Mental Health
Depression, anxiety, trauma, and co-occurring disorders addressed through evidence-based therapeutic approaches.
Freedom from the combined challenges of mental health and substance use starts with integrated care delivered by a multidisciplinary team. Dual-diagnosis treatment addresses both conditions together to help you thrive across all dimensions of wellness and support lasting, fulfilling recovery. You deserve to see what is on the other side of this struggle.
Primary Mental Health
Modern mental health treatment for the challenges of real life; we are here with compassion and warmth to help you find your footing. We are fully dedicated to supporting you every step of the way with programs designed around you, backed by evidence-based approaches. You don't have to go through this alone.
Addiction Treatment
We have been where you are, we can show you a path forward. Addiction treatment focuses on helping you maintain abstinence, regain stability, and begin living the life you’ve always wanted. Getting sober is just the beginning.
When you are ready to seek out treatment, finding a trusted place you feel safe is important. We recognize this courageous first step. Scottsdale Providence Recovery Center has helped families nationwide find a new way of living and thriving. We're here when you're ready.
Scottsdale Providence Recovery Center builds comprehensive treatment programs designed to assist our clients in transforming their lives through a therapeutic journey of self-discovery, real-world experiences, skill building and relational repair. Guided by principles of authenticity, compassion and fellowship, we consider ourselves a healing community rather than a "facility". Providing a full continuum of care across Residential and Outpatient centers, our goal is for our clients to rewrite their stories, creating a new relationship with themselves and the world around them.


Walking through our doors welcomes you into a lively and welcoming culture of joyful and authentic recovery, no matter if it is your first time seeking help or your 10th time in treatment.
Different levels of care are available to match where you are in your recovery journey, whether you need intensive daily support or more flexible outpatient options. Our full continuum is intentionally designed to provide 90 days of healing and includes Inpatient-Residential, Partial Hospitalization (PHP), Intensive Outpatient (IOP), and Evening IOP programs, allowing you or your loved one to receive the right level of care at the right time.
“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.”

Designed by Clinical Founder Daniel Nichols, LCSW, our co-occurring treatment programming provides specialized care for clients who struggle with ongoing substance abuse alongside unresolved trauma, mood disorder or personality disorder. We address this complexity with an Integrated Health Model with Abstinence Focus which allows for sobriety to be established within a foundation of evidence-based clinical interventions, psychiatric care and resilience building.
A comprehensive range of proven therapeutic modalities are used to meet your unique needs. From trauma-focused treatments to behavioral therapies, evidence-based approaches are combined to address the challenges you are facing and support steady, long-term progress.
Rebuild essential daily living skills and establish healthy routines through purposeful, meaningful activities. Our occupational therapists work with you to restore independence in self-care, productivity, and leisure while developing coping strategies that support long-term recovery and help you reintegrate into work, family, and community life.
Overseen by Board-Certified Addiction Medicine Expert Dr. Steven Locnikar, substance use disorder treatment combines a holistic approach with medically supported detox, personalized treatment planning, and a positive, solution-focused recovery culture. Evidence-based therapies including 12-Step Facilitation help you address substance use patterns while also supporting your mental, physical, spiritual and emotional well-being in a structured, supportive setting focused on long-term sobriety.
Begin safely and comfortably with round-the-clock medical care through withdrawal.
Care built around your story, your substance use patterns, and your goals.
Evidence-based engagement with a proven framework, fellowship, and accountability.
A positive community that builds momentum toward lasting sobriety.
Physician-Led Care

“I couldn't say enough good things about Scottsdale Providence. I very truly believe this is the best place anyone could come to. The therapists are amazing, support staff is so helpful and everyone who comes here is truly a life long family. I never once second guessed my time spent in this program as every moment was so insightful and helpful. I would highly recommend this program over and over if you are serious about your health you will undoubtedly find everything you need and more here.”
“I highly recommend SPRC to anyone suffering and in need of either substance use or mental health treatment. They succeed with both issues as well as when they co-occur. The entire staff is supportive/wonderful and the co-owners care enough to facilitate their own groups and give clients their time when they need it. I appreciated that staff didn't tell me what I wanted to hear but rather what I needed to hear along my wellness journey. I am forever grateful and thankful.”
“Great center. Helped me alot. Grateful for this experience. Wonderful staff super kind and caring. Thanks a lot”
“I came in to Providence in February, I completed a 60 program. The staff here really cares about your recovery and is really friendly, welcoming. If you are looking for a recovery center, I highly recommend Providence. I created a fellowship and support group I would have never imagined. Thanks for everything Providence love you guys!!!!”
“I was so nervous and apprehensive to come here at first but I’m so glad I did now I don’t want to leave! I’ve learned al much and made so many connections here. Highly recommend!!”
“I never knew that there was so many resources in one place. The staff and techs have taught me how to live a happy and full life. I came in completely apathetic. I never thought I would be smiling again. I now have a renewed gratitude towards life and I no longer have a deadline on my life. I am 34 days free of self harm and going strong. They have helped me develop healthy coping skills and taught me how to successfully live independently.”
“I’ve spent many years struggling with addiction. I’ve been in and out of treatment my whole life, and this is literally the best treatment center I’ve ever been to! There’s no doubt in my mind that the staff here all care about my recovery, well being, and future.. they all go the extra mile to help. I’m so blessed to have discovered this program. And they don’t just focus on my recovery from drugs and alcohol. They have a team of highly trained therapists, that also care just as much, and bend over backwards to help.. SPRC ROCKS!”

“This is not an ordinary treatment center. The staff genuinely cares about you and the groups are top quality. There’s no perfect treatment facility, but this one comes pretty close. My time has been much better than other places I’ve gone to because the people here make you feel like you truly matter. I came into this place hopeless and feeling broken and they have supported me every step of the way. They pushed me at times, which was hard, but it has helped me grow in ways I never thought possible. I will forever be grateful that I chose Scottsdale Providence. I am a new person because of it.”
“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.”
“This place is amazing!!! Definitely recommend SPRC to anyone struggling with substance abuse or mental health”
“SPRC is a very loving and supportive program. It has given me hope and the tools to look forward to a happy and sober life. I would highly recommend coming here if you are looking for help.”
“SPRC was exactly what I needed at exactly the right time. The quality of care in all settings was unmatched. They worked with my family to get my in as soon as possible and upon arrival I was welcomed and felt confident in the treatment that I would receive. While all staff was great, I felt like I was paired with the perfect therapists for the treatment I needed. I would not hesitate to recommend this facility to family or friends in need.”
“If you are looking to make a change in your life for the better, there is no better place to come and get the help you need. All of the staff is educated, kind, and compassionate, and they truly care about their patients. The program is as solid as it gets and they set you up for success.”

“I enjoyed most aspects of SPRC. I really enjoyed finger painting and yoga. Playing silly games with my peers. Staying up late at night building a pillow fort and giggling the night away with my roommate. The recovery stuff was okay I guess, a little boring to be honest. If I have a crippling relapse which burns my life to the ground I will sure to come back :)”
