Stories of Hope & Recovery

Browse firsthand reviews of Scottsdale Providence Recovery Center, shared in the words of the people who wrote them. The comments below offer a closer look at the care team, treatment setting, communication, and support available here.

“Scottsdale Providence has been nothing short of amazing. I've been to previous treatment centers and the significance in difference to this one is substantial. The clinical staff is truly caring and compassionate about the clients, group therapy, and the material that is provided to those in such an ultra sensitive situation. The clinic and client houses far exceed my expectations as they are contemporary and tidy. My personal experience as a 26 year old male struggling from opiate addiction has been hopeless in the past before entering this treatment facility. But I have found such a huge turning point for myself by learning new coping skills and techniques to better understand, my substance abuse, PTSD, and mental health needs. My family has been given the opportunity to be apart of this journey as well and have seen such a change in myself because the work I've done here. Hope has been restored and I am safe knowing that I have the ability to move forward with confidence that I can stay sober another day because of the love and care SPRC has given me. They've given me the chance to look deep within myself and show myself that I am worth staying sober and loving myself. Thanks SPRC!”

“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!”

“My case manager Lauren Y & Tyler helped me continuously with my paid leave until we got it figured out. They both had to jump through so many hoops and helped me with so many different things including helping me through mental breakdowns. I would strongly recommend because I’ve never felt better and wouldn’t change a thing about my experience. Also, the therapist and other staff are fantastic!!!!”

“This place is great! I was really hopeless coming in and didn't think my chances of recovery were very high. The staff here, the therapists and the BHTs are the absolute greatest. Working with them has brought some hope back to my life and I now feel I'm not some hopeless drug addict. I can stay sober and this place helped me realize that. They treated my mental health too!!!! It feels nice having mental clarity.”

“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”

“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.”

I never thought I would be smiling again. I now have a renewed gratitude towards life and I no longer have a deadline on my life. I am 34 days free of self harm and going strong. They have helped me develop healthy coping skills and taught me how to successfully live independently.”
