“Before coming to Scottsdale Providence I felt hopeless and I can truly say now that I no longer feel this way. Everyone on staff show up every day ready to provide education, support, and an overwhelming sense of care. I could not have asked for more and feel proud that my journey in life involved coming here!”
“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.”
“Great recovery center! The staff is kind and truly cares about their clients.”
“I highly recommend SPRC to anyone suffering and in need of either substance use or mental health treatment. They succeed with both issues as well as when they co-occur. The entire staff is supportive/wonderful and the co-owners care enough to facilitate their own groups and give clients their time when they need it. I appreciated that staff didn't tell me what I wanted to hear but rather what I needed to hear along my wellness journey. I am forever grateful and thankful.”
“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 came into SPRC extremely broken and hopeless. I didn’t even want to believe I was an addict, but through the extremely detailed and informational groups and the 12 steps of C.A., I quickly realized I had more than just my mental health to work on. Dan and Shawn may be super blunt and straightforward and that’s not for everyone, but it’s always from a place of love and compassion. All of the staff and therapists actively work with you to figure out the best course of treatment and are very flexible as the program goes on. This was my third time in rehab and absolutely the most beneficial and lifesaving one. If you are at your lowest of lows and are desperately willing to better your life, Scottsdale Providence is the place to go.”
“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.”
