Successful Recovery at Scottsdale Providence
Hear from clients and families who found structure, connection, and clinical support through Scottsdale Providence.
“Scottsdale Providence Recovery - saved my life getting me through the hardest times. The team never gave up and I’m grateful. I have to hand it to Lauren Younger my case manager who fought tooth and nail with things like my Short Term Disability, Legal and anything that came her way.”
“I attended providence for substance abuse. The staff was amazing and I got the 1 on 1 therapy that I needed. I’ve been to several other treatment centers and this is by far the best one I’ve attended. Providence has provided me with the necessary tools to continue living a happy and substance free life.”
“Scottsdale Providence is amazing! The staff genuinely cares and does fantastic work”
“Providence was extremely helpful to my personal recovery. They provided me with many helpful coping skills as well as resources for managing my substance abuse. The staff are all really kind and it has made a big difference in my perspective and outlook on my future.”
“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.”
“Before coming to Scottsdale Providence I felt hopeless and I can truly say now that I no longer feel this way. Everyone on staff show up every day ready to provide education, support, and an overwhelming sense of care. I could not have asked for more and feel proud that my journey in life involved coming here!”
“I've spent the last 50 some odd days in housing (PHP) at Providence and it's been a life changing experience. The opportunity to live around other sober girls and focus on recovery has been beneficial in ways I never thought were possible. I can't express my gratitude enough for this facility and all they've taught me. If you're looking for a recovery program, I highly suggest coming here. Ps. They offer IOP as well so if you'd rather not live in housing, you have more than one option.”
“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 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.”
“Going to Scottsdale providence saved my life, excellent living conditions, foods and the therapist are excellent 👌 following the program and doing the work made me a success!! Love everyone here ❤️”
“The mental health program at SPRC is wonderful and I highly recommend it to anyone who is struggling to live a fulfilling life. Their program helped me to challenge some of the ways I had been thinking and reset aspects of my life that had been making simple tasks difficult. I came in to SPRC thinking that I was incapable of living a life without constant depression and anxiety. I had gotten to the point where I couldn't go to work or even get out of bed. The staff at SPRC were completely understanding and I felt no judgement from them. This program made me realize that I am far from alone in my problems and I can succeed in living a fulfilling life. Even after graduating from SPRC's program, I still feel like I have their support through mental health peer groups as well as through the connections that I made with other clients at the recovery center. If you are struggling, give this place a try. For me, it was one of the best decisions I ever made.”
“I have been a client at SPRC since the end of May 2025. This place honestly saved my life. I was in the PHP house for my first 2 months, and while there were hard days, I could not be more grateful that I stayed. SPRC taught me not just how to sit with discomfort, but how to thrive in it. Before coming here, I was hopeless. I did 3 weeks at a residential treatment center in Tucson before I was booted due to insurance. Alex and the other staff at SPRC were incredibly gracious with my financial situation; they look at the clients as real people rather than numbers. Each therapist here made me feel cared for and understood in both groups and individual sessions. Working with Denise has expanded my view of past traumas and how those affect my decisions and actions today, and she has facilitated so much healing of my inner parts. Dr. Sarah and her OT team helped me significantly with understanding my underlying neurodivergence. If you are debating coming here or sending your loved one here, I can attest to it being an extremely compassionate, fun-loving, and respectful community. The people I’ve met here have become a family to me, so much so that I decided to return for IOP after taking time out of state. That’s not to say it’s an easy walk in the park; you will work here, and you will face challenges. But you will have people standing by your side throughout them all. I feel the team at SPRC genuinely wants the best for me and cares about my wellbeing and success living a sober, free life. All of my love to this place.”
“Fantastic staff and incredible program. This is a wonderful place to regroup, learn and recapture a new life.”
“Scottsdale Providence saved my life. As a lifelong drug addict I didn’t feel that there was much hope. I thought it was going to be awkward being a bit on the older side at 48, but neither preconceived notion was true. The staff at the residential house was warm and inviting. They reassessed and modified my medications which made me feel so much better. The staff immediately formed a treatment plan taking into account my goals. The group sessions are amazing and include everything from cutting edge therapy, traditional therapy, yoga, meditation, and daily check ins. The ono on one sessions are with highly skilled and compassionate therapists who use a variety of techniques. Once leaving residential and stepping down to PHP at the treatment center the amazing care continues. The group sessions are intense and very engaging. The one on one sessions continue to be facilitated by highly skilled therapists. Many of the staff are in recovery themselves. They treat everyone equally no matter what race, sect, political views, pronouns, religion, rich, poor, old, and young. I suffered a horrific family tragedy that occurred while I was still in treatment. The SPRC staff swooped in and offered me all the help and extra therapy I needed. They modified my treatment plan to account for this change. They even helped me get my affairs in order. And now that I’m a few days from completion, they have made sure everything I need to be successful is in place. From amazing facilities to having the very best staff, this place is second to none. It isn’t just a country club, they push you to work towards your goals and keep close eye on your progress. If you want to sit in a pool and have your hand held for 90 days, this is not the place. If you are serious about getting well and ready to put on the work, SPRC is the only choice in Phoenix.”
“I came into this place absolutely lost and hopeless. This place showed me the love and grace i needed to get back on my feet and on track to living a healthy successful life. A huge Thank you to the staff and everything you have all done for me if you suffer from mental disorders/substance abuse this is the place to go for help, couldn’t have asked for a better experience”
“This center has been life changing for me! I’ve never gotten such personalized help as I did at SPRC. Not only attending daily group therapy, but having one on one sessions with multiple different therapist/psychiatrist has open my eyes to a world of help I didn’t know was available for me. The knowledge I’m leaving this center with about myself is priceless and I cannot thank the staff and my peers enough. I truly don’t know if I’d be here today without this amazing center and their resources! 100/10 would recommend to anyone who feels like their situation is beyond helping!”

Evening IOP Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
These questions reflect the clinical fit guidance from the Evening IOP source page. A confidential assessment can help determine whether this level of care is appropriate.
Evening IOP may be a good fit for adults who are medically and psychiatrically stable, but still need more support than traditional weekly outpatient care. It is designed for people with mild to moderate mental health symptoms, substance use concerns, or co-occurring disorders that are affecting daily life but can still be safely treated in a non-residential setting.
You may need more than traditional outpatient care if symptoms are affecting work, school, relationships, or daily functioning and you need more structure, accountability, and therapeutic support than weekly sessions can provide. Evening IOP helps people maintain progress, strengthen functioning, and reduce relapse risk.
No. Some people enter Evening IOP after residential treatment or another higher level of care, while others begin at this level if it is clinically appropriate. Admission decisions are based on a comprehensive assessment, safety, symptom severity, functioning, strengths, needs, and clinical judgment.
A higher level of care may be more appropriate when someone has active suicidal or homicidal intent, recent substance use within the past 30 days, severe psychiatric instability, a need for medical detox or intensive medical monitoring, difficulty participating in group treatment, or a need for extensive structure and supervision.
Yes. Because Evening IOP is a community-based level of care, safe and stable housing plus reliable transportation are important. It is also helpful to have outside support or a willingness to build support through family, peers, or community resources.
If Evening IOP is not the right fit, a different level of care may be recommended based on your assessment, safety needs, symptom severity, and overall functioning. The treatment team uses clinical judgment to determine the most appropriate support and can adjust care over time.
