“Great Program, best recovery center that I’ve been to. Staff were excellent! Would recommend Scottsdale Providence to anyone who’s struggling with addiction or mental health.”
“5 years ago I stepped into SPRC and if I’m honest I had no confidence in myself and didn’t think I would make it. I did A LOT of self sabotage while there. I had already been kicked out of two other rehabs in the past and Dan could have very easily kicked me out for multiple stunts I pulled there… but he didn’t. They didn’t give up on me and I kept pushing forward. On Friday I just celebrated 5 years sober and free. Thank you SPRC for getting me through the hardest part of my life and giving me the tools I needed to get better. My life today is amazing and it’s a gift I will never take for granted. ♥️”
“I had a great experience at SPRC. The staff was kind and supportive. I learned a lot and made some good friends. Highly recommended!”
“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.”
“saved my life and will be forever grateful for the program, staff and community I have found during my time here. I would recommend to anyone”
“Absolutely saved my life. Compassionate staff, great therapists, and I loved that they had a schedule for their groups. I’ve been to other centers before but this one really put me on the right path.”
“After having doubts of entering a treatment facility, they were immediately squashed due to the outstanding staff members and facility at SPRC. The environment is extremely safe while making treatment enjoyable and fulfilling. I felt that SPRC truly cared about my recovery which led to a very comfortable experience. All of the faculty has the client's best interest at heart and will go the extra mile. The knowledge I've gained I will keep forever and continue to expand on in the future. I highly recommend SPRC to anyone in need of help. I am extremely grateful and thankful. God Bless SPRC.”
“I can’t thank this place enough! This was my first time in treatment and I was very unsure what I wanted to do. I decided to try one night, I ended up staying 90! I owe this place my life! The men’s house is a beautiful home away from home in North Scottsdale! All the staff was very helpful and truly care about you! Thank you SPRC!”

“I'm changing my review from 1 to 5 stars. Although I struggled at the residential house, I've been attending the PHP for mental health and I'm happy I decided to come back. I've been to different one-on-one therapists for years without much improvement, and I was skeptical about how effective group therapy would be. In a few short weeks, I've learned so much about myself and what's been keeping me in unhealthy thinking patterns. They have many different therapists that work together to approach care from different angles, and they foster a supportive group environment. At first I was overwhelmed by how different each therapist is, because I didn't know what to expect from one class to the next. Now I see how they have challenged each aspect of recovery; mind, body, and spirit. Thanks SPRC”
“pretty chill place overall- most of the staff are super nice, nichole was my primary therapist and she’s awesome. this place is super flexible and understanding so i appreciate that. the house is nice and the groups are helpful!! im sitting with lauren (she’s awesome so be nice to her)”
“The house and facilities are awesome and the staff really does care about every client. I have been to a lot of other treatment centers and scottsdale providence has been the best by far! This place saved my life and I would highly recommend coming here if your struggling with addiction or mental health issues.”

“Excellent Program. Staff are awesome. Whatever your need. They will help.”
“Opportunity to meet people from all walks of life. In addition, the staff did not coddle you. They brought you into your natural raw in order to face everything from the time of diagnosis recovery and follow up.”
“This is the best place for treatment. I came here for mental health treatment. Every single staff member truly cares about your treatment and helps create an individual plan for each’s path toward recovery. I had Brittany as my primary and she is by far the best therapist I have ever had. Every therapist was amazing. This place really cares. They really hold everyone accountable on their stuff and make sure everyone does their work towards recovery. There is a large sense of family here at SPRC. Even after you are done with treatment, they are not going to leave you hanging. They will help you figure everything you need for continuing care. They have such amazing treatments for mental health like EMDR and neurofeedback. The groups are relevant for everyone. This is the place for those who are wanting real help and those who are serious for recovery for mental health or addiction.”
“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.”
