Psychiatric Care
Weekly psychiatric evaluation and medication management support the clinical work happening in therapy.

Our services are delivered by a multidisciplinary team experienced in treating complex mood and psychiatric disorders. Care is designed around the person in front of us, with individualized treatment plans and a clinical environment built for sustained, long-term recovery.
We combine psychiatric care, individual therapy, group work, and evidence-based modalities to create the conditions for people to understand what they are facing and begin building a healthier relationship with themselves and the world around them.
Two people can share a diagnosis and still need very different care. Clinical Director Keren Poirier, LCSW explains how Scottsdale Providence combines trauma-informed modalities, clinical insight and lived experience, and human connection to build treatment programs around the client and meet them where they are.
Treatment consists of individual and group therapy along with psychiatric care. The clinical foundation is Interactive Journaling, an experiential modality that puts the client at the center of their change process.
Our expert treatment team blends CBT, Motivational Interviewing, DBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, EMDR, Neurofeedback, and Occupational Therapy to promote long-term recovery.
Weekly psychiatric evaluation and medication management support the clinical work happening in therapy.
Clients receive structured individual and group care across PHP and IOP programming.
The program centers the client in the change process through experiential reflection and skill-building.
Case management, discharge planning, acupuncture, yoga, and fitness activities reinforce the treatment plan.
At the heart of our approach is a deep commitment to addressing a diverse range of mental health challenges. We take pride in our team of industry-leading professionals, each highly trained and seasoned, working collaboratively to tailor individualized treatment plans. Our focus is on creating the ideal conditions for sustained, long-term recovery. Gaining an understanding of the complex factors surrounding these mental health challenges is not only essential but also immensely beneficial in fostering a compassionate and effective healing journey for each individual under our care.

Free Family Support Group will be made available on the last Wednesday of each month. This group is open to all family members of current clients as well as past alumni who are still actively involved within the SPRC community.
Hear from people and families who found steadier footing through compassionate, evidence-based care at Scottsdale Providence.
After more than a year in treatment, Meghan arrived at Scottsdale Providence feeling that she had lost all hope for an independent future. Through individualized clinical support, occupational therapy, and a community that believed in her, she began rebuilding connection and a life beyond treatment without self-defeating behaviors.
“This facility was amazing in every part of recovery, the staff and therapist were phenomenal. I would highly recommend Scottsdale Providence. They treat every individual unique. They truly care about your outcome and success in recovery.”
“Extremely grateful for the care and support of the staff at SPRC as my husband went through his recovery. Special mention for his caseworker Lauren, who went above and beyond to assist him and our family.”
“SPRC is hands down the greatest treatment center there is. They have great staff that is truly dedicated to helping people. Everyone is very down to earth and easy to get along with. Kara is an amazing therapist and their case manager Nicole is a life saver. If you are looking for help with mental health or substance abuse this is the best place to be.”
“Good staff and good programming. I would recommend this place if ur looking into getting help.”
“Incredible level of treatment that focuses on all aspects of the individual. The staff makes it a point to discuss each persons unique situation on a daily basis and tailors a specific program that meets the needs of each patient. Whether you are seeking help for Addiction, Trauma, or Mental Health I would highly recommend SPRC. The housing accommodations are a bonus.”
“I must say the care that I have been given here is exceptional! I knew I needed to change then discovered through my treatment I was transformed to my improved self. My worries drifted from the trauma of my past to how successful tomorrow will be. Highly recommend.”
“SPRC staff truly cares about their clients and it shows. They devote countless hours each day to giving us the care and help we need. They create a safe environment for all, making sure each person knows they’re welcomed there; SPRC is a family. And the miracle is real.”
“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 cant possibly fit all the amazing things i have to say about SPRC, but I will try. The compassion and dedication I experienced and observed during my time at SPRC was unbelievable, and its not just a few great staff members that leave that impression but literally EVERY SINGLE staff member at SPRC. They restored my faith in myself & humanity and helped me real start living I have been in therapy on and off for 15 years. In all that time I never even learn as much as I did in 1 wk at sprc. SPRC uses so many different modalities to treat mental health and addiction issues. I attended 5 day a week, group class / sessions and found support and comfort I never expected in a group setting and to be honest at 1st I was not willing to be vulnerable either. I also had many 1:1 option available to me for therapy. They also have an open door practice, you just have to ask. But I will be honest it is not all sunshine and happy days. It's work, hard work. But it has allow me to grow and shift my perspectives. My family and I were able to see the growth every week. Its full of uncomfortable moments, hard truths, and self reflection. If I was talking to myself on Aug 13 2021 the date I realized I cant keep living this way. I would tell her go to sprc, no need to look anywhere else this place has everything you need, to get you back on your feet and actually living again. I HOPE this help one person find what I did at sprc.”
“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 highly recommend Scottsdale Providence for mental health recovery. I searched for a place that wasn’t just a rehab facility who saw mental health as a second thought and thankfully found SPRC. The staff truly care about helping and are educated on what they teach as well as people I enjoy being around. I’ve learned so much in my time there, processed trauma through groups, individual sessions, and EMDR, and I’m walking away with a much needed perspective change and so many more healthy coping skills. I’m grateful for all they’ve done to help me and look forward to going back to visit!”
“I came to SPRC at my absolute lowest. The level of case management, groups available, and individual therapy is miles above anywhere else I’ve tried. However, you need to be willing to accept the help, work on yourself, and put in the work. As an alcoholic who couldn’t think of one redeeming quality in myself 3 months ago, I recommend SPRC to anyone looking for help whether you’re struggling with substances or mental health problems. This isn’t a place to rest or solve all your problems, but they set you up for success. Shout out Lauren in case management for running the ship and Caitlin for helping me navigate into a new life.”
“Excellent experience. The staff was extremely knowledgeable & challenged my way of thinking in a productive way. Very grateful to have made the decision to choose Providence. The therapists don't co-sign any crap that I would try to tell myself about my addiction. This type of working culture is amazing to be in a client in. At first it's scary but if you stick with it you'll see why it's effective. Lastly, don't go to Providence if you aren't willing to work. If you plan on just taking up space then this isn't the treatment center for you.”
“SPRC treated me with respect and listened to all my needs!! There was always someone around to talk to and help me during rough days. The staff always had good feedback and always did their best to accommodate my needs. They helped me learn good routines, coping skills and other things like family dynamics, substance abuse, communication styles and how to set good boundaries!”
“SPRC saved my life. This program and its staff go above and beyond and truly care about their clients’ well-being and recovery. I admittedly was not an easy client in the beginning, and not only did they put up with all of my initial disagreements and fights against my treatment plan, they helped me navigate the fear and uncertainty that can come with early recovery. They met me with a level of sternness, patience, and genuine care that I desperately needed, even when I didn’t recognize it at the time. They walked beside me through every step of the process, challenged me when I needed to be challenged, supported me when I was struggling, and never gave up on me.Even now, as I enter outpatient, they are still actively involved in my recovery and make groups and sessions with my primary therapist (shout out Michael Moreno!) available to me as I continue to integrate back into life in the real world.Michael, Tyler, and all of the other therapists and staff who run this place are top-level, and I will be eternally grateful to SPRC for giving me a second chance at life.”
“This is my second home. This place was here for me in my time of need and accepted me back with open arms. I cant explain the how much I value my friends i expect to have for life here and also the staff who are like apart of my family. If you are looking for people who know how to treat people you should put this at the top of your list for sure. Much love <3.”
