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.
“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.”
“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.”
“If you're a parent or family member who needs to get support for a loved one with a mental health condition and/or substance abuse issue, this is the place that will save their life and give them life. My family member is alive and well because of SPRC. It's especially hard to find centers that can treat acute/complex mental health issues, but SPRC has a program that works.”
“This place is a very special and professional place to be at if your really needing help and wanting to stay sober! the staff here is very kind and professional I will recommend this to anyone I know that is looking to for a residential treatment center...Love you guys.”
“SPRC has an amazing program that truly saves lives. With an experienced staff that cares and caters to every clients needs it is a place of healing. I would highly recommend this place for anyone struggling with mental health or substance abuse. Even though I have finished their program I continue to come back and further my personal growth with the tremendous staff!”
“This has been one of the most incredible experiences of my entire life. I never believed in myself or my ability to recover before coming here. I was truly challenged and enjoyed myself at the same time. The people I got to know and work with were a true pleasure. I am very grateful to all the staff for making the experience enjoyable and memorable. I don't think I would have ever gotten the same level of care anywhere else. I would highly recommend SPRC to anyone looking to work on themselves. If you need some time to work on yourself and are looking for the best possible help you could ever get, give this place a shot.”
“Scottsdale Providence Recovery Center was excellent! Every member of the staff was kind, supportive, and showed that they truly cared about my recovery. They fostered an amazing culture. The facilities were beautiful and peaceful. The programming was very informative, helpful and relevant. I was very pleased with the therapists both in groups and the individual therapy sessions. I have been to other treatment centers and SPRC is by far the best.”
“I highly recommend the program at Providence! The co-owners are involved in the daily treatment groups and all staff is professional yet laid back. The housing accommodations are top notch. Highly recommend”

“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.”
“SPRC is a place of beauty and growth i highly recommend this place for everyone who is struggling”
“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!”
“I came to Scottsdale Province Recovery Center from Tennessee. The therapy and attention to the clients needs are nothing but amazing. I learned more about myself here than I ever have. If you are in need for help with mental health or substance abuse I highly recommend this place. Thank you SPRC for giving me my life back, I will be forever grateful to you all.”
“Scottsdale Providence is a thoroughly well put together treatment center, with staff who either are in recovery themselves with long time sober, or very knowledgeable of the disease of addiction and how to treat it. They cultivate a family environment at the house through inpatient, having clients prepare dinners for each other on a nightly basis, going on scheduled outings on the weekend, and much more. They also do a wonderful job of helping the recovering addict receive a conducive introduction into sobriety, taking you to meetings on a nightly basis while also incorporating H&I and a Big Book Study. They also make sure to keep ties with clients who graduate the program, always keeping an open door and offering counseling free of charge. I owe a great deal to SPRC, and each and every one of the staff. Shouts to Kacey, Dan, Shawn, AP$, and all the other family.”
“I completed 110 days at SPRC last year following a pretty severe mental health breakdown. The staff were compassionate and willing to work with my special circumstances to create a customized care plan. I received top-notch therapy and psychiatric care, medication management, group treatment, and a variety of wellness education including yoga and acupuncture. Scottsdale Providence is truly a place of healing and personal exploration, and has provided me with the tools and resources to live a healthy and balanced life full of support and hope. I now take advantage of the alumni program for maintenance and to keep connected with the staff, who are both invested and invaluable in my recovery. I would recommend this program to anyone struggling with depression, anxiety, and trauma. SPRC saved my life!”
