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.
“My time at SPRC has been really great. I have been in treatment centers before, and I can honestly say that along with my own willingness the staff here has helped me to get farther along in my recovery journey than I ever have before. The people here are truly saving lives and teaching recovery in such a way that it is achievable.”
“pretty chill place overall- most of the staff are super nice, nichole was my primary therapist and she’s awesome. this place is super flexible and understanding so i appreciate that. the house is nice and the groups are helpful!! im sitting with lauren (she’s awesome so be nice to her)”
“The level of care I received was unmatched. I could not have asked for better staffing or standards and they saved me from both my addiction and myself. In a way, they saved my life and I will forever be appreciative.”
“I've always had underlying trauma and mental health issues that I never dealt with and didn't know or understand how to comprehend it. I was at a very low point in my life and didn't know what else to do. That's when I was recommended to take a look into recovery programs and centers. I called around a few places and none was as quick as Scottsdale Providence to reach back out in a desperate time of need. Within minutes I was contacted by Taliah and was ask if I'm genuinely doing okay and if she can be of any services. That's when I knew that this was potential the place for me to get my life back on track. She took me step by step of how everything was going to happen and once I get to the center they will help me with anything that may come along with this journey. Once I got to the center I was greeted by multiple people and felt real human connection by each of the staff members here. Scottsdale Providence has taught me alot of valuable skills and lessons while being here. The best thing I got out from Scottsdale Providence was that my pain or my trauma did not have to go unnoticed and what I went through matters. That no matter what I'm never alone. So I will always be grateful for this place and the path I have going forward because of them 🤍”
“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.”
“Going into treatment was a difficult and terrifying thing. It was all uncharted territory. I walked into SPRC having already decided that this was going to be my last big effort in my recovery. I moved into the house for 3 months and slowly but surely I started getting my feet back under me. I can confidently say that this was the most difficult AND rewarding thing I have accomplished. I never thought I’d be able to say that my spark and passions have returned but they have come in full force. The group and individual sessions are very informative. It really is care tailored to you. Kyle said something to me that I will never forget on my second day there. I was sitting in front of a cabinet that he needed to get into. I apologized for being in the way and he said to me “you don’t need to apologize for taking up space”. That was the first of many moments that were monumental in my healing. Cannot recommend enough!! Give SPRC a call!!”
“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 has been nothing short of amazing. I've been to previous treatment centers and the significance in difference to this one is substantial. The clinical staff is truly caring and compassionate about the clients, group therapy, and the material that is provided to those in such an ultra sensitive situation. The clinic and client houses far exceed my expectations as they are contemporary and tidy. My personal experience as a 26 year old male struggling from opiate addiction has been hopeless in the past before entering this treatment facility. But I have found such a huge turning point for myself by learning new coping skills and techniques to better understand, my substance abuse, PTSD, and mental health needs. My family has been given the opportunity to be apart of this journey as well and have seen such a change in myself because the work I've done here. Hope has been restored and I am safe knowing that I have the ability to move forward with confidence that I can stay sober another day because of the love and care SPRC has given me. They've given me the chance to look deep within myself and show myself that I am worth staying sober and loving myself. Thanks SPRC!”

“Absolutely Life changing experience. Been to many treatment centers and by far this one takes the cake. Much love”
“The house and facilities are awesome and the staff really does care about every client. I have been to a lot of other treatment centers and scottsdale providence has been the best by far! This place saved my life and I would highly recommend coming here if your struggling with addiction or mental health issues.”
“Scottsdale Providence has truly separated themselves from other treatment centers by their quality of care, ethics and the genuine unconditional love and support from each staff member. I came in tired,defeated,broken in so many ways ,facing life challenges and completely afraid to face recovery and life alone. The staff held my hand every step of the way and guided me into a direction to help rebuild my life sober. The staff goes to great lengths to support you in anyway they can and their expertise shines through the individual and group sessions. This facility has been life changing and I would recommend this place to anyone who needs help and wants to find their path to sobriety. Also, Nicole (case manager)helped me with all my personal issues that had been overwhelming me.Forever grateful!”
“Having been to numerous treatment centers over the past decade, I’ve never experienced anything like what Providence was able to offer. Their individualized level of care is superior to any other program. They truly care about each and every person that walks through their door. Even when I was at my worst they welcomed me back with open arms, twice, and provided me with the care necessary to recover. Their admissions coordinators, support staff, and clinical team are exceptional. This place truly saved my life. I can’t thank them enough for the miracle they were able to provide me. If you or any loved one are suffering, don’t think twice about contacting SPRC.”
“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!!!”
“Staff is very knowledgeable in all aspects also very compassionate about my sobriety and all that it entails. I learned a lot about myself and why I am like I am.also they do know how to give you some tough love when needed and won't just sugar coat things.this place in my humble opinion has one of the highest success rates probably in the country. I love Providence”
