“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.”
“My time at SPRC was incredible! It helped me understand who I am and brought me back to life. The staff is absolutely phenomenal. They provide a great sense of community and wherever you turn there is always someone that can help you with your needs. From group sessions to individual ones, you are always heard. It is a safe environment where all can connect on the same level. I would recommended SPRC to anyone I know who is struggling in their daily lives!”
“Scottsdale Providence is the most well-rounded, thorough, and caring treatment center available. They have such a wide variety of tools and experienced staff to handle a multitude of problems. Their staff places the utmost importance on clients' recovery, and use their experience and different backgrounds to tackle whatever problem you may be facing and relate with you on a personal level. I came into this program struggling in every aspect of my life, battling substance abuse for many years. They helped me find a solution to a problem that I was previously incapable of combating, have helped me mitigate the problems I created for myself, and helped me rebuild my life from the ground up. I would highly recommend this treatment center to anyone struggling with substance abuse or mental health. They are exceptional at what they do!”
“Went in for mental health treatment and PTSD treatment. Love the staff and the program. I highly recommend them.”
“No one goes to treatment because life is perfect and their emotional, spiritual, and physical well-being are at their peak. I never thought I’d need treatment for depression, anxiety, and substance abuse. But, I feel tremendously lucky to have found the help I needed with the most caring, and qualified staff one could ever ask for. I came in broken, depressed, and having lost the will to live. After 90 days, I’m leaving with sobriety, hope, gratitude and the tools I need to navigate through life and manage my depression and anxiety. Every staff member at Scottsdale Providence is compassionate and professional. I always felt they sincerely cared about my future and well-being. While I never thought I’d be in a treatment center for mental health and substance abuse, I’m forever grateful I was able to find SPRC. They ALWAYS looked after my best interest. And, I received help for my trauma, PTSD, anxiety, substance abuse, and depression. Whether you’re looking for help for yourself or a loved one, Scottsdale Providence can help for dual diagnoses. We all deserve help, and we all deserve happiness.”
“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.”
