“I enjoyed most aspects of SPRC. I really enjoyed finger painting and yoga. Playing silly games with my peers. Staying up late at night building a pillow fort and giggling the night away with my roommate. The recovery stuff was okay I guess, a little boring to be honest. If I have a crippling relapse which burns my life to the ground I will sure to come back :)”

“I've never seen anything like this treatment center. But it works if you put in the work. Great place!!”
“Very grateful for my experience at SPRC and elated that I chose this treatment center. This process was wonderful my physical, mental, and spiritual health. Dan is a great clinical director and Jackie was a wonderful primary therapist.”
“Scottsdales Providence Recovery Center saved my life. I have a new lease on life along with the tools to use moving forward. The staff is professional and compassionate. I will be forever grateful for my time here!”
“I wouldn’t be sober with scottsdale providence, they taught me accountability, coping skills, as well as providing a very individualized treatment experience”
“This place saved my life! This staff was incredible and it offered a ton of different treatment styles and plans. Would recommend to anybody.”
“The house and facilities are awesome and the staff really does care about every client. I have been to a lot of other treatment centers and scottsdale providence has been the best by far! This place saved my life and I would highly recommend coming here if your struggling with addiction or mental health issues.”
“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.”
“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.”
