Mental Health
Depression, anxiety, trauma, and co-occurring disorders addressed through evidence-based therapeutic approaches.
Freedom from the combined challenges of mental health and substance use starts with integrated care delivered by a multidisciplinary team. Dual-diagnosis treatment addresses both conditions together to help you thrive across all dimensions of wellness and support lasting, fulfilling recovery. You deserve to see what is on the other side of this struggle.
Primary Mental Health
Modern mental health treatment for the challenges of real life; we are here with compassion and warmth to help you find your footing. We are fully dedicated to supporting you every step of the way with programs designed around you, backed by evidence-based approaches. You don't have to go through this alone.
Addiction Treatment
We have been where you are, we can show you a path forward. Addiction treatment focuses on helping you maintain abstinence, regain stability, and begin living the life you’ve always wanted. Getting sober is just the beginning.
When you are ready to seek out treatment, finding a trusted place you feel safe is important. We recognize this courageous first step. Scottsdale Providence Recovery Center has helped families nationwide find a new way of living and thriving. We're here when you're ready.
Scottsdale Providence Recovery Center builds comprehensive treatment programs designed to assist our clients in transforming their lives through a therapeutic journey of self-discovery, real-world experiences, skill building and relational repair. Guided by principles of authenticity, compassion and fellowship, we consider ourselves a healing community rather than a "facility". Providing a full continuum of care across Residential and Outpatient centers, our goal is for our clients to rewrite their stories, creating a new relationship with themselves and the world around them.


Walking through our doors welcomes you into a lively and welcoming culture of joyful and authentic recovery, no matter if it is your first time seeking help or your 10th time in treatment.
Different levels of care are available to match where you are in your recovery journey, whether you need intensive daily support or more flexible outpatient options. Our full continuum is intentionally designed to provide 90 days of healing and includes Inpatient-Residential, Partial Hospitalization (PHP), Intensive Outpatient (IOP), and Evening IOP programs, allowing you or your loved one to receive the right level of care at the right time.
“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.”

Designed by Clinical Founder Daniel Nichols, LCSW, our co-occurring treatment programming provides specialized care for clients who struggle with ongoing substance abuse alongside unresolved trauma, mood disorder or personality disorder. We address this complexity with an Integrated Health Model with Abstinence Focus which allows for sobriety to be established within a foundation of evidence-based clinical interventions, psychiatric care and resilience building.
A comprehensive range of proven therapeutic modalities are used to meet your unique needs. From trauma-focused treatments to behavioral therapies, evidence-based approaches are combined to address the challenges you are facing and support steady, long-term progress.
Rebuild essential daily living skills and establish healthy routines through purposeful, meaningful activities. Our occupational therapists work with you to restore independence in self-care, productivity, and leisure while developing coping strategies that support long-term recovery and help you reintegrate into work, family, and community life.
Overseen by Board-Certified Addiction Medicine Expert Dr. Steven Locnikar, substance use disorder treatment combines a holistic approach with medically supported detox, personalized treatment planning, and a positive, solution-focused recovery culture. Evidence-based therapies including 12-Step Facilitation help you address substance use patterns while also supporting your mental, physical, spiritual and emotional well-being in a structured, supportive setting focused on long-term sobriety.
Begin safely and comfortably with round-the-clock medical care through withdrawal.
Care built around your story, your substance use patterns, and your goals.
Evidence-based engagement with a proven framework, fellowship, and accountability.
A positive community that builds momentum toward lasting sobriety.
Physician-Led Care
Every step of treatment is overseen by an addiction medicine expert, so your recovery is grounded in real medical care from day one.
With over 300 years of clinical expertise our comprehensive mental health treatment program includes diagnostic and assessment services, one-on-one and group therapy, trauma work and continuous psychiatric support.

I highly suggest anyone that wants a real chance of getting and staying sober to reach out to SPRC.”
“SPRC was an amazing experience. The staff treated us with respect while also not cutting corners in treatment. I cannot recommend SPRC highly enough!!!”
“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.”
“SPRC was a wonderful experience. I did not have high hopes or expectations when I started but their staff was so welcoming and engaging it made the entire process worthwhile. I am very happy that I made the decision to enter their program and feel they have provided the tools for success. They are very encouraging and engaging.”
“Scottsdale Providence has changed my life in every aspect. I came in miserable and upset with every part of my life and I leave feeling confident and excited to put the skills I have learned here to work. They treat each person individually based on their needs and I always felt safe to be open and honest. I would recommend this experience to anyone struggling with addiction or mental health issues. Life can get better if you reach out and be honest.”
“Amazing work they are doing here. Great team of people to help with mental health or recovery. Sabrina is so great at listening to your wants and works around it. Lauren is amazing helping with short term disability paperwork. All the therapists are understanding and helpful.highly recommend”
