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.
“This program completely turned my life around. The staff is amazing and everyone is super supportive. These people actually care about every individual and take the steps to treat everyone to a better life”
“I attended SPRC for both sober living and intensive out patient therapy (IOP). The experience was amazing start to finish. The entire team is highly trained in both addiction and mental health counseling. This is a must use treatment center if your battling addiction or mental health issues.”
“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.”

“Scottsdale Providence has been the most life changing and life saving opportunity, that I couldn’t be more grateful for! They’re so supportive and know what they’re doing to help you get back to yourself and your health. The connections I’ve made here are ones I will share for a life time! 100/100 recommend starting in your recovery with Scottsdale Providence. The staff is amazing and so knowledgeable about what you need and what it takes to help everyone who comes through here individually. It’s not just a clinic or a recovery center, it’s a family and they actually care about you here. Absolutely loved my time here, and I couldn’t be more thankful for everyone.”

“I loved this center and everything it has to offer. The staff is amazing, and have brought the care and the support that i was searching for, and i know they’d do the same for people who are looking for that right now. It’s a place that is serious to committing themselvesto helping people, and im not just saying that. 10/10!”
“Scottsdale Providence saved my life. I came from Sequoia Residential for further treatment and moved into the women’s housing. I have made so many wonderful connections with sober women and men. The house bed is comfortable for adequate rest, the center therapists and staff are there WHENEVER you need it. The groups are ran incredibly with plenty of room to share without judgement. My care team / trauma therapists worked through and pushed me to my fullest potential. I’m 90 days sober and it’s because of Scottsdale Providences helping me through the whole process. I attended meetings, group sessions, trauma therapy, and primary individual therapy. The psychiatrist got me on all the right meds, and case management got my short term disability taken care of. I am FOREVER grateful for this place. 💕”

“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!❤️”
