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.
“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”
“The staff here is top notch! Everything was very well organized from the group sessions to individual sessions. The treatment is individualized to you so it’s not a cookie cutter program which I liked. Also a great space located in Scottsdale”
“Scottsdale Providence has changed my life in every aspect. I came in miserable and upset with every part of my life and I leave feeling confident and excited to put the skills I have learned here to work. They treat each person individually based on their needs and I always felt safe to be open and honest. I would recommend this experience to anyone struggling with addiction or mental health issues. Life can get better if you reach out and be honest.”
“I came into SPRC extremely broken and hopeless. I didn’t even want to believe I was an addict, but through the extremely detailed and informational groups and the 12 steps of C.A., I quickly realized I had more than just my mental health to work on. Dan and Shawn may be super blunt and straightforward and that’s not for everyone, but it’s always from a place of love and compassion. All of the staff and therapists actively work with you to figure out the best course of treatment and are very flexible as the program goes on. This was my third time in rehab and absolutely the most beneficial and lifesaving one. If you are at your lowest of lows and are desperately willing to better your life, Scottsdale Providence is the place to go.”
“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!”
“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.”
“I absolutely love this place they saved my life. Great bhts amazing php with caring and kind clinitions that work with you every step of the way on your road to becoming a healthy and functional member of society.”
“I had a really great experience here. The staff was great. They genuinely cared about the patients. They have so much love and patience. They helped me with knowing that these feelings won’t last forever. And reminded me of grounding techniques that I can use to help calm myself down. The therapists are amazing, especially Jillian and Denise. They really know their stuff and are easy to build a rapport with. They helped me learn skills to help with emotional regulation. Jillian made getting through EMDR possible with time. I felt so safe with Jillian. I wish she could come back to Virginia with me.”
