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.
“Scottsdale Providence is an incredible place. They helped me get clean, sober, and happy while providing a safe comfortable place to do so. All the staff and therapist truly care about your recovery and many of them have been through recovery themselves. They are extremely knowledgeable and compassionate. And the fellowship and community here is one of a kind. The program helped me address the root cause of my addiction and gave me the tools to live a fulfilling life. They even set me up with an aftercare plan to maintain my sobriety. I would really recommend SPRC to anyone struggling with mental health or addiction!”
“Scottsdale Providence had a huge impact on the wellbeing of my mental health. They have BHT’s, clinical staff, doctors, and case managers at every level of care with a deep working knowledge on mental health and substance abuse disorders. Beyond being a health care facility, they care for each of their patients and present them with healthy challenge towards their old ways of thinking and living. Two weeks after my discharge, clinical staff and BHT’s are still looking after my wellness and encouraging me from afar. I highly recommend Scottsdale Providence. The housing is beautiful, the staff deeply cares, and the experience is life-changing.”
“I had a great experience, everyone is very professional and clear about treatment plans.”
“I came in to Providence in February, I completed a 60 program. The staff here really cares about your recovery and is really friendly, welcoming. If you are looking for a recovery center, I highly recommend Providence. I created a fellowship and support group I would have never imagined. Thanks for everything Providence love you guys!!!!”
“Great therapists, intensive programming, by far the best treatment center I’ve been to”
“If you want help, this is the place to go. The staff are caring and knowledgeable, but they push you to your limit. It's not an easy program; it's an effective one.”

“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 came to Scottsdale Providence completely broken and lost. SPRC made a personal recovery plan taylored just for me. With the help of EMDR therapy, individual therapy sessions, and an amazing group setting atmosphere, I can confidently say that my life has turned around immensely and given me great hope for lifelong sobriety and happiness. I am so thankful and greatful for everyone at SPRC.”
“When I found Scottsdale Providence, I thought it was going to be just another treatment center. Turns out, they are the best treatment center I have ever been too. I struggled with addiction and mental health. I thought one was going to get treated more than the other and again, I was wrong. The recourses they offer for substance abuse, mental health, trauma and so much more is incredible! The staff here is absolutely amazing. There is not one staff member here that doesn’t care about each and every client.The center has made a huge impact on not only my recovery but my life and my family’s life as well. I wouldn’t have made it as far as I have today without the help of SPRC. If you are looking for a place to help you succeed and a place that will give you all the resources you need, Scottsdale Providence Recovery Center is the place to be!”
“Had an excellent experience and outcome. Staff was incredibly caring and invested in my recovery. All staff seemed to love helping people and were happy to be there for me. Houses are beautiful and comfortable and the facility is clean, modern and well taken care of. Felt like a family.”
“I highly recommend the program at Providence! The co-owners are involved in the daily treatment groups and all staff is professional yet laid back. The housing accommodations are top notch. Highly recommend”
“This facility saved my life! I highly recommend this program to any individual that is struggling, I couldn’t thank the staff here enough for the impact that has been made for my family and I!”
“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.”
