“Scottsdale Providence is a great combination of terrific treatment curriculum, phenomenal therapists and an entire staff who genuinely care about clients’ best interest. 10/10 would recommend to anyone experiencing struggles with addiction and mental health. You can actually change your life for the better here.”
“This Review is for Scottsdale Providence Recovery Center, In patient program. The female house is beautiful, spacious, safe, well managed and keeps you accountable. From chores to cooking - staying in the house aids you with important life & interpersonal skills. The scope of The Clinical Director and the staffs understanding of this field is profound. They handle life in the present and only looks’s ahead. Scottsdale Providence provides empathy, a sophisticated set of interpersonal skills, acts with a sense of urgency, constructive self-insights and encouragement. The staff helped me build a structured treatment plan to initiate helpful growth, strength and a realistic recovery. Although the action is up to you, the therapists equip you with a foundation full Of resources to build upon. They work on your inner strengths and challenge your weaknesses. They offer constructive feedback and are quick to tell you what you need to hear - not what you want to hear. The staff overall truly have your best interest at heart and want to see you succeed. They provided me with a sense of care and safety in being vulnerable. The staff is efficient in they’re approach and steadfast to being consistent & professional. Thus far, treatment here has been a remarkably empowering and fortifying experience. They’re recognition and approach have pulled me up from darkness into an optimistic state. Going to treatment here has given me hope, direction, and the opportunity to identify what I need to do to live a sober life. Recovery is possible (if you want to be sober) and being a client here has given me that chance. Scottsdale Providence has offered me a life-changing experience; that will put me back on the path to a positive, healthy, and sober life I so dearly have in front of me. In other words, I strongly recommend this treatment center if you’re ready to get sober, honest and are willing to do the work.”

“Staff was very helpful and skilled in their fields, would recommend to anyone in need of sobriety.”
““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.”
“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.”
“SPRC changed my life completely! The staff is incredibly caring and they really do want to help people not only get sober but actually recover. I’ve been to treatment centers before and they just wanted my money. This place isn’t like that and it’s worth every penny. As scared as I was to enter treatment again, I’m so glad I did and I would highly recommend this center for anyone struggling with addiction and/or mental health!”
“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.”
“Scottsdale Providence has had a huge impact on my recovery process. After experiencing treatment at two other facilities over the last few years I can truly appreciate SPRC for what they have to offer and just how well they do it. The treatment offered is excellent for both substance-abuse and mental health struggles. The staff (starting with the hands on business owners who are top notch therapists) are extremely professional and knowledgeable, and it is clear that they truly care for all the clients. I believe their goal is the long term recovery of the patients, and is not driven by the almighty dollar or the bottom line like every other treatment facility I have experienced . The clients are treated with true compassion and dignity. Scottsdale Providence has taught me a design for living that goes far beyond just staying sober. My life today has improved exponentially since my experience there, and I do not hesitate to recommend this place to anyone seeking a solution to their battle with substance abuse or mental health.”
“I absolutely loved my experience at Scottsdale Providence and I would highly recommend it to anyone struggling with substance abuse and/or mental health. The staff are extremely kind and understanding. The group of clients can vary but, in my experience, they were energetic, open, willing, and uplifting. I loved how the treatment was not just focused on therapy, but included more wholistic factors such as nutrition, physical health, and community. This was the best experience I could ever have asked for.”
“Working with Kyle, Stephanie and Teslaya was a 5-star experience. These people really care about their patients. Their PHP program is excellent.”
“Staff was very helpful and skilled in their fields, would recommend to anyone in need of sobriety.”
