What Our Clients Say
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.
“WHEN I GOT HERE I WAS COMPLETELY BROKEN. I COULDNT FUNCTION OR EVEN COMPLETE THE BASIC DAILY TASKS THAT LIFE ASKS OF YOU. I HAD A FAMILY DEPENDING ON ME TO GET BETTER AND MEND MY BROKEN SPIRIT. THIS FACILITY AND THE STAFF WERE MIRACLES PLACED IN MY PATH. I HAVE BEEN HEALED AND HAVE GONE FROM A SURVIVOR OF CHILD ABUSE TO A THRIVER. I COULDNT HAVE ASKED FOR A BETTER OR MORE SUITABLE PROGRAM TO MEND MY MIND THROUGH EMDR TRAUMA THERAPY AND FACILITATED GROUP SESSIONS. I AM PROUD TO BE AN ALUMNI OF SUCH A CARING AND PRESTIGIOUS PROGRAM.”
“I cannot say enough about this organization and the people who support it. I was in the PHP program and through thick and thin I was cared about and supported through each phase of my growth and development in recovery. I feel stronger and more hopeful today than ever before and looking forward to what the next chapter has to bring because of the work I did while here. Thanks SPRC!”
“This place is amazing!!! Definitely recommend SPRC to anyone struggling with substance abuse or mental health”
“Great house with wonderful staff who truly care. Great 12 step recovery. I've been through here and I can't thank them enough; the help and support I've gotten here is amazing.”
“I was so nervous and apprehensive to come here at first but I’m so glad I did now I don’t want to leave! I’ve learned al much and made so many connections here. Highly recommend!!”
“Great recovery program and I highly recommend it for your family or friends.”
“10/10 SPRC is a genuinely caring community. They do everything they can to help support us, I had a great experience here. Coming here I realized I’m not alone, I found my people, the people that get me and I get them. Some places can be more about the money and getting people in and out, but not here, they are about giving us our life back and I can say that they have helped me be able to get back on my feet when I thought it wasn’t possible.”
“If you are serious about wanting to make and be the change in your life, I highly recommend seeking help and guidance at Providence in Scottsdale, Arizona. Aside from the glorious living conditions, the men and women on staff show the upmost care and due respect to treat every individual with uniqueness and boldness. I appreciate and respect every individual who helped along this journey and will not forget those who spoke words of life into me when I was struggling. If you are lost and searching for the right treatment center or having difficulty making a decision, call and speak to the staff at Providence. They are not there to persuade or make the decision for you, instead they are there strictly to give those who are sick mentally, physically, and spiritually and provide them with the skills and environment to be able to open up and grow in these areas. Thank you Providence for the love and patience you exhibited towards me. You all were and will always be a huge part of the reason each day gets me closer and closer to reaching my full potential as a recovering mental addict. Much love, continue leading people down the path towards truth and freedom.”

“SPRC genuinely saved my life and I will forever be grateful for my experience at the center!! The entire staff (therapists, BHTs, the clinical director) is unlike any other place and truly, genuinely care about each client's recovery. The culture here is so welcoming and honestly makes recovery not only fulfilling but fun. Thank you for everything you've done for me and helping me find the will to live a healthy and happy life again :'). This will be something I carry with me forever. (Tyler's grief and loss class is one of the best groups also Denise's spirituality group ^-^ if you come here try checking out those groups!!!)”

“Scottsdale Providence Recovery Center has made a huge impact in my life. The team of therapists work together to create an individual experience for each client. They offer a variety of classes that teach tools to implement in everyday life. I found that the longer I stayed the more I learned. These people are real… they know that life happens and things have became serious for someone to enter the doors. Yet, they have a sense of humor and know how to balance life with laughter and fun. Thanks to the SPRC team, I have built a fun, healthy community. Thank you SPRC!”
“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.”
“Absolutely fantastic treatment center!! Great place for recovery, beautiful house and facility, and staff really really cares. Best treatment center I’ve been to!”
“Scottsdale Providence saved my life. As a lifelong drug addict I didn’t feel that there was much hope. I thought it was going to be awkward being a bit on the older side at 48, but neither preconceived notion was true. The staff at the residential house was warm and inviting. They reassessed and modified my medications which made me feel so much better. The staff immediately formed a treatment plan taking into account my goals. The group sessions are amazing and include everything from cutting edge therapy, traditional therapy, yoga, meditation, and daily check ins. The ono on one sessions are with highly skilled and compassionate therapists who use a variety of techniques. Once leaving residential and stepping down to PHP at the treatment center the amazing care continues. The group sessions are intense and very engaging. The one on one sessions continue to be facilitated by highly skilled therapists. Many of the staff are in recovery themselves. They treat everyone equally no matter what race, sect, political views, pronouns, religion, rich, poor, old, and young. I suffered a horrific family tragedy that occurred while I was still in treatment. The SPRC staff swooped in and offered me all the help and extra therapy I needed. They modified my treatment plan to account for this change. They even helped me get my affairs in order. And now that I’m a few days from completion, they have made sure everything I need to be successful is in place. From amazing facilities to having the very best staff, this place is second to none. It isn’t just a country club, they push you to work towards your goals and keep close eye on your progress. If you want to sit in a pool and have your hand held for 90 days, this is not the place. If you are serious about getting well and ready to put on the work, SPRC is the only choice in Phoenix.”
“Excellent experience. The staff was extremely knowledgeable & challenged my way of thinking in a productive way. Very grateful to have made the decision to choose Providence. The therapists don't co-sign any crap that I would try to tell myself about my addiction. This type of working culture is amazing to be in a client in. At first it's scary but if you stick with it you'll see why it's effective. Lastly, don't go to Providence if you aren't willing to work. If you plan on just taking up space then this isn't the treatment center for you.”
“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.”
