Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure and Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]	'
	1. Basis of Presentation, Description of Business, Significant Accounting Policies and Pending Accounting Pronouncements
	Basis of Presentation
	The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (the “consolidated financial statements”) include the accounts of The Providence Service Corporation (“the Company,” “our,” “we” and “us”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including Ingeus Limited and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, “Ingeus”) which were acquired on May 30, 2014.
	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 interest expense and interest income as interest expense, net. Additionally, prior year management fee receivables have been included in other receivables for comparable presentation purposes.
	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 six months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014. 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, 2013 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, 2013.
	Description of Business
	The Company provides and manages primarily government sponsored non-emergency transportation, human and workforce development services. As a result of the Ingeus acquisition, the Company operates in three segments, Non-Emergency Transportation Services (“NET Services”), Human Services and Workforce Development Services (“WD Services”). The NET Services segment manages transportation networks and arranges for client transportation to health care related facilities and services for state or regional Medicaid agencies, managed care organizations (“MCOs”) and commercial insurers. In our Human Services segment, our counselors, social workers and behavioral health professionals work with clients, primarily in the client’s home or community, who are eligible for government assistance due to income level, emotional/educational disabilities or court order. The WD Services segment provides outsourced employability programs. As of June 30, 2014, the Company operated in 41 states and the District of Columbia in the United States, and in 11 other countries.
	Significant Accounting Policies
	Foreign currency translation
	Local currencies generally are considered the functional currencies outside the United States. Assets and liabilities for operations in local-currency environments are translated at month-end exchange rates of the period reported. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rate for each applicable month. Cumulative translation adjustments are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity.
	Pending Accounting Pronouncements
	In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606 (“ASU 2014-09”). This ASU will supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, an entity should apply the following steps:
		●	Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer.
		●	Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract.
		●	Step 3: Determine the transaction price.
		●	Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract.
		●	Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
	For a publicly held entity, this ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

	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 certain of their services. Management expected that due to this change in funding, the not-for-profit entities would not be able to maintain their historical level of business, which was 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 $492 in its Human Services operating segment to eliminate the carrying value of goodwill acquired in connection with its acquisition of Rio. This charge is included in “Asset impairment charge” in the condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.
	The total amount of goodwill that was deductible for income tax purposes for acquisitions as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $38,117 and $36,870, respectively.
	Intangible Assets
	Intangible assets are comprised of acquired customer relationships, trademarks and trade names, developed technology, management contracts and restrictive covenants. The Company valued customer relationships and the management contracts acquired based upon expected future cash flows resulting from the underlying contracts with state and local agencies to provide human services in the case of customer relationships, and management and administrative services provided to the managed entity with respect to acquired management contracts.
	Intangible assets consisted of the following:

Below are the three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
	Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
	Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
	Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
	The Company may be required to pay additional consideration in relation to certain acquisitions based on the achievement of certain earnings targets. Acquisition-related contingent consideration is initially measured and recorded at fair value as an element of consideration paid in connection with an acquisition with subsequent adjustments recognized in other operating expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of income. The Company determines the fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration, and any subsequent changes in fair value using a discounted probability-weighted approach. This approach takes into consideration Level 3 unobservable inputs including probability assessments of expected future cash flows over the period in which the obligation is expected to be settled and applies a discount factor that captures the uncertainties associated with the obligation. Changes in these unobservable inputs could significantly impact the fair value of the obligation recorded in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and operating expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of income. The fair value of the Company’s contingent consideration was $47,755 at June 30, 2014, and is included in other long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. There has been no change in the fair value of the contingent consideration from amounts originally estimated.

	The carrying amount of the long-term obligations approximated their fair value at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. 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 May 28, 2014, the Company entered into the first amendment (the “First Amendment”) to its Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement, dated August 2, 2013 (the “Credit Facility”) 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 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 expense of option awards was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes 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.

	During the second quarter of 2014, the Company and the sellers of WCG International Ltd. (“WCG”), a wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, entered into Amendment No. 1 to a Settlement and Indemnification Agreement which authorized WCG to enter into an agreement with the province of British Columbia, Canada to settle an ongoing dispute for approximately $1,500 CAD ($1,406). Additionally, the sellers of WCG agreed to reimburse WCG certain legal expenses up to a maximum of approximately $120 CAD ($112) upon settlement with British Columbia.
	On June 6, 2014, British Columbia agreed to the settlement of the dispute for approximately $1,500 CAD ($1,406), which was paid by WCG. Subsequently, the sellers of WCG surrendered 39,162 exchangeable shares of PSC of Canada Exchange Corp. (“PSC”) to fulfill their obligation to the Company for the settlement of the dispute with British Colombia and the reimbursement of certain legal fees. These shares were converted to shares of the Company and transferred to treasury. Additionally, the remaining 222,532 exchangeable shares of PSC were exchanged into shares of common stock of the Company and distributed to the sellers of WCG, thus eliminating the related non-controlling interest balance at June 30, 2014.

	The effect of issuing 1,139,145 shares of common stock on an assumed conversion basis related to the convertible senior subordinated notes (“Senior Notes”) was excluded in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2013 as it would have been antidilutive, however, they were included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as they had a dilutive effect. The convertible senior subordinated notes were fully repaid on May 15, 2014. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, employee stock options to purchase 474,167 and 1,575,597 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 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 was 39.8% and 40.6%, respectively. For both periods, the Company’s effective tax rate was higher than the United States federal statutory rate of 35.0%, due primarily to state income taxes as well as non-deductible stock option expense. In addition, a significant amount of the expenses incurred in connection with the Ingeus acquisition in the second quarter of 2014 were not deductible for tax purposes, which resulted in an increase in the effective tax rates for both periods in 2014.

In addition, on May 30, 2014, the Company issued restricted shares of the Company’s common stock and payment of cash to the former shareholders of Ingeus with a combined value of GBP £14,346 ($24,097), subject to a vesting schedule of 25% per year over a four year period which is accounted for as a compensatory arrangement. The foreign currency translations above were based on the conversion rate on May 30, 2014.
	Ingeus has operations in 10 countries and four continents. It is a distributed workforce development company and market leader in outsourced employability programs, operating in the social improvement, employment and welfare services markets. The acquisition expands the Company’s presence into new, international markets, diversifies its customer base, and enhances its workforce development expertise globally.

	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 interest expense and interest income as interest expense, net. Additionally, prior year management fee receivables have been included in other receivables for comparable presentation purposes.
	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 six months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014. 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, 2013 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, 2013.

Cumulative translation adjustments are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity.
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Pending Accounting Pronouncements
	In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606 (“ASU 2014-09”). This ASU will supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, an entity should apply the following steps:
		●	Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer.
		●	Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract.
		●	Step 3: Determine the transaction price.
		●	Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract.
		●	Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
	For a publicly held entity, this ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
