Stories of Hope & Recovery

“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.”
“Scottsdale Providence has changed my life, I'm a completely new person thanks to the program. The staff and therapists are truly phenomenal and they truly want what's best for you and will help you with anything you need. The level of care is truly amazing. do not hesitate to come here whether it be for mental health, or substance abuse, you WILL get the help you need! I love this place dearly and will never forget the experiences I've had here. I finally feel like I have a handle on my life and hope for my future. From the deepest part of my soul, Thank you Scottdale Providence.”
“I really liked Scottsdale Providence and the care that they provided for me. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly and were always transparent in the treatment options and care. I would recommend this place to anyone!”
“SPRC has an excellent staff which focuses on multiple facets of treatment. They are very attentive to individual needs, not just another number. The living facility is top notch. Don't go there if you are looking for an easy way out. They won't put up with your BS!”
“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.”
“Working with Kyle, Stephanie and Teslaya was a 5-star experience. These people really care about their patients. Their PHP program is excellent.”
“If you are serious about getting help with your mental health and/or sobriety this is THE PLACE!!! SPRC has changed my life and given me everything that I need in my mental health recovery, and I am so grateful that I will be continuing my care with them for years to come. I was skeptical about seeking treatment for myself after seeing family members shuffled around and medicated to collect a copay and to bill insurance. SPRC treats you like an individual and will go above and beyond to get you the help that you need! They do everything with love and sometimes it’s tough love, but true healing and serious treatment needs that! The community that has been built is unlike any other as well! Come to get healthy, and stay for the love and support!!!”
“Chosing a recovery center is a life-changing decision. After looking at multiple options, I chose SPRC because,initially, they made me feel the most comfortable. There were no sales tactics or unnecessary pressure. They provided the information requested and let me make the decision. While the facilities are outstanding, it is the staff that truly made this a great experience. From intake through discharge, the SPRC team made me feel comfortable and acknowledged as they guided me through the recovery process. Looking ahead, I am excited to be plugged into the SPRC sober network and support system, which will be crucial to my continuing sobriety & success.”

“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.”
“Attending treatment at Scottsdale Providence Recovery Center has been an excellent experience for me, from start to finish. I was set up with an intake appointment which was very well-organized, quick, and allowed me to be admitted to the program immediately. The jitters of being the 'new guy' in a group of my peers went away quickly as the other patients and staff made me feel welcomed on my first day. COVID struck and things swapped over to virtual meetings. This, however, did not decrease the level of care and communication from the staff. The groups also thrived with solid direction from counselors, and active participation from the patients. The groups stayed connected after session with active conversation and assistance through WhatsApp. Alex, Kara, and Brittany directed our groups with organized exercises, helpful open discussion, and guest speakers. I still attend an IOP session each week even though I have completed the program. I really enjoy hearing from the patients and continuing to work with staff. I have enjoyed my time at Scottsdale Providence and would recommend their treatment program to anyone looking for assistance with addiction and/or mental health issues.”
“Scottsdale programs had saved my life in the following ways. They provided me with coping skills to handle stressful situations. I was someone who was broken in many different ways a team of specialist who never gave up on me. There are many words that I can’t even describe to thank them For the services who are dedicated and provided for me. My family got their daughter back.”
“Providence is truly the best place to recover from mental health issues and/or substance abuse. Every single staff member really cares about helping people. None of them are in it for the money. I can't thank them enough. They saved my life. I stayed 90 days in their supportive housing and it's the best thing I've ever done for myself.”
“Had an excellent experience and outcome. Staff was incredibly caring and invested in my recovery. All staff seemed to love helping people and were happy to be there for me. Houses are beautiful and comfortable and the facility is clean, modern and well taken care of. Felt like a family.”
“Before I came to providence I was broken with nothing and knowwhere to go. I called them and they took me in right away with nothing to my name. No recovery center dose what these people do no recovery center cares like this one does. I will forever be greatful for this place for giving a second chance at a new life! If you need help please come here.”
“Absolutely saved my life. Compassionate staff, great therapists, and I loved that they had a schedule for their groups. I’ve been to other centers before but this one really put me on the right path.”
“Scottsdale Providence Recovery - saved my life getting me through the hardest times. The team never gave up and I’m grateful. I have to hand it to Lauren Younger my case manager who fought tooth and nail with things like my Short Term Disability, Legal and anything that came her way.”
