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.

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.

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.
“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.”

“Great therapists, care and environment. I recommend for anyone trying to recover.”
“SPRC staff truly cares about their clients and it shows. They devote countless hours each day to giving us the care and help we need. They create a safe environment for all, making sure each person knows they’re welcomed there; SPRC is a family. And the miracle is real.”
“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 saved my life, amazing staff that care deeply about their clinets. They helped me with my recovery and supported me in everyway they could. Thank you Scottsdale Providence.”
“Five Star Review. Scottsdale Providence Recovery Center is an all encompassing treatment center that caters to the needs of each and every individual. The therapists here express true concern for their patients and have the experience necessary to understand and relate to our needs. The knowledge and wisdom imparted on me by the staff in tools of recovery has equipped me with a spiritually fit armor. Today, I am filled with Hope, Faith and Courage to succeed in all aspects of my life. I have made significant progress spiritually, mentally and physically. SPRC saved my life and I am forever indebted for this fulfilling experience. Thank You to all the staff and patients alike!!”
“Scottsdale Providence has changed my life for the better. I was a bit skeptical before I came in since I have gone to rehab before, but the difference between the first time and now are like night and day. The staff is highly trained and the complete opposite of pompousity. The BHTs and clinical staff are on the same level as everyone and I have found a family here. There are a variety of AA/CA meetings to attend and mental health meetings as well. I came in as dual diagnosis (mental health & substance abuse) and they have gone above and beyond with meeting my needs and showing me that sobriety and self-care is the pinnacle of a healthy, fulfilling life. I am excited to become apart of the alumni program so I am able to continue my journey and keep in touch with the people who have truly touched my life. I am eternally grateful to have given rehab a second chance and found a program that meets my needs and exceeds any expectations. I would highly recommend Scottsdale Providence to anyone needing help with substance abuse and/or mental health. We all come from different backgrounds and phases of life but have always been able to support and grow with each other. Thank you SPRC for giving me hope and faith again.”

“There are few times in life, and even fewer in recovery programs when a glowing review is merited. In this case, we are experts. There is nothing to brag about, but we have decades of experience supporting a family member through substance use dependence and mental health issues. Scottsdale Providence was the best experience we have ever had. There are several reasons this facility stands out. Compassion- Every person I spoke with cared about the day-to-day and the outcome. It was uncanny. One can feign "care," but it is quickly obvious. The staff at SP invested as if they were supporting a member of their own family. Engagement - Out-of-the-box thinking and solutions- rather than the usual fixed and firm plans. Recovery is not one size fits all! A focus on recovery, not money- This was clear, in the staff's words but most significantly in their actions. Repeatedly, I saw actions/recommendations for my family member that offered little or no return for the program. Respect- The staff learns clients and honors "where they are at." Dignity is everything in these circumstances, and my family member felt heard. Impeccable communication- From the first contact through the transition. Outrageously special and valuable. SP is a fantastic program with a healthy house and incredible staff. This was a one-of-a-kind experience for our family. I only wish they offered longer-term housing. Do not hesitate to enlist their support; you will find relief, hope, and a world of possibilities.”
“This program is excellent! 5 stars They really worked with me, honestly and fairly handling my trauma and diagnosis.”
“My time at SPRC was amazing! The family I made there will be a huge part of my growth and my life forever! Highly recommend.”
“Scottsdale Providence is an incredible place. They helped me get clean, sober, and happy while providing a safe comfortable place to do so. All the staff and therapist truly care about your recovery and many of them have been through recovery themselves. They are extremely knowledgeable and compassionate. And the fellowship and community here is one of a kind. The program helped me address the root cause of my addiction and gave me the tools to live a fulfilling life. They even set me up with an aftercare plan to maintain my sobriety. I would really recommend SPRC to anyone struggling with mental health or addiction!”
“SPRC is beyond what I hoped it would be. This place literally saved my life. The staff are so helpful and caring. There are so many good things I can say about them. Whether it’s mental health or substance abuse the staff in this program help you with the necessary skills to not only improve your life, but to thrive. Thank you SPRC!!”
“Scottsdale Providence is the most well-rounded, thorough, and caring treatment center available. They have such a wide variety of tools and experienced staff to handle a multitude of problems. Their staff places the utmost importance on clients' recovery, and use their experience and different backgrounds to tackle whatever problem you may be facing and relate with you on a personal level. I came into this program struggling in every aspect of my life, battling substance abuse for many years. They helped me find a solution to a problem that I was previously incapable of combating, have helped me mitigate the problems I created for myself, and helped me rebuild my life from the ground up. I would highly recommend this treatment center to anyone struggling with substance abuse or mental health. They are exceptional at what they do!”
“it was a great environment! all the staff are wonderful & super supportive. i felt heard & seen & i was provided with whatever i needed.”
“Scottsdale Providence had a huge impact on the wellbeing of my mental health. They have BHT’s, clinical staff, doctors, and case managers at every level of care with a deep working knowledge on mental health and substance abuse disorders. Beyond being a health care facility, they care for each of their patients and present them with healthy challenge towards their old ways of thinking and living. Two weeks after my discharge, clinical staff and BHT’s are still looking after my wellness and encouraging me from afar. I highly recommend Scottsdale Providence. The housing is beautiful, the staff deeply cares, and the experience is life-changing.”
