Mission Statement
Cipriano & Johnson Counseling mission to assist individuals and families suffering from addiction to engage in the recovery process through comprehensive treatment solutions an environment of dignity, respect and empathy and a belief that all people are capable of making positive changes in their lives.
Services
Cipriano and Johnson Counseling offers a full range of substance abuse, alcohol and drug addiction treatment services. We use the Recovery Dynamics treatment model that is designed to follow the program of recovery found in Alcoholics Anonymous. The Recovery Dynamics treatment model was developed by Joe McQuany who was the “Joe” in the “Joe and Charlie Big Book Workshop”. For more than 40 years Joe devoted himself to helping others to discover the joys of recovery through the program found in the original Twelve Steps.
The Recovery Dynamics program explains the problem and the solution and then provides a program of action, broken down into small, easily digestible pieces that will guide you through Steps 1 – 9 and then teach you how to integrate into the recovery community and build the support network needed to stay clean and sober and experience the joys of long term recovery.
Our counselors at Cipriano and Johnson are trained and certified in Recovery Dynamics. Ron Cipriano is a certified Recovery Dynamics trainer and has trained many counselors in the Jacksonville area to use the Recovery Dynamics program.
We offer both individual and group counseling. We also have our Adult Substance Abuse Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

Drug and Alcohol Treatment Philosophy
DISEASE CONCEPT OF ALCOHOLISM & DRUG ADDICTION – We view alcoholism and drug addiction as a disease, a progressive illness that affects the sufferer mentally, physically and spiritually. The addict suffers from an allergy of the body that produces a physical compulsion once the drug is ingested coupled with a mental obsession that ensures that once stopped, the addict can not, on their own resources, stay stopped. The addict is powerless
GOOD NEWS! – The good news is that there is a solution to “this seemingly hopeless condition of mind and body”. That solution is found in the program of action first outlined in the book “Alcoholics Anonymous”.
RECOVERY DYNAMICS© – The Recovery Dynamics treatment model was developed by Joe McQuany (Joe McQ.) who was the “Joe” in the “Joe and Charlie Big Book Workshop”. For over 40 years Joe devoted himself to helping others to discover the joys of recovery through the program found in the original Twelve Steps.
The Recovery Dynamics program explains the problem and the solution and then provides a program of action, broken down into small, easily digestible pieces that will guide you through Steps 1 – 9 and then teach you how to integrate into the recovery community and build the support network needed to stay clean and sober and experience the joys of long term recovery.
We use the Recovery Dynamics program and all our counselors are trained and certified in Recovery Dynamics. Ron Cipriano is a certified Recovery Dynamics trainer and has trained many counselors in the Jacksonville area to use the Recovery Dynamics program.
INITIAL ASSESSMENT – the initial assessment will help us to determine the proper level of treatment appropriate to your unique situation and then refer you to the treatment facility that will best meet your needs. You may need a medical detox, residential (inpatient) treatment, intensive outpatient (IOP) treatment and/or individual counseling. We will guide you to the best solution for you even if it may be a level of treatment that we do not provide. Our overriding concern is what is best for YOU!
Adult Drug and Alcohol Treatment
Adult drug and alcohol treatment is available in both our locations in Jacksonville and Jacksonville Beach. While we are primarily known for our Intensive Outpatient (IOP) program, we also offer individual counseling when that is indicated. The process begins with an initial assessment and then referral to the treatment mode that is best for you.
INTENSIVE OUTPATIENT (IOP) TREATMENT PROGRAMS
WHAT SETS US APART:
- YES! WE REALLY ARE LOCATED AT THE BEACH!! Our office is located very near the boundary between Jacksonville Beach and Ponte Vedra Beach.
- Certified & Licensed Counselors: All group and individual sessions are conducted by masters level Certified Addictions Professionals (MS CAP) and/or Licensed Mental Health Counselors (LMHC).
- Comprehensive Family Program: because addiction is a family disease.

- Options: You can choose to attend either our 3 day a week program or our 5 day a week program.
- Great Location: our Beach location is within walking distance to local half way and sober living houses and a short walk to the Atlantic Ocean.
- Six Month of Continued Care: Length of treatment has a high correlation with continued recovery. Therefore, our aftercare program is open to all alumni! Make sure to also join us for our monthly pizza party!
