You all were and will always be a huge part of the reason each day gets me closer and closer to reaching my full potential as a recovering mental addict. Much love, continue leading people down the path towards truth and freedom.”
