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.
“I’ve been waiting for SPRC all my life. Skilled, compassionate professionals driven to help those with mental health issues, addiction, trauma and other struggles. Dan and his team present and bring to life key concepts and support in a way that resonates with all types: young/old, blue-collar/professional, male/female, etc. Even the greatest skeptics who have tried many different recovery facilities will find a unique experience here where the tools and concepts land in a way they become assets for life. Couldn’t recommend this team enough.”
“Scottsdale Providence Recovery Center was amazing. I was looking for PTSD treatment at first, but through the help of the SPRC staff I have now been sober for 2 1/2 months! They helped immensely with my mental health disorders, which included psychosis when I got there. I have been to other inpatient and outpatient treatment centers, and SPRC is above and beyond any treatment I have ever received. They have a different way of handling addiction and mental health that really makes a difference. Also, every staff member I worked with really cared about my recovery and mental health. I would definitely recommend SPRC to anyone looking for help with mental disorders or addiction issues!”
“SPRC was exactly what I needed at exactly the right time. The quality of care in all settings was unmatched. They worked with my family to get my in as soon as possible and upon arrival I was welcomed and felt confident in the treatment that I would receive. While all staff was great, I felt like I was paired with the perfect therapists for the treatment I needed. I would not hesitate to recommend this facility to family or friends in need.”
“No one goes to treatment because life is perfect and their emotional, spiritual, and physical well-being are at their peak. I never thought I’d need treatment for depression, anxiety, and substance abuse. But, I feel tremendously lucky to have found the help I needed with the most caring, and qualified staff one could ever ask for. I came in broken, depressed, and having lost the will to live. After 90 days, I’m leaving with sobriety, hope, gratitude and the tools I need to navigate through life and manage my depression and anxiety. Every staff member at Scottsdale Providence is compassionate and professional. I always felt they sincerely cared about my future and well-being. While I never thought I’d be in a treatment center for mental health and substance abuse, I’m forever grateful I was able to find SPRC. They ALWAYS looked after my best interest. And, I received help for my trauma, PTSD, anxiety, substance abuse, and depression. Whether you’re looking for help for yourself or a loved one, Scottsdale Providence can help for dual diagnoses. We all deserve help, and we all deserve happiness.”
“I've always had underlying trauma and mental health issues that I never dealt with and didn't know or understand how to comprehend it. I was at a very low point in my life and didn't know what else to do. That's when I was recommended to take a look into recovery programs and centers. I called around a few places and none was as quick as Scottsdale Providence to reach back out in a desperate time of need. Within minutes I was contacted by Taliah and was ask if I'm genuinely doing okay and if she can be of any services. That's when I knew that this was potential the place for me to get my life back on track. She took me step by step of how everything was going to happen and once I get to the center they will help me with anything that may come along with this journey. Once I got to the center I was greeted by multiple people and felt real human connection by each of the staff members here. Scottsdale Providence has taught me alot of valuable skills and lessons while being here. The best thing I got out from Scottsdale Providence was that my pain or my trauma did not have to go unnoticed and what I went through matters. That no matter what I'm never alone. So I will always be grateful for this place and the path I have going forward because of them 🤍”
“I absolutely love this place they saved my life. Great bhts amazing php with caring and kind clinitions that work with you every step of the way on your road to becoming a healthy and functional member of society.”
“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.”
“During a difficult time for our family Providence was an island of authenticity, honesty and a program that made a difference. I will be forever grateful for what they did for my family.”

“I am so grateful for the great staff at Scottsdale Providence Recovery. Remarkable people, from the person at the front desk to the therapists. Dan and Shawn are amazing. They are extremely knowledgeable, reliable and deeply passionate about their jobs. Their brutal honesty about who they are and their ability to be honest with the clients clearly shows their dedication to this program. Scottsdale Providence feels like home.”
“Opportunity to meet people from all walks of life. In addition, the staff did not coddle you. They brought you into your natural raw in order to face everything from the time of diagnosis recovery and follow up.”
“I have been a client at SPRC since the end of May 2025. This place honestly saved my life. I was in the PHP house for my first 2 months, and while there were hard days, I could not be more grateful that I stayed. SPRC taught me not just how to sit with discomfort, but how to thrive in it. Before coming here, I was hopeless. I did 3 weeks at a residential treatment center in Tucson before I was booted due to insurance. Alex and the other staff at SPRC were incredibly gracious with my financial situation; they look at the clients as real people rather than numbers. Each therapist here made me feel cared for and understood in both groups and individual sessions. Working with Denise has expanded my view of past traumas and how those affect my decisions and actions today, and she has facilitated so much healing of my inner parts. Dr. Sarah and her OT team helped me significantly with understanding my underlying neurodivergence. If you are debating coming here or sending your loved one here, I can attest to it being an extremely compassionate, fun-loving, and respectful community. The people I’ve met here have become a family to me, so much so that I decided to return for IOP after taking time out of state. That’s not to say it’s an easy walk in the park; you will work here, and you will face challenges. But you will have people standing by your side throughout them all. I feel the team at SPRC genuinely wants the best for me and cares about my wellbeing and success living a sober, free life. All of my love to this place.”
“I've had a wonderful experience at sprc, they definitely changed my life and have assisted so much in my road to recovery. This is such an honest and hard working rehab facility, the staff care so deeply about their clients and help build a strong fellowship of healthy individual to keep you connected after treatment. I've made so many beautiful connects here and it holds a very special place in my heart. 100% recommend.”
“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.”
“This is my second home. This place was here for me in my time of need and accepted me back with open arms. I cant explain the how much I value my friends i expect to have for life here and also the staff who are like apart of my family. If you are looking for people who know how to treat people you should put this at the top of your list for sure. Much love <3.”
