St. John's Recovery Place

Lakeside Setting Designed for Recovery

St. John’s Recovery Place sits on eight acres along Crescent Lake in Crescent City, Florida. The peaceful environment and access to nature create a restorative backdrop for people beginning treatment, offering space to step away from daily stressors and focus on health and stability.

Care That Adapts to Individual Needs

The center provides multiple levels of care, from medical detox to residential treatment, partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), and standard outpatient services. Medications such as buprenorphine and naltrexone are available to support safe withdrawal and relapse prevention. Programs also address co-occurring mental health conditions, ensuring clients receive integrated treatment for both substance use and emotional challenges.

Holistic Therapies and Specialized Programs

Beyond counseling and evidence-based practices like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and relapse prevention, SJRP offers therapies that engage the mind and body, including equine therapy, music and art therapy, mindfulness, neurointegration, and more. Specialized programming is available for veterans, military families, older adults, and people with trauma or histories of chronic pain, making care responsive to diverse needs.

Amenities and Long-Term Support

Recovery at SJRP includes comfortable semi-private rooms, chef-prepared meals, meditation spaces, and recreation such as basketball or ping pong. Off-site activities like boating or trips to natural springs, remind clients that connection and joy are part of healing. Before discharge, case management and aftercare planning connect individuals with outpatient services, alumni groups, sober living, and vocational resources to support long-term stability.
