“Scottsdale Providence has been an amazing experience. With it being my first treatment center, I was already scared beyond belief to go to an inpatient place that I told myself I never would go to but it ended up being an actual breath of fresh air. Staff are the most caring, tough loving people and the relationships I’ve made are better than any I’ve had before”

“Five Star Review. Scottsdale Providence Recovery Center is an all encompassing treatment center that caters to the needs of each and every individual. The therapists here express true concern for their patients and have the experience necessary to understand and relate to our needs. The knowledge and wisdom imparted on me by the staff in tools of recovery has equipped me with a spiritually fit armor. Today, I am filled with Hope, Faith and Courage to succeed in all aspects of my life. I have made significant progress spiritually, mentally and physically. SPRC saved my life and I am forever indebted for this fulfilling experience. Thank You to all the staff and patients alike!!”

“SPRC has been a life changing experience for me. I did the inpatient treatment in the women’s house, met some life long friends and have grown so much. Not only does this center treat addiction but also mental health disorders, and trauma! I have learned acceptance, self compassion, and so much more with the help of the therapists who run groups and peer support. It’s a lot at first like any treatment center can be with intensive therapy but you get used to it. The cool thing here is if you complete the 90 day treatment you are alumni and can come into groups whenever you like and are invited to events. SPRC is like a second family to me. I’m so grateful;)”

“I absolutely loved my experience at Scottsdale Providence and I would highly recommend it to anyone struggling with substance abuse and/or mental health. The staff are extremely kind and understanding. The group of clients can vary but, in my experience, they were energetic, open, willing, and uplifting. I loved how the treatment was not just focused on therapy, but included more wholistic factors such as nutrition, physical health, and community. This was the best experience I could ever have asked for.”

“I had the pleasure to do residential and PHP at SPRC. I have been to several other rehabs and I can honestly SPRC was the best one. I have learned so much about myself, worked on my trauma by doing EMDR and the therapist here are outstanding. The owner, Dan, runs 3 of the groups during the week which amazes me. I have never been to a recovery center where the owner is so involved with the clients, he also is a therapist for some of the clients. All other groups are runned by therapists, which has its benifits. All the staff are carring and will help you with any questions or appointments you may need. The best part is after you complete the program and become ulumni you are still able to be involved with the fellowship here. They have activities throughout the year and I look forward continuing my journey with SPRC.”

“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.”

“Scottsdale Providence has changed my life for the better. I was a bit skeptical before I came in since I have gone to rehab before, but the difference between the first time and now are like night and day. The staff is highly trained and the complete opposite of pompousity. The BHTs and clinical staff are on the same level as everyone and I have found a family here. There are a variety of AA/CA meetings to attend and mental health meetings as well. I came in as dual diagnosis (mental health & substance abuse) and they have gone above and beyond with meeting my needs and showing me that sobriety and self-care is the pinnacle of a healthy, fulfilling life. I am excited to become apart of the alumni program so I am able to continue my journey and keep in touch with the people who have truly touched my life. I am eternally grateful to have given rehab a second chance and found a program that meets my needs and exceeds any expectations. I would highly recommend Scottsdale Providence to anyone needing help with substance abuse and/or mental health. We all come from different backgrounds and phases of life but have always been able to support and grow with each other. Thank you SPRC for giving me hope and faith again.”
