“I came into this place absolutely lost and hopeless. This place showed me the love and grace i needed to get back on my feet and on track to living a healthy successful life. A huge Thank you to the staff and everything you have all done for me if you suffer from mental disorders/substance abuse this is the place to go for help, couldn’t have asked for a better experience”
“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.”
“To whom it may concern, My life shows many common traits throughout it's course of a quarter century. I was raised in a bit of an absent home with a common theme of emptiness from a young age. My parents were married young and I grew up in a fairly poor lifestyle. Both parents were always out trying to create a better life for me and my sister. Which commonly resulted in a physically empty household. These traits of the home and my environment resulted in behavioral issues such as aggression, violence, and thriving for any and all forms of attention. Which sparked a long line of trouble in my years to come and a pretty "average" occurrence. My drug use seemed pretty inevitable from an early age. When it took hold, it TOOK HOLD with full force. These actions, accompanied with a still loving family, placed me in rehabs and institutions by my late teens. Prior to entering Scottsdale Providence at age 24, I had been to drug and alcohol abuse treatment centers 13 times. Multiple trips to different detox's, as well as a few trips to different psych wards through the years. Upon entering SPRC I had just finished up a year and a half sentence in the county jail. Which is almost ALWAYS going to cause behavioral issues getting reestablished back in to normal society. This proved to be true for me as well. Not only did SPRC knowingly take me on as a client, they treated me with the utmost respect and grace. Something I was not expecting. All staff was not only accommodating to any and all needs I had as a new client, but they were patient, loving, and more than encouraging to me and all other clients. There were multiple times throughout my stay with SPRC where I was pushed and encouraged to strive for "more" within my personal life. They taught me a form of recovery I had no idea existed, or was let alone possible. The overall level of life they promised me and lead me to achieve has not only been achieved but exceeded. They showed me not only how to love other people properly, but how to love MYSELF properly and healthily. I was shown my lack of ambiguity and even certain personality traits classified to be narcissism, and in such a fashion I was not only open to accepting that this could be reality, but having a desire to change these toxic traits as well. Then, they directed my actions to amend these toxic traits while continuing to grow without resorting or digressing back to them. I was guided with love, grace, and happiness to an existence of life in which most humans will never fully experience. That is what happens at SPRC. In conclusion, I received a level of love and care in which no treatment center could possibly ever bill insurance or clients for. I've held staff and clients alike very close to my heart throughout the course of my sobriety. This is due to fact of what I have learned, experienced, and had the blessing to be a part of sense going through SPRC. They have shown me a new reality filled with love and beauty in which I could never have conceived to be true unless I had admitted myself to this EXACT treatment center. I truly believe in my heart and soul that the people associated with SPRC are cut from a different cloth, thus supplying our community and world with a significantly healthier, happy, and more loving populace. I hate to imagine what my life would be if I had never been lead through the doors of SPRC. It is one of the few places I have ever actually referred to as "home." With Love, Taylor H (Sobriety date: 9/1/17)”
