“My time at SPRC changed my life. I would recommend anyone with a substance use or mental health concern to consider SPRC for their treatment needs. Many places claim to be “dual diagnosis” but SPRC is the first one to truly walk the walk.”
“Scottsdales Providence Recovery Center saved my life. I have a new lease on life along with the tools to use moving forward. The staff is professional and compassionate. I will be forever grateful for my time here!”
“SPRC has an excellent staff which focuses on multiple facets of treatment. They are very attentive to individual needs, not just another number. The living facility is top notch. Don't go there if you are looking for an easy way out. They won't put up with your BS!”
“Extremely grateful for the care and support of the staff at SPRC as my husband went through his recovery. Special mention for his caseworker Lauren, who went above and beyond to assist him and our family.”
“I am so grateful for the great staff at Scottsdale Providence Recovery. Remarkable people, from the person at the front desk to the therapists. Dan and Shawn are amazing. They are extremely knowledgeable, reliable and deeply passionate about their jobs. Their brutal honesty about who they are and their ability to be honest with the clients clearly shows their dedication to this program. Scottsdale Providence feels like home.”
“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.”
“scottsdale providence recovery center is life changing. I’m super grateful for all the support i’ve gotten here. I recommend this place to anyone and everyone.”
“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 was at my wits end with anxiety, panic attacks and agoraphobia. I wanted more out of life. Scottsdale Providence Recovery Center helped me to get my life back. I didn't have any substance abuse problems, but I learned along the way that for those suffering substance abuse, under the substance the other people were hurting just like me: depression, anxiety, past trauma, etc. Alex was extremely helpful and spent a lot of time with me before I even entered the program - I was scared to be left there alone (because of my agoraphobia) and he helped me take the giant leap of actually going into the program. He was very supportive and I am very thankful he didn't give up on me. Keren, one of the therapist there was the best therapist I have ever had! Her knowledge of trauma and her caring personality are above and beyond. This wasn't your superficial therapy - this was deep and meaningful from someone who takes the time to get to know YOU! Through the daily classes, you get to know all of the therapist there, and all of them are extremely knowledgeable, helpful and caring. This place definitely gives you the tools to 'do life' again with the right balance. I am so thankful that they are right here in town and I was able to find them. By finding them, they helped me find myself. Prior to going in I couldn't stay at work all work, I was having about 3 meltdowns a day, taking way too much anxiety medication and was terrified of being left alone. When I left Providence, I was able to return to work and actually focus, I was able to venture out into life by myself again, I had reduced my anxiety medication to a fourth of what I took going in (and it is still decreasing), and I have some peace in my life now. I was a prisoner in my own head and they helped me escape. Thank you SPRC. I am very grateful for your support!”
“This program is excellent! 5 stars They really worked with me, honestly and fairly handling my trauma and diagnosis.”
“Scottsdale Providence is the best treatment center in the country. Been to several, including three in Malibu.”
“I had a great time at sprc the staff is wonderful and super helpful and all my needs were met”
“I came to SPRC at my absolute lowest. The level of case management, groups available, and individual therapy is miles above anywhere else I’ve tried. However, you need to be willing to accept the help, work on yourself, and put in the work. As an alcoholic who couldn’t think of one redeeming quality in myself 3 months ago, I recommend SPRC to anyone looking for help whether you’re struggling with substances or mental health problems. This isn’t a place to rest or solve all your problems, but they set you up for success. Shout out Lauren in case management for running the ship and Caitlin for helping me navigate into a new life.”
“This place saved my life! This staff was incredible and it offered a ton of different treatment styles and plans. Would recommend to anybody.”

“I’ve been to a mental health hospital every month for the last several. This place was a really great different environment. Very fancy. It helped me learn a lot of skills. And swearing is perfectly normal at the facility.”
