“Amazing program. Very knowledgeable and insightful staff. Everyone is extremely helpful in the recovery process. Can be a challenge at times but is absolutely worthwhile for real recovery.”
“This place is great! I was really hopeless coming in and didn't think my chances of recovery were very high. The staff here, the therapists and the BHTs are the absolute greatest. Working with them has brought some hope back to my life and I now feel I'm not some hopeless drug addict. I can stay sober and this place helped me realize that. They treated my mental health too!!!! It feels nice having mental clarity.”
“I can not say enough good things about SPRC. To give a little background about my experience, I suffer from mental health issues. I had never been to a treatment center before. When I got here I was terrified. However the staff was very kind and put me at ease. The staff did an excellent job helping identify my needs and create a plan of recovery. They are very knowledgeable and genuinely care about the lives and recovery of each individual.”
“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 was given the opportunity to work on so much of myself as I was here and left with so much more then I could imagine”
“I am so grateful to have found SPRC. From the moment I called inquiring help for my LO, Kyle was so helpful and understanding and patient. Once LO agreed to help, the whole team was quick to move in the processing of getting LO in treatment. Kassie was great the moment we walked into the center and we felt welcomed and encouraged. Lauren has been amazing as LO's case worker, always positive and responsive to my concerns and questions. And Dan, the gratitude we have from where we were to where we are now, is huge. And a big shout out to the resident house managers and Nicole for having the monthly online meetings to provide further resources and support for family members. There are many more that I'm sure were part on LO's care and they too, deserve to be recognized. Keep on doing what you are doing, because you all are amazing!❤️”
“Scottsdale Providence is a thoroughly well put together treatment center, with staff who either are in recovery themselves with long time sober, or very knowledgeable of the disease of addiction and how to treat it. They cultivate a family environment at the house through inpatient, having clients prepare dinners for each other on a nightly basis, going on scheduled outings on the weekend, and much more. They also do a wonderful job of helping the recovering addict receive a conducive introduction into sobriety, taking you to meetings on a nightly basis while also incorporating H&I and a Big Book Study. They also make sure to keep ties with clients who graduate the program, always keeping an open door and offering counseling free of charge. I owe a great deal to SPRC, and each and every one of the staff. Shouts to Kacey, Dan, Shawn, AP$, and all the other family.”
