“I had an amazing experience at SPRC. The staff is extremely caring and serious about their patients recovery. They show you that the reallly care and genuinely want to help however they can. It was a life changing experience going to SPRC and hope to stay in touch with the staff in the future.”

“Scottsdale Providence is an incredible place. They helped me get clean, sober, and happy while providing a safe comfortable place to do so. All the staff and therapist truly care about your recovery and many of them have been through recovery themselves. They are extremely knowledgeable and compassionate. And the fellowship and community here is one of a kind. The program helped me address the root cause of my addiction and gave me the tools to live a fulfilling life. They even set me up with an aftercare plan to maintain my sobriety. I would really recommend SPRC to anyone struggling with 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.”
