What Is Family Therapy?
Support for the Relationships Recovery Depends On
Family therapy at Scottsdale Providence is grounded in the belief that a family operates as a system of interconnected parts. When one part is disrupted by mental illness or addiction, every other part can feel the impact.
This work helps families address the shifts in trust, responsibilities, communication, and emotional safety that can occur under the strain of behavioral health disorders. The goal is not only individual recovery, but a healthier family environment around that recovery.
Shared Healing
Family therapy helps recovery extend beyond the individual by addressing trust, responsibilities, communication, and old patterns.
Ongoing Support
Families receive guidance so they can stay connected, informed, and better prepared to support change after treatment.
How Sessions Work
Therapy Built Around the Needs of Each Family
Families do not all look the same, and they do not all need the same type of support. The primary therapist helps determine when family engagement is clinically appropriate and which approach best serves the client and family.
Clarify Who Should Be Involved
Rather than prescribing who should participate, therapists help identify the loved ones and supports most relevant to the person's treatment.
Begin When Clinically Appropriate
Family sessions may begin once the primary therapist determines the client is stable enough for direct family engagement.
Work Through Real Dynamics
Sessions create space for communication, accountability, boundaries, and the repair work needed after strain from symptoms or substance use.
Stay Connected Over Time
SPRC also supports families through ongoing education and a monthly Zoom family support group.
Who Can Benefit?
Family Means the People Who Matter Most
Any family navigating the challenges of mental illness or addiction can benefit from therapy services. Scottsdale Providence recognizes family broadly: parents, siblings, partners, close friends, or anyone with a close and enduring emotional connection to the client.
Family sessions can help loved ones understand what has happened, name what needs to change, and begin creating healthier ways to communicate and support recovery.
Monthly Family Support
SPRC offers a monthly Zoom family support group for family members of current clients and alumni who remain active in the community.
Parents, Siblings, and Partners
Family therapy can include the people who are closest to the client and most affected by the recovery process.
Chosen Family and Close Friends
Family can mean any group of people with close, enduring emotional ties, including trusted friends and supports.
IFS-Informed Therapy
Therapists may use Internal Family Systems and other modalities to match the family's needs and treatment goals.
Empowering Families
Build a Stronger Support System for Recovery
Family therapy helps address the complex dynamics of mental illness and addiction so families can move forward with more clarity, connection, and hope.
Client Stories
Recovery & Family Support, In Their Words
Hear from people and families who found compassionate, evidence-based care at Scottsdale Providence.
“Scottsdale Providence has been an amazing experience. With it being my first treatment center, I was already scared beyond belief to go to an inpatient place that I told myself I never would go to but it ended up being an actual breath of fresh air. Staff are the most caring, tough loving people and the relationships I’ve made are better than any I’ve had before”
“The therapists and staff at Scottsdale Providence are knowledgeable, caring and helpful. I would recommend going here for help. They take pride in their work and are genuine.”
“Five Star Review. Scottsdale Providence Recovery Center is an all encompassing treatment center that caters to the needs of each and every individual. The therapists here express true concern for their patients and have the experience necessary to understand and relate to our needs. The knowledge and wisdom imparted on me by the staff in tools of recovery has equipped me with a spiritually fit armor. Today, I am filled with Hope, Faith and Courage to succeed in all aspects of my life. I have made significant progress spiritually, mentally and physically. SPRC saved my life and I am forever indebted for this fulfilling experience. Thank You to all the staff and patients alike!!”
“Good staff and good programming. I would recommend this place if ur looking into getting help.”
“This place is amazing!!! Definitely recommend SPRC to anyone struggling with substance abuse or mental health”
“Incredible level of treatment that focuses on all aspects of the individual. The staff makes it a point to discuss each persons unique situation on a daily basis and tailors a specific program that meets the needs of each patient. Whether you are seeking help for Addiction, Trauma, or Mental Health I would highly recommend SPRC. The housing accommodations are a bonus.”
“SPRC has been a life changing experience for me. I did the inpatient treatment in the women’s house, met some life long friends and have grown so much. Not only does this center treat addiction but also mental health disorders, and trauma! I have learned acceptance, self compassion, and so much more with the help of the therapists who run groups and peer support. It’s a lot at first like any treatment center can be with intensive therapy but you get used to it. The cool thing here is if you complete the 90 day treatment you are alumni and can come into groups whenever you like and are invited to events. SPRC is like a second family to me. I’m so grateful;)”
“SPRC genuinely saved my life and I will forever be grateful for my experience at the center!! The entire staff (therapists, BHTs, the clinical director) is unlike any other place and truly, genuinely care about each client's recovery. The culture here is so welcoming and honestly makes recovery not only fulfilling but fun. Thank you for everything you've done for me and helping me find the will to live a healthy and happy life again :'). This will be something I carry with me forever. (Tyler's grief and loss class is one of the best groups also Denise's spirituality group ^-^ if you come here try checking out those groups!!!)”

“I absolutely loved my experience at Scottsdale Providence and I would highly recommend it to anyone struggling with substance abuse and/or mental health. The staff are extremely kind and understanding. The group of clients can vary but, in my experience, they were energetic, open, willing, and uplifting. I loved how the treatment was not just focused on therapy, but included more wholistic factors such as nutrition, physical health, and community. This was the best experience I could ever have asked for.”
“This was the best recovery center that I have been to for personalized care. All of the staff are familiar with the patients and the center feels like a community. All of the staff were invested in my recovery and having all of the tools when I left.”
“SPRC is a wonderful treatment center. I honestly highly recommend this place for anyone struggling with addiction or mental illness. The owners have decades of sobriety and experience to share with patients in their care. They are dedicated, caring, brutally honest and informed. Love you guys dearly.”
“This place saved my life. I came in completely lost and full of fear. Dan Shawn Drew were especially helpful in figuring out what I need to focus on moving forward. I would send my family here any time. This place is family.”
“I had the pleasure to do residential and PHP at SPRC. I have been to several other rehabs and I can honestly SPRC was the best one. I have learned so much about myself, worked on my trauma by doing EMDR and the therapist here are outstanding. The owner, Dan, runs 3 of the groups during the week which amazes me. I have never been to a recovery center where the owner is so involved with the clients, he also is a therapist for some of the clients. All other groups are runned by therapists, which has its benifits. All the staff are carring and will help you with any questions or appointments you may need. The best part is after you complete the program and become ulumni you are still able to be involved with the fellowship here. They have activities throughout the year and I look forward continuing my journey with 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.”
“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.”
“Scottsdale Providence has changed my life for the better. I was a bit skeptical before I came in since I have gone to rehab before, but the difference between the first time and now are like night and day. The staff is highly trained and the complete opposite of pompousity. The BHTs and clinical staff are on the same level as everyone and I have found a family here. There are a variety of AA/CA meetings to attend and mental health meetings as well. I came in as dual diagnosis (mental health & substance abuse) and they have gone above and beyond with meeting my needs and showing me that sobriety and self-care is the pinnacle of a healthy, fulfilling life. I am excited to become apart of the alumni program so I am able to continue my journey and keep in touch with the people who have truly touched my life. I am eternally grateful to have given rehab a second chance and found a program that meets my needs and exceeds any expectations. I would highly recommend Scottsdale Providence to anyone needing help with substance abuse and/or mental health. We all come from different backgrounds and phases of life but have always been able to support and grow with each other. Thank you SPRC for giving me hope and faith again.”
