Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure [Text Block]	'
	1. Basis of Presentation, Description of Business and New Accounting Pronouncements
	Basis of Presentation
	The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (the “consolidated financial statements”) include the accounts of The Providence Service Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including its foreign wholly-owned subsidiary WCG International Ltd. (“WCG”). Unless the context otherwise requires, references to the “Company”, “our”, “we” and “us” mean The Providence Service Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
	The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of recurring accruals) considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. In order to conform to the current year presentation, prior year amounts have been reclassified to show human services revenues as one line item.
	The Company has made a number of estimates relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013. Management has evaluated events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date and through the date these consolidated financial statements were issued and considered the effect of such events in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements.
	The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2012 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The consolidated financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
	Description of Business
	The Company is a government outsourcing privatization company. The Company operates in the following two segments: Human Services and Non-Emergency Transportation Services (“NET Services”). During the third quarter of 2013, the Company changed the name of its Social Services segment to the Human Services segment. The name change was made as part of a rebranding effort to reflect the future vision of the Human Services business, and to better describe the broad spectrum of services it provides. The Human Services segment responds to governmental privatization initiatives in adult and juvenile justice, corrections, social services, welfare systems, education and workforce development by providing home and community-based services and foster care services to at-risk families and children. The NET Services segment provides non-emergency transportation management services primarily to Medicaid and Medicare beneficiaries. As of September 30, 2013, the Company operated in 43 states and the District of Columbia, in the United States, and in British Columbia and Alberta, Canada.
	New Accounting Pronouncements
	In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02-Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2013-02”). ASU 2013-02 is intended to improve the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. Accordingly, an entity is required to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in net income if the amount being reclassified is required under GAAP to be reclassified in its entirety to net income. For other amounts that are not required under GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income in the same reporting period, an entity is required to cross-reference other disclosures required under GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. The amendments in this ASU supersede the presentation requirements for reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income in ASU 2013-05 and ASU 2013-12. ASU 2013-02 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company adopted ASU 2013-02 effective January 1, 2013. The adoption of ASU 2013-02 did not have an effect on the consolidated financial statements.

	5. Goodwill and Intangibles
	Goodwill
	In accordance with ASC 350, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other” (“ASC 350”), the Company applies a fair value-based impairment test to the net book value of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets on an annual basis and, if certain events or circumstances indicate that an impairment loss may have been incurred, on an interim basis. The analysis of potential impairment of goodwill requires a two-step process. The first step is the estimation of fair value. If step one indicates that an impairment potentially exists, the second step is performed to measure the amount of impairment, if any. Goodwill impairment exists when the estimated fair value of goodwill is less than its carrying value.
	During the quarter ended June 30, 2013, the not-for-profit entities managed by Rio Grande Management Company, L.L.C. (“Rio”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, were notified of the termination of funding for some or all of their services. Management expects that due to this change in funding, the not-for-profit entities will not be able to maintain the level of business they historically experienced, which is expected to result in the decrease, or elimination of, services provided by Rio to these entities. The Company determined that these factors were indicators that an interim goodwill impairment test was required under ASC 350. As a result, the Company estimated the fair value of the goodwill it acquired in connection with the Rio acquisition to be zero at June 30, 2013, and at that time, the Company recorded a non-cash charge of approximately $492,000 in its Human Services operating segment to eliminate the carrying value of goodwill acquired in connection with its acquisition of Rio. This charge was included in “Asset impairment charge” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
	Intangible Assets
	During the first nine months of 2012, WCG experienced a decline in its business due to the impact of a reorganization of the service delivery system in British Columbia, which began in early 2012. As part of this reorganization, all of the contracts for services in this market expired and new contracts were put up for bid. Due to an increased level of competition in British Columbia and a decrease in the number of services funded, WCG was unable to regain the level of business it enjoyed prior to the reorganization. The impact of this service delivery system reorganization was not fully realized until the conclusion of the transition to the new system in the third quarter of 2012 and contributed to a decrease in the financial results of operations of WCG for 2012.
	The Company determined that the value of the customer relationships obtained through the acquisition of WCG was impaired as of September 30, 2012. Consequently, the Company recorded a non-cash charge of approximately $2.5 million in its Human Services operating segment to reduce the carrying value of customer relationships acquired in connection with its acquisition of WCG based on their revised estimated fair values. In estimating the fair values of these intangible assets, the Company based its estimates on a projected discounted cash flow basis. This charge was included in “Asset impairment charge” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and nine month periods ending September 30, 2012.

	The carrying amount of the long-term obligations approximated their fair value at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. The fair value of the Company’s long-term obligations was estimated based on interest rates for the same or similar debt offered to the Company having same or similar remaining maturities and collateral requirements.
	On August 2, 2013, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, swing line lender and letter of credit issuer, SunTrust Bank, as syndication agent, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc., as joint lead arrangers and joint book managers and other lenders party thereto. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides the Company with a senior secured credit facility (“New Senior Credit Facility”), in aggregate principal amount of $225.0 million, comprised of a $60.0 million term loan facility and a $165.0 million revolving credit facility. There is an option to increase the amount of the term loan facility and/or the revolving credit facility by an aggregate amount of up to $75.0 million, as described below. The New Senior Credit Facility includes sublimits for swingline loans and letters of credit in amounts of up to $10.0 million and $25.0 million, respectively. On August 2, 2013, the Company borrowed the entire amount available under the term loan facility and $16.0 million under the revolving credit facility and used the proceeds thereof to refinance certain of the Company’s existing indebtedness. Prospectively, the proceeds of the New Senior Credit Facility may be used to (i) fund ongoing working capital requirements; (ii) make capital expenditures; (iii) repay the Notes; and (iv) other general corporate purposes.
	Under the New Senior Credit Facility, the Company has an option to request an increase in the amount of the revolving credit facility and/or the term loan facility from time to time (on substantially the same terms as apply to the existing facilities) in an aggregate amount of up to $75.0 million with either additional commitments from lenders under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement at such time or new commitments from financial institutions acceptable to the administrative agent in its reasonable discretion, so long as no default or event of default exists at the time of any such increase. The Company may not be able to access additional funds under this increase option as no lender is obligated to participate in any such increase under the New Senior Credit Facility.
	The New Senior Credit Facility matures on August 2, 2018. The Company may prepay the New Senior Credit Facility in whole or in part, at any time without premium or penalty, subject to reimbursement of the lenders’ breakage and redeployment costs in connection with prepayments of London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) loans. The unutilized portion of the commitments under the New Senior Credit Facility may be irrevocably reduced or terminated by us at any time without penalty.
	Interest on the outstanding principal amount of the loans accrues, at the Company’s election, at a per annum rate equal to LIBOR, plus an applicable margin or the base rate plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin ranges from 1.75% to 2.50% in the case of LIBOR loans and 0.75% to 1.50% in the case of the base rate loans, in each case based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Interest on the loans is payable quarterly in arrears. In addition, the Company is obligated to pay a quarterly commitment fee based on a percentage of the unused portion of each lender’s commitment under the revolving credit facility and quarterly letter of credit fees based on a percentage of the maximum amount available to be drawn under each outstanding letter of credit. The commitment fee and letter of credit fee ranges from 0.25% to 0.50% and 1.75% to 2.50%, respectively, in each case, based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio.
	The term loan facility is subject to quarterly amortization payments, commencing on December 31, 2014, so that the following percentages of the term loan outstanding on the closing date plus the principal amount of any term loans funded pursuant to the increase option are repaid as follows: 5.0% between December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2015, 7.5% between December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2016, 10.0% between December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2017, 11.25% between December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2018 and the remaining balance at maturity. The New Senior Credit Facility also requires the Company (subject to certain exceptions as set forth in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) to prepay the outstanding loans in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the net cash proceeds received from certain asset dispositions, debt issuances, insurance and casualty awards and other extraordinary receipts.
	The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. The negative covenants include restrictions on the Company’s ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, create liens, make investments, give guarantees, pay dividends, sell assets and merge and consolidate. The Company is subject to financial covenants, including consolidated net leverage and consolidated fixed charge covenants.
	The Company’s obligations under the New Senior Credit Facility are guaranteed by all of its present and future domestic subsidiaries, excluding certain domestic subsidiaries, which include its insurance captives and not-for-profit subsidiaries. The Company’s, and each guarantor’s, obligations under its guaranty of the New Senior Credit Facility are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the Company’s respective assets, including a pledge of 100% of the issued and outstanding stock of its domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the issued and outstanding stock of its first tier foreign subsidiaries.
	The Company incurred fees of approximately $2.1 million to refinance its long-term debt. The Company accounted for fees related to the refinancing of its long-term debt, as well as unamortized deferred financing fees related to the prior senior credit facility, under ASC 470-50 – Debt Modifications and Extinguishments. As both credit facilities were loan syndications, and a number of lenders participated in both credit facilities, the Company evaluated the accounting for financing fees on a lender by lender basis. Of the total amount of deferred financing fees related to the prior senior credit facility, approximately $849,000 will continue to be deferred and amortized and approximately $525,000 was expensed in the quarter ending September 30, 2013. Of the $2.1 million of fees incurred to refinance the long-term debt, approximately $1.8 million was deferred and will be amortized to interest expense and approximately $254,000 was expensed in the quarter ending September 30, 2013.

	8. Business Segments
	The Company operates in two reportable segments, and differentiates the segments based on the nature of the services they offer and the criteria in FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 280, “Segment Reporting”. The following describes each of the Company’s segments and its corporate services area.
	Human Services. Human Services includes government sponsored social services consisting of home and community based, foster care and not-for-profit management services. These services are purchased primarily by state, county and city levels of government, and are delivered under block purchase, cost based and fee-for-service arrangements. The Company also contracts with not-for-profit organizations to provide management services for a fee.
	NET Services. NET Services is comprised primarily of managing the delivery of non-emergency transportation services to Medicaid and Medicare beneficiaries. The entities that pay for non-emergency medical transportation services are primarily state Medicaid programs, health maintenance organizations and commercial insurers. Most of the Company’s non-emergency transportation services are delivered under capitated contracts where the Company assumes the responsibility of meeting the Medicaid covered benefit transportation needs of a specific geographic population.
	The basis of segmentation and measurement of segment profit or loss has not changed from that disclosed in the Company’s audited financial statements and notes included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
	The following table sets forth certain financial information (in thousands) attributable to the Company’s business segments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. In addition, none of the segments have significant non-cash items in operating income other than depreciation, amortization and asset impairment charges.

	The Company issues both option awards and restricted stock to employees and non-employee directors. Option awards and restricted stock generally vest in three equal installments on the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of grant. The fair value of option awards was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing formula and amortized over the option’s vesting periods, and the fair value of unvested restricted stock grants was determined based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The following table summarizes the stock option activity:

	The effect of issuing 1,139,145 shares of common stock on an assumed conversion basis related to the Notes was excluded in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 as it would have been antidilutive. The effect of issuing 1,182,989 and 1,193,618 shares of common stock on an assumed conversion basis related to the Notes was not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, as it would have been antidilutive. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, employee stock options to purchase 202,054, 497,075, 1,567,027 and 1,577,081 shares of common stock, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share as the exercise price of these options was greater than the average fair value of the common stock for the period and, therefore, the effect of these options would have been antidilutive.

	The Company’s effective tax rate from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 was 36.7% and 39.8%, respectively. These rates were higher than the United States federal statutory rate of 35.0% due primarily to state income taxes and non-deductible stock option expense, which were partially offset by the impact of disqualifying dispositions of incentive stock options.
	The Company’s effective tax rate from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 was 61.6% and 45.2%, respectively. These rates were higher than the United States federal statutory rate of 35.0% due to state income taxes, non-deductible stock option expense and lower projected income before income taxes, which was primarily due to the $2.5 million intangible impairment charge recorded in the third quarter of 2012. Additionally, the tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was favorably impacted by the final determination of the tax benefits related to certain liabilities assumed as a result of a 2011 acquisition.

In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.
	The Company has two deferred compensation plans for management and highly compensated employees. These deferred compensation plans are unfunded; therefore, benefits are paid from the general assets of the Company.

	The Company operates a call center in Phoenix, Arizona. The building in which the call center is located is currently leased by the Company from VWP McDowell, LLC (“McDowell”) under a five year lease that expires in 2014. The Company may terminate the lease with a six-month prior written notice. Certain immediate family members of Herman M. Schwarz (the chief executive officer of the Company’s NET Services segment and an executive officer of the Company) have a partial ownership interest in McDowell. In the aggregate these family members own an approximate 13% interest in McDowell directly and indirectly through a trust.

	The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of recurring accruals) considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. In order to conform to the current year presentation, prior year amounts have been reclassified to show human services revenues as one line item.
	The Company has made a number of estimates relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013. Management has evaluated events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date and through the date these consolidated financial statements were issued and considered the effect of such events in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements.
	The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2012 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

Description of Business [Policy Text Block]	'
	Description of Business
	The Company is a government outsourcing privatization company. The Company operates in the following two segments: Human Services and Non-Emergency Transportation Services (“NET Services”). During the third quarter of 2013, the Company changed the name of its Social Services segment to the Human Services segment. The name change was made as part of a rebranding effort to reflect the future vision of the Human Services business, and to better describe the broad spectrum of services it provides. The Human Services segment responds to governmental privatization initiatives in adult and juvenile justice, corrections, social services, welfare systems, education and workforce development by providing home and community-based services and foster care services to at-risk families and children. The NET Services segment provides non-emergency transportation management services primarily to Medicaid and Medicare beneficiaries. As of September 30, 2013, the Company operated in 43 states and the District of Columbia, in the United States, and in British Columbia and Alberta, Canada.

	New Accounting Pronouncements
	In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02-Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2013-02”). ASU 2013-02 is intended to improve the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. Accordingly, an entity is required to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in net income if the amount being reclassified is required under GAAP to be reclassified in its entirety to net income. For other amounts that are not required under GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income in the same reporting period, an entity is required to cross-reference other disclosures required under GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. The amendments in this ASU supersede the presentation requirements for reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income in ASU 2013-05 and ASU 2013-12. ASU 2013-02 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company adopted ASU 2013-02 effective January 1, 2013. The adoption of ASU 2013-02 did not have an effect on the consolidated financial statements.
