Organization, Consolidation, Basis of Presentation, Business Description and Accounting Policies [Text Block]	1 . Organization and Basis of Presentation Description of Business The Providence Service Corporation (“we”, the “Company” or “Providence”) is a holding company, whose subsidiaries provide critical healthcare and workforce development services. We operate in three segments: Non-Emergency Transportation Services (“NET Services”), Workforce Development Services (“WD Services”) and Health Assessment Services (“HA Services”). NET Services coordinates non-emergency transportation for individuals whose limited mobility and/or financial resources would otherwise hinder them from accessing necessary healthcare and social services. WD Services primarily provides employability and offender rehabilitation services to eligible participants of government sponsored programs. HA Services provides care optimization and delivery solutions, including comprehensive health assessments (“CHAs”) for health plans as well as in-home care management offerings. Basis of Presentation The Company follows accounting standards set by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The FASB establishes accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants, which the Company is required to follow. References to GAAP issued by the FASB in these footnotes are to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the interim periods have been included. The Company has made estimates relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and certain disclosures to prepare these unaudited condensed 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, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016. Management has evaluated events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date and through the date these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were filed, and considered the effect of such events in the preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2015 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited condensed 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, 2015. Reclassifications We have reclassified certain amounts relating to our prior period results to conform to our current period presentation. On November 1, 2015, the Company completed the sale of the Human Services segment and, as such, operating results for this segment are reported as discontinued operations, net of tax in the condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. See Note 15, Discontinued Operations, . Effective January 1, 2016, the Company adopted ASU No. 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs

Notes to Financial Statements
Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements [Text Block]	2 . Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements The Company adopted the following accounting pronouncements during the six months ended June 30, 2016: In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The Company capitalizes debt issuance costs incurred in connection with its credit facilities, line-of-credit, and other borrowings (“deferred financing costs”), and amortizes such costs over the life of the respective debt liability. Upon adoption of ASU 2015-03 on January 1, 2016, the Company elected to present deferred financing costs for both its credit facilities and line-of credit arrangement as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the respective debt liability. Accordingly, deferred financing costs, net of amortization, totaling $3,774 at December 31, 2015 have been reclassified from “Other assets” to “Long-term obligations, less current portion” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Deferred financing costs and debt discounts, net of accumulated amortization, totaling $3,872 and $4,879 at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, are included in “Long-term obligations, less current portion” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis , Updates to the recent accounting pronouncements as disclosed in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 are as follows: In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-07, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net) Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-11, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815); Rescission of SEC Guidance Because of Accounting Standards Updates 2014-09 and 2014-16 Pursuant to Staff Announcements at the March 3, 2016 EITF Meeting Revenue Recognition Extractive Activities-Oil and Gas Additionally, ASU 2016-11 removed from the Codification the SEC Staff Announcement, “Determining the Nature of a Host Contract Related to a Hybrid Instrument Issued in the Form of a Share Under Topic 815,” which is codified in FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging , Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) There were no other significant updates to the new accounting guidance not yet adopted by the Company as disclosed in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures Disclosure [Text Block]	3 . Equity Investment The Company entered into a joint venture agreement in November 2014 to form Mission Providence Pty Ltd (“Mission Providence”). Mission Providence delivers employment services in Australia. The Company has a 60% ownership in Mission Providence, and has rights to 75% of Mission Providence’s distributions of cash or profit surplus twice per calendar year. The Company provided to Mission Providence $6,381 in capital contributions during the six months ended June 30, 2016, and may continue to provide further contributions in exchange for its equity interests. The Company determined it has a variable interest in Mission Providence. However, it does not have unilateral power to direct the activities that most significantly impact Mission Providence’s economic performance, which include budget approval, business planning, the appointment of key officers and liquidation and distribution of share capital. As a result, the Company is not the primary beneficiary of Mission Providence. The Company accounts for this investment under the equity method of accounting and the Company’s share of Mission Providence’s losses are recorded as “Equity in net loss of investee” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income. Cash contributions made to Mission Providence in exchange for its equity interests are included in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows as “Equity investments”. The investment is accounted for as part of the WD Services segment. The following table summarizes the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities included in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets and the maximum loss exposure related to the Company’s interest in Mission Providence as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015: Other Assets Accrued Expenses Maximum Exposure to Loss June 30, 2016 $ 6,943 $ - $ 6,943 December 31, 2015 $ 9,324 $ 4,654 $ 9,324 Accrued Expenses relate to future funding commitments required under the joint venture agreement pursuant to the Company’s 60% equity interest that have been approved by the Mission Providence joint venture Board. An additional AUD $2,000 (approximately $1,485 as of June 30, 2016) in future funding commitments required by the joint venture agreement have not been recognized as of June 30, 2016 because such commitments have not been approved for funding by the Mission Providence joint venture Board. Summary financial information for Mission Providence on a standalone basis is as follows: June 30, 2016 December 31, 2015 Current assets $ 9,356 $ 7,789 Long-term assets 18,180 8,869 Current liabilities 17,730 10,488 Long-term liabilities - - Three months ended June 30, 2016 2015 Revenue $ 9,693 $ - Operating loss (2,095 ) (1,726 ) Net loss (1,322 ) (1,203 ) Six months ended June 30, 2016 2015 Revenue $ 17,092 $ - Operating loss (6,523 ) (6,527 ) Net loss (4,296 ) (4,561 )

Preferred Stock [Text Block]	8 . Convertible Preferred Stock, Net The Company completed a rights offering on February 5, 2015 (the “Rights Offering”) providing all of the Company’s existing common stock holders the non-transferrable right to purchase their pro rata share of $65,500 of convertible preferred stock at a price equal to $100.00 per share. The convertible preferred stock is convertible into shares of Providence’s common stock at a conversion price equal to $39.88 per share, which was the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on October 22, 2014. Stockholders exercised subscription rights to purchase 130,884 shares of the Company's convertible preferred stock. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Standby Purchase Agreement (the “Standby Purchase Agreement”) between Coliseum Capital Partners, L.P., Coliseum Capital Partners II, L.P., Coliseum Capital Co-Invest, L.P. and Blackwell Partners, LLC (collectively, the “Standby Purchasers”) and the Company, the remaining 524,116 shares of the Company’s preferred stock were purchased by the Standby Purchasers at the $100 per share subscription price. The Company received $65,500 in aggregate gross proceeds from the consummation of the Rights Offering and Standby Purchase Agreement. Additionally, on March 12, 2015, the Standby Purchasers exercised their right to purchase an additional 150,000 shares of the Company’s convertible preferred stock, at a purchase price of $105.00 per share or a total purchase price of $15,750, of the same series and having the same conversion price as the convertible preferred stock sold in the Rights Offering. The Company may pay a noncumulative cash dividend on each share of convertible preferred stock, if and when declared by its Board of Directors, at the rate of five and one-half percent (5.5%) per annum on the liquidation preference then in effect. On or before the third business day immediately preceding each fiscal quarter, the Company must determine its intention whether or not to pay a cash dividend with respect to that ensuing quarter and will give notice of its intention to each holder of convertible preferred stock as soon as practicable thereafter. In the event the Company does not declare and pay a cash dividend, the Company will declare a paid in kind (“PIK”) dividend by increasing the liquidation preference of the convertible preferred stock to an amount equal to the liquidation preference in effect at the start of the applicable dividend period, plus an amount equal to the liquidation preference then in effect multiplied by eight and one-half percent (8.5%) per annum, computed on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed from the start of the applicable dividend period to the applicable date of determination. All holders of the Company’s convertible preferred stock are able to convert their convertible preferred stock into shares of common stock at a rate of approximately 2.51 shares of common stock for each share of convertible preferred stock. As of June 30, 2016, 1,602 shares of convertible preferred stock have been converted to 4,015 shares of common stock. Cash dividends are payable quarterly in arrears on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 of each year, which commenced on April 1, 2015, and, if declared, begin to accrue on the first day of the applicable dividend period. PIK dividends, if applicable, accrue cumulatively on the same schedule as set forth above for cash dividends and are also compounded at the applicable annual rate on each applicable subsequent dividend date. Cash dividends totaling $2,197 and $1,698 were distributed to convertible preferred stockholders for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The convertible preferred stock is accounted for outside of stockholders’ equity as it may be redeemed upon certain change in control events that are not solely in the control of the Company. Dividends are recorded in stockholders’ equity and consist of the 5.5%/8.5% dividend. At the time of issuance of the convertible preferred stock, the Company recorded a discount on convertible preferred stock related to beneficial conversion features that arose due to the closing price of the Company’s common stock being higher than the conversion price of the convertible preferred stock on the commitment date. The amortization of this discount was recorded in stockholders’ equity. The discount was fully amortized as of June 30, 2015. The following table summarizes the convertible preferred stock activity for 2016: Dollar Value Share Count Balance at December 31, 2015 $ 77,576 803,518 Conversion to common stock (12 ) (120 ) Allocation of issuance costs 1 - Balance at June 30, 2016 $ 77,565 803,398 As of June 30, 2016, the 803,398 outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock are convertible into 2,014,538 shares of common stock.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Text Block]	1 3 . Commitments and Contingencies Legal proceedings On June 15, 2015, a putative stockholder class action derivative complaint was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the “Court”), captioned Haverhill Retirement System v. Kerley et al., C.A. No. 11149-VCL. On May 6, 2016, the plaintiff filed a verified second amended class action and derivative complaint. In addition to the defendants named in the earlier complaint, the second amended complaint names Paul Hastings LLP (“Paul Hastings”) and Bank of America, N.A. (“BofA”) as additional defendants. In addition to previously asserted claims, the second amended complaint purports to assert direct and derivative claims for breach of fiduciary duties against Coliseum Capital Management, LLC (“Coliseum Capital Management”), in its capacity as the controlling stockholder of the Company, in connection with the subordinated note, the Company’s rights offering of preferred stock and the Standby Purchase Agreement with Coliseum Capital Management (the “Financing Transactions”). The second amended complaint also alleges that Paul Hastings breached their fiduciary duties as counsel to the Company in connection with the Financing Transactions and that BofA and Paul Hastings aided and abetted certain of the defendants in breaching their fiduciary duties in connection with the Financing Transactions. The second amended complaint seeks, among other things, revision or rescission of the terms of the subordinated note and preferred stock, corporate governance reforms, disgorgement of fees paid to RBC Capital Markets, LLC, Paul Hastings and BofA for work relating to the Financing Transactions, unspecified damages and other relief. On May 20, 2016, the Court granted a six-month stay of the proceeding from the date of such order to allow a special litigation committee, created by the Company’s board of directors, sufficient time to investigate, review and evaluate the facts, circumstances and claims asserted in or relating to this action and determine the Company’s response thereto. The special litigation committee’s review of the facts is ongoing. For further information regarding this legal proceeding please see Note 19, Commitments and Contingencies Commitments and Contingencies The Company has indemnified the Standby Purchasers from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, expenses and liabilities relating to or arising out of (i) any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking made by or on behalf of the Company in the Standby Purchase Agreement and (ii) the transactions contemplated by the Standby Purchase Agreement and the 14.0% Unsecured Subordinated Note in aggregate principal amount of $65,500, except to the extent that any such losses, claims, damages, expenses and liabilities are attributable to the gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud of such Standby Purchaser. The Company has also indemnified other third parties from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, expenses and liabilities arising out of or in connection with the Company’s acquisition of CCHN Group Holdings, Inc. (operating under the tradename Matrix, and now included in HA Services) in October 2014 and related financing commitments, except to the extent that any such losses, claims, damages, expenses and liabilities are found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such third parties, or a material breach of such third parties' obligations under the related agreements. The Company recorded $38 and $144 of such indemnified legal expenses related to this case during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, which is included in “General and administrative expenses” in the condensed consolidated statements of income. The Company recorded $1,249 and $1,806 in insured legal expenses related to this case during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, which is included in “General and administrative expenses” in the condensed consolidated statements of income and has been reduced partially by an insurance receivable. The Company has recognized an insurance receivable of $3,022 and $2,210 in “Other receivables” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, which is related to reimbursement of legal costs through insurance proceeds related to this legal proceeding. In addition to the matter described above, in the ordinary course of business, we are a party to various lawsuits. Management does not expect these lawsuits to have a material impact on the liquidity, results of operations, or financial condition of Providence. We also evaluate other potential contingent matters, including ongoing matters of our acquired companies that arose prior to our date of purchase. Our indemnification agreements or other agreements may not protect us from liability, even where the relevant matter existed prior to our ownership of the acquired companies. As of June 30, 2016, HA Services has certain malpractice claims that arose prior to our date of purchase. We believe it is reasonably possible that a loss has occurred; however, we are not able to reliably estimate the amount of such loss. Although, we do not believe that the aggregate amount of liability reasonably possible with respect to these matters would have a material adverse effect on our financial results, litigation is inherently uncertain and the actual losses incurred in the event that our legal proceedings were to result in unfavorable outcomes could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial performance. Other Indemnifications The Company has provided certain standard indemnifications in connection with the sale of the Human Services segment effective November 1, 2015. All representations and warranties made by the Company in the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) to sell the Human Services segment survive through the 15 th The Company has received indications from the purchaser of the Human Services segment regarding potential indemnification claims. Deferred Compensation Plan The Company has one deferred compensation plan for highly compensated employees of NET Services as of June 30, 2016. The deferred compensation plan is unfunded, and benefits are paid from the general assets of the Company. The total of participant deferrals, which is reflected in “Other long-term liabilities” in the consolidated condensed balance sheets, was $1,379 and $1,247 at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Basis of Presentation The Company follows accounting standards set by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The FASB establishes accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants, which the Company is required to follow. References to GAAP issued by the FASB in these footnotes are to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the interim periods have been included. The Company has made estimates relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and certain disclosures to prepare these unaudited condensed 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, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016. Management has evaluated events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date and through the date these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were filed, and considered the effect of such events in the preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2015 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited condensed 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, 2015.
