“My son entered Scottsdale Providence after leaving AMA twice from a very popular treatment facility just outside of Tucson. My son only 19 years old was really battling with depression, very high anxiety and Panic Attacks. Not only did Scottsdale Providence accept my son but due to my current financial situation as a disabled veteran they blew me away with their understanding and kindness and offered my son a scholarship which basically meant that as a family we paid absolutely nothing, Nada, Zilch out of pocket expenses for my sons treatment. What I’ve shared so far is really just the tip of the iceberg because the treatment my son received from day one was second to none. The staff, whether it be the on site psychiatrist/psychologist, the therapists, the behavioral health techs, the house managers and the case managers and yes even the administrative staff simply could not be better. Each staff member is extremely well trained in their particular profession and by Scottsdale Providence and all pay attention to detail. The help my son received while a client is and will continue to be a treasure trove of skills, mental health tools if you will, that my son can use now and as he continues to heal throughout his recovery and healing process. As a father and as a parent we all want the very best for our children, I can attest with complete transparency that if you, your child, a loved one or a friend will get nothing but the best in addiction care and mental health care from Scottsdale Providence. I could go on and on but let me close by saying this, the staff at Scottsdale Providence take their jobs very seriously and are not only an attribute to the company, one another and especially to each client but in a much bigger sense they are a huge ambassador and example of what treatment is all about and should be. I am forever thankful for the help and care my son received in such a compassionate setting. I’d also like to thank one staff member in particular as I dealt with him on several occasions. KYLE Thank you for being there night or day, whenever I had questions or concerns whatever my needs were you always treated me with dignity and respect. You deserve many more accolades but I hope my thank you will suffice for now. You truly are an ambassador that Scottsdale Providence cannot afford to lose. Sincerely and with gratitude and respect…. John G.”
“My time at SPRC changed my life. I would recommend anyone with a substance use or mental health concern to consider SPRC for their treatment needs. Many places claim to be “dual diagnosis” but SPRC is the first one to truly walk the walk.”
“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.”
“Scottsdale Providence is amazing! The staff genuinely cares and does fantastic work”
“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.”
“This place absolutely saved my life! The staff here is absolutely amazing and personable and fun! I learned how to use tools I never thought were possible. Brittany, Nicole, Kacey, Dan, Shawn were such positive impacts on my time here at Sprc and I am so thankful for the lengths they went for me when I was struggling. THANK YOU SPRC FOR SAVING MY LIFE. I highly highly recommend this place for any type of mental illness, substance abuse of ANY kind. They ACTUALLY care about you getting better.”
“They have a very great facility, top notch clinical team, and their NP was great as she spent a lot of time getting to know me, correctly assessing, and providing the treatment best suited for my needs.”
“This is my second home. This place was here for me in my time of need and accepted me back with open arms.
