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.
“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.”
“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!”
“Opportunity to meet people from all walks of life. In addition, the staff did not coddle you. They brought you into your natural raw in order to face everything from the time of diagnosis recovery and follow up.”
“this place is magical and changed my life i now have come to a better understanding of sobriety since this is my 3rd time around in a treatment and all the staff has given me a better aspect of sobriety and a new life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“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!”
“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”

“Best program in arizona. Staff members actually know what they are talking about, they are smart and will tell you things straight up without sugar coating anything.”
“SPRC is a supportive and caring community that I am very proud to be apart of. They have taught me new ways to reshape my mentality and use new tools I have learned to continue my recovery in terms for a better future. All staff members have such insightful messages and lessons that are beneficial for a positive life and I’m thankful for everyone who has helped me across my journey”
“Good staff and good programming. I would recommend this place if ur looking into getting help.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“This place has changed the trajectory of my life and I would recommend it to anyone struggling with substance abuse or mental health. The staff and clinical team genuinely care about each client. Their approach to treatment is unique and unlike any other program, but it is highly effective. Many Clients that are alumni of this program come back to visit and are proof that this program not only works but transforms lives. I am so grateful for everyone I’ve met here, it’s an amazing community & I will forever cherish this place.”
