“This was my first time receiving treatment and I honestly have to say I think this was the absolute best place I could have gone to. I would recommend this place to anyone. The entire staff truly cares about your wellbeing and helping prepare you for life outside of treatment. I learned many valuable skills as well as making many new friendships. I was reluctant to come at first but within my first day the staff already made me feel at home. I truly enjoyed my stay here. All the therapists helped me immensely with the multitude of problems I have. Not only did they help me with my substance abuse but with my mental health problems as well. This will truly go down as one of my greatest experiences I have ever had and am excited to maintain all the relationships I have attained here.”
“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've always had underlying trauma and mental health issues that I never dealt with and didn't know or understand how to comprehend it. I was at a very low point in my life and didn't know what else to do. That's when I was recommended to take a look into recovery programs and centers. I called around a few places and none was as quick as Scottsdale Providence to reach back out in a desperate time of need. Within minutes I was contacted by Taliah and was ask if I'm genuinely doing okay and if she can be of any services. That's when I knew that this was potential the place for me to get my life back on track. She took me step by step of how everything was going to happen and once I get to the center they will help me with anything that may come along with this journey. Once I got to the center I was greeted by multiple people and felt real human connection by each of the staff members here. Scottsdale Providence has taught me alot of valuable skills and lessons while being here. The best thing I got out from Scottsdale Providence was that my pain or my trauma did not have to go unnoticed and what I went through matters. That no matter what I'm never alone. So I will always be grateful for this place and the path I have going forward because of them 🤍”

“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.”
“SPRC was an amazing program. I stayed for 90 days and really got so much out of the therapy groups and my individual sessions. The staff is supportive and caring while being extremely professional.”
