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.

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.”

“All the staff was well informed and very helpful. The therapists were great, as well as support staff. I would recommend SPRC for anyone seeking relief from addiction. Mike W.”
“SPRC was a wonderful experience. I did not have high hopes or expectations when I started but their staff was so welcoming and engaging it made the entire process worthwhile. I am very happy that I made the decision to enter their program and feel they have provided the tools for success. They are very encouraging and engaging.”
“Went in for mental health treatment and PTSD treatment. Love the staff and the program. I highly recommend them.”
“Great staff!! Amazing recovery center!! They actually care about the patients!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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 is really amazing. They helped me deal with a lot of stuff. I had a lot of trauma and they helped through everything. If you have addiction problems this is the place to go to. Thank 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!”
““Are you living or simply persisting?” was something I was asked when I called, wondering if I needed help. I can confidently say that SPRC teaches you how to create for yourself a life worth living: to build for yourself a bucket of skills that allow you to feel like you can keep going. The therapists are like your sherpas: they will show you the way up the mountain while it is up to you to make the journey yourself. Every single person in that building cares about you. From Kassie at the front desk when you walk in, to Freddy for your intake, to Ciara, Sabrina, Denise, Jackie, Sara, Tyler, Jillian, Alex, Kena, Mark, Sadie— and all the other therapists, behavioral health technicians, and staff. Every single person there will take time out of their day to talk to you, to answer a thousand questions and a thousand more. They will know you by name, and greet you with familarity. Past the staff? This is also true of the community of both other clients sitting alongside you and alumni. You are heard, and past that, you are understood. Nothing you say will go without someone else relating to it, empathizing, and being there for you. If you are looking for a community of people who remember you, and you them— this is the place. Residential, PHP Housing, PHP outpatient, IOP, or OP level—everyone matters. You are heard. You are understood. You are getting your life back: it is an honor and a privilege to be able to say that I did it here. To call myself an alumni of this community. If I had to go back and make the choice again, I would choose SPRC every single time.”
“I usually don’t write reviews, but they deserve this one. Before I came into SPRC I was completely lost. I’d been looking all over the internet to try and find the best treatment center for my mental state. I was very hesitant on going anywhere but I knew I needed help. I called and talked to Talia and she was wicked nice and helpful. She was so helpful that I thought there was some kind of “catch”. I didn’t know why someone wanted to help me so much, I wasn’t used to that. I almost didn’t come in because I thought it was too good to be true. Well I’m happy I did because this place changed my life for the better. I’ve learned so much from the staff and other clients there as well. This place feels like my 2nd family and that’s weird for me to say because before coming here, all I did was isolate. I honestly believe that SPRC saved my life and I’ve seen them save plenty of others as well. Just make sure you’re willing to accept change because you HAVE to put the effort in to help yourself. They give you the tools to better yourself but you need to want the change.”
“Scottsdale Providence has been the most life changing and life saving opportunity, that I couldn’t be more grateful for! They’re so supportive and know what they’re doing to help you get back to yourself and your health. The connections I’ve made here are ones I will share for a life time! 100/100 recommend starting in your recovery with Scottsdale Providence. The staff is amazing and so knowledgeable about what you need and what it takes to help everyone who comes through here individually. It’s not just a clinic or a recovery center, it’s a family and they actually care about you here. Absolutely loved my time here, and I couldn’t be more thankful for everyone.”

“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.”
“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.”
“Excellent experience. The staff was extremely knowledgeable & challenged my way of thinking in a productive way. Very grateful to have made the decision to choose Providence. The therapists don't co-sign any crap that I would try to tell myself about my addiction. This type of working culture is amazing to be in a client in. At first it's scary but if you stick with it you'll see why it's effective. Lastly, don't go to Providence if you aren't willing to work. If you plan on just taking up space then this isn't the treatment center for you.”
