“Great center. Helped me alot. Grateful for this experience. Wonderful staff super kind and caring. Thanks a lot”
“I am beyond grateful that the stars aligned and I landed at Scottsdale Providence. God truly led me here. As someone that has been to inpatient multiple times I can confidently speak to the beauty and quality of this program. It is beyond compare to others treatment centers that I've received care at. The residential center is amazing. PHP program is much more than anything offered at other centers. The groups are detailed and oriented to self exploration and healing. Focusing on DBT, CBT, Inner Chikd, and Trauma work. I also received psychotherapy and trauma therapy sessions weekly. The therapists are available to clients more if needed. This center will always hold a special place in my heart and I am looking forward to participating in their alumni activities. I have made many lifelong friendships at Scottsdale Providence Recovery Center.”
“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 is a wonderful program and I would recommend it to anyone dealing with substance use or mental health issues. The team cares greatly about their clients and ensures a safe place to heal. Thank you SPRC for all the love, support, and hope you have provided me!”
“Scottsdale Providence center has been a great experience to me. It's helped me shape my life to become an outstanding person and understand me as a person, the staff here has been amazing and truly helpful to my recovery for addition and mental health. In the beginning I was very hesitant to stay but I stuck it out and I will say it was worth it bc I learn skills everyday to help begin to build my future. They helped me with financial problems and legal problems, they truly listen to me and I feel heard. Housing with the women's house has truly been a great experience for me to be able to adult and learn how to live with other people who have the same or similar struggles as I do.”
“This place saved my life. I came in completely lost and full of fear. Dan Shawn Drew were especially helpful in figuring out what I need to focus on moving forward. I would send my family here any time. This place is family.”
“I came into this place absolutely lost and hopeless. This place showed me the love and grace i needed to get back on my feet and on track to living a healthy successful life. A huge Thank you to the staff and everything you have all done for me if you suffer from mental disorders/substance abuse this is the place to go for help, couldn’t have asked for a better experience”
