Ron Cipriano & Associates Counseling
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 coupled with a mental obsession that ensures that once stopped, the addict can not, on their own resources, stay stopped.

The addict remains powerless. Adult drug and alcohol treatment is available at both of our locations. While we are primarily known for our Intensive Outpatient Program, we also offer individual counseling when that is indicated. The process begins with an initial assessment and then referral to the treatment plan that is best for you.

This is for the Baymeadows location, as it's the one I have experience with. The staff are very accommodating and professional. The counseling I received was more than I ever expected. I highly recommend this place. You won't be disappointed!

The Baymeadows team at Cipriano and Johnson counseling has given our family the right tools to help our adult son sustain sobriety for what’s been the longest period in over ten years. The very knowledgeable, personable, and sincerely caring Amy Young has been our counselor, and she’s changed our lives for the better in a lasting way. Through the Intensive Outpatient Program, Amy and other counselors here have helped my son, and our entire family, understand what addiction is, and have equipped us with the knowledge to prevent relapse. Our son now puts on his imaginary sobriety tool belt each

I'd recommend searching for a group that wants your business. 1- took 2 referrals to get a call back 2- no call to inform me of pricing prior to appointment 3- "consultation" is nothing of the sort. Nothing but paperwork for $70. 4- When questioned about the practice, I was told that it doesn't matter that I don't like the practice, or the way… they conduct business, it's mandatory, and they don't care. 5- Because it's "mandated" (according to Ron)- there is a take it or leave it attitude. Funny, I thought they would want to earn my business. 6- Nepotism is strong here. 7- Cheapest is never

A better quality of life and a spiritual way of life in which I live every single day is what I have gotten after participating in Ron's program. I was a lost cause and I had know idea who I was, or what I wanted to do in my life. Drugs and alcohol had consumed my life, UNTIL I met Ron. Ron literally saved my life, by teaching and suggesting certain steps and a better way of life. I have a year and a half sober today, and my life could not be better. I have rebuilt the relationships with my family members, have formed friendships that I never knew existed until I got sober, and am overall, a better

I came to Ron's program after several bouts with alcohol, where once I had a drink I no longer could determine when I would stop. I was both terrified and frustrated. Through the Recovery Dynamics method Ron, Steve and Christy helped me gain understanding of the build up of emotions and my inability to manage them. They have provided me with structure to process these now. I would recommend Ron's program to anyone looking to better their life and regain their peace of mind.

I would not have made it to where I am today without the help of Ron Cipriano. He is the best expert in his field. His program was able to educate me, and give me the tools I needed to stop the insanity. I have been able to remain sober and happy for over a year. I know I could not have done it on my own. I know because I tried, many times, over a ten year period. I am now living the life I want to live. The life that alcohol and opioids destroyed. I have a very good life today because of Ron's program.

If you are looking for a better quality of life than the one you're currently living. I would highly, highly suggest Ron Cipriano and Associates. I was lost in the Fog of Alcohol for 25 years and thought I would never escape. I've been going to him for the past 5 weeks and have 42 days Clean and Sober. Finally enjoy waking up in the mornings and Living Life.... He provides tools and information I need to stay clean..... As one Reviewer said..... Ron and his team are the REAL DEAL............

Ron Cipriano and his team are the real deal. When I was in need of some serious help, I was lucky enough to find them and work Ron's program. As someone who went through counseling here and personally experienced a life-saving transformation, I am proud and eager to recommend Ron and his team to anyone and everyone who needs to reach out for help. Ron and his crew run a tight ship, which is what I personally needed to start my life in recovery. I have made many, many connections now through Ron and his program, and am a true believer. A truly awesome experience.

I've known Ron since he moved to Jacksonville about 14 years ago. Ron is one of the most dedicated and knowledgeable alcoholism counselors I have ever known. He is very well regarded in the local recovery community. The thing I like the most is that he will tell the truth even when the truth hurts. I know he has saved many lives by acting this way.
I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone who thinks they have a problem with alcohol or drugs and wants to change their life.
