What Is an Outpatient Program?

Successful Recovery at Scottsdale Providence
Hear from clients and families who found support through outpatient, mental health, substance use, and dual diagnosis care.
“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 Recovery Center has made a huge impact in my life. The team of therapists work together to create an individual experience for each client. They offer a variety of classes that teach tools to implement in everyday life. I found that the longer I stayed the more I learned. These people are real… they know that life happens and things have became serious for someone to enter the doors. Yet, they have a sense of humor and know how to balance life with laughter and fun. Thanks to the SPRC team, I have built a fun, healthy community. Thank you SPRC!”
“This place is life changing. I researched so many places before choosing to come to SPRC and am so thankful I was able to get in here. The staff is amazing and have made such a difference in my life. They are all very passionate and effective at what they do. From my first call to my intake they showed me professionalism, kindness, compassion, understanding, empathy, thoroughness and follow through. I can't imagine going anywhere else for such sensitive treatment that requires gentle but firm hands. If your thinking of coming in for treatment come in for a tour to see exactly what I am talking about. They truly care and know what they are doing.”
“I entered treatment for primary mental health and stayed in the girls house for 4 weeks before leaving for surgery for an unrelated injury. The staff is very kind and supportive and helped me to address my core issues. I would recommend SPRC for substance abuse and/or mental health issues.”
“After having doubts of entering a treatment facility, they were immediately squashed due to the outstanding staff members and facility at SPRC. The environment is extremely safe while making treatment enjoyable and fulfilling. I felt that SPRC truly cared about my recovery which led to a very comfortable experience. All of the faculty has the client's best interest at heart and will go the extra mile. The knowledge I've gained I will keep forever and continue to expand on in the future. I highly recommend SPRC to anyone in need of help. I am extremely grateful and thankful. God Bless SPRC.”
“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.”
“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!”

“5 years ago I stepped into SPRC and if I’m honest I had no confidence in myself and didn’t think I would make it. I did A LOT of self sabotage while there. I had already been kicked out of two other rehabs in the past and Dan could have very easily kicked me out for multiple stunts I pulled there… but he didn’t. They didn’t give up on me and I kept pushing forward. On Friday I just celebrated 5 years sober and free. Thank you SPRC for getting me through the hardest part of my life and giving me the tools I needed to get better. My life today is amazing and it’s a gift I will never take for granted. ♥️”
“SPRC changed my life completely! The staff is incredibly caring and they really do want to help people not only get sober but actually recover. I’ve been to treatment centers before and they just wanted my money. This place isn’t like that and it’s worth every penny. As scared as I was to enter treatment again, I’m so glad I did and I would highly recommend this center for anyone struggling with addiction and/or mental health!”
“Scottsdale Providence has truly changed my life. All of the staff members and therapists are so kind, compassionate and truly care about the clients and their well being. I have never seen anything like it and would highly recommend them to any one suffering with substance abuse or mental health issues.”
“This program is excellent! 5 stars They really worked with me, honestly and fairly handling my trauma and diagnosis.”
“My son entered Scottsdale Providence after leaving AMA twice from a very popular treatment facility just outside of Tucson. My son only 19 years old was really battling with depression, very high anxiety and Panic Attacks. Not only did Scottsdale Providence accept my son but due to my current financial situation as a disabled veteran they blew me away with their understanding and kindness and offered my son a scholarship which basically meant that as a family we paid absolutely nothing, Nada, Zilch out of pocket expenses for my sons treatment. What I’ve shared so far is really just the tip of the iceberg because the treatment my son received from day one was second to none. The staff, whether it be the on site psychiatrist/psychologist, the therapists, the behavioral health techs, the house managers and the case managers and yes even the administrative staff simply could not be better. Each staff member is extremely well trained in their particular profession and by Scottsdale Providence and all pay attention to detail. The help my son received while a client is and will continue to be a treasure trove of skills, mental health tools if you will, that my son can use now and as he continues to heal throughout his recovery and healing process. As a father and as a parent we all want the very best for our children, I can attest with complete transparency that if you, your child, a loved one or a friend will get nothing but the best in addiction care and mental health care from Scottsdale Providence. I could go on and on but let me close by saying this, the staff at Scottsdale Providence take their jobs very seriously and are not only an attribute to the company, one another and especially to each client but in a much bigger sense they are a huge ambassador and example of what treatment is all about and should be. I am forever thankful for the help and care my son received in such a compassionate setting. I’d also like to thank one staff member in particular as I dealt with him on several occasions. KYLE Thank you for being there night or day, whenever I had questions or concerns whatever my needs were you always treated me with dignity and respect. You deserve many more accolades but I hope my thank you will suffice for now. You truly are an ambassador that Scottsdale Providence cannot afford to lose. Sincerely and with gratitude and respect…. John G.”
“I can not say enough good things about SPRC. To give a little background about my experience, I suffer from mental health issues. I had never been to a treatment center before. When I got here I was terrified. However the staff was very kind and put me at ease. The staff did an excellent job helping identify my needs and create a plan of recovery. They are very knowledgeable and genuinely care about the lives and recovery of each individual.”
“saved my life and will be forever grateful for the program, staff and community I have found during my time here. I would recommend to anyone”
