Tranquil Shores History & Mission

Who We Are

When you are recovering from drug and alcohol addiction, your journey matters. At Tranquil Shores, we invest in every detail of the recovery process. Our beachside drug and alcohol rehab facility is dedicated to providing unique and personalized therapy to those looking for help with substance use disorders in Florida.

While you settle into our luxury community housing, we will craft an individualized treatment plan to help you overcome your addiction, once and for all. Our substance use counselors use every available resource to help you address your specific needs. Because our client-to-counselor ratio is so small (3 clients to every counselor), you will get the special attention you need and have an opportunity to dive deeper into your therapy, recovery, and discovery.

Meet Chad Johnson, Founder and CEO of Tranquil Shores

For most people, growing up in an upscale neighborhood in Dallas and being a successful stockbroker would be a great life. What, then, would induce someone to abandon that job, desert family members, and take up quarters in the musty interior of a parked car in Tampa? The answer: substance abuse.

The first and last thing on my mind each day was where I’d get my next drink or anything that would change the way I feel,” said Chad Johnson, now 48 and living comfortably in St. Petersburg. “Nothing else mattered.”

Johnson; the son of Jimmy Johnson, the former football coach of the Miami Hurricanes, the Dallas Cowboys, and the Miami Dolphins; fought a 20-year battle with substance abuse before turning his life around. Today, he runs Tranquil Shores addiction recovery center near St. Petersburg, which specializes in an individualized approach to recovery.

About a decade ago I set out to start a treatment facility that could address all aspects of someone’s substance abuse and mental health issues,” said Johnson, who applied his experience in finance to build a solid business base. From that beginning, Tranquil Shores has grown into a 24-bed facility with numerous employees. The clinical office is in Madeira Beach and the residence overlooks the Gulf of Mexico.

Who We Treat

All adults 18 and older who struggle with addiction are welcome at Tranquil Shores. No matter where you are in your recovery journey, we can help. Some of our clients are experiencing the consequences of addiction for the first time, and others are coming to us after past attempts at recovery. We design our unique treatment plans for your personal success, and many of our clients see Tranquil Shores as both a sanctuary and the start of their long-term sobriety.

Our clinical team of addiction experts takes advantage of treatment techniques that promote your overall well-being. Collectively, we refer to these techniques and processes as the Integrative Recovery Model (IRM). IRM is an effective tool in drug and alcohol abuse treatment, and our counselors put it to use in our comfortable, calming beachfront facility. We give you the strategies you need for success, and our recovery model works – even for people who have been unable or unwilling to accept traditional treatment methods. IRM also works for individuals with post-acute withdrawal symptoms.

We make our treatment accessible by accepting most major insurance plans.

Please call us at (727) 391-7001 or contact us online to verify your insurance coverage and take the first step on the road to recovery today.

Life is so much better after recovery. I'm in better spirits. I can conquer almost anything on my own. And I couldn't be happier.

Recovery is about the beginning of a new life and not about dwelling on what you might have done in the past. The counseling, along with the spiritual basis for the counseling is second to none!

I had this act going like I was this great student and daughter and I was absolutely dying inside. Luckily I was blessed with amazing parents that talked to Chad Johnson and they figured out a way to get me to Tranquil Shores.
