“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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Scottsdale Providence has provided me with a safe and supportive space to work on my mental health. The staff is friendly and accommodating. The groups and material are focused, informative, and for me, very enlightening. I feel confident in transitioning out knowing that I now have the skills and resources to live a healthy and balanced life. I also leave knowing that I will always have a support system in the staff and fellow alumni from SPRC.”
“I have worked with Scottsdale Providence and its clients for years. Their dedication to client care and their clinical acumen has been nothing less than exceptional. Providence has a heavy focus on individualizing treatment to clients' needs rather than pushing every client through the same curriculum. It is obvious from working with their therapists that they genuinely care about people lives and outcomes. This is also apparent in their dedication to aftercare planning. I could not recommend Scottsdale Providence more highly.”
“I attended SPRC for both sober living and intensive out patient therapy (IOP). The experience was amazing start to finish. The entire team is highly trained in both addiction and mental health counseling. This is a must use treatment center if your battling addiction or mental health issues.”
“Excellent Program. Staff are awesome. Whatever your need. They will help.”
