See What Our Residents Have to Say About Real Recovery

We could go on and on about why Real Recovery works, what sets us apart, and all the accreditations we have but the story of our success, we believe, can be best summed up by the experiences of our graduates/alumni and their families over the years.

Are You Ready To Beat Down Addiction?

We can't guarantee that you will stay sober for the rest of your life or be a millionaire in a year.

What you achieve in sobriety is entirely based on your own effort in recovery.

What we can guarantee is that residents who are willing to follow simple suggestions, be honest, and genuinely put in the rigorous effort required... their lives will change for the better, dramatically in a lot of cases.

We like to keep it simple. Our admissions process is straightforward. Here are the steps you need to take:

  1. Complete our admissions form on this page.
  2. Schedule a time to speak with one of our program administrator. We will discuss your alcohol or substance use history, your goals (recovery, personal, professional, and education), and learn about each other to ensure Real Recovery is the best fit for your needs.
  3. Remain clean and able to pass an 80-hour alcohol test and multi- panel drug test on the day of your intake.
  4. Program fees ($850 per month + $150 one-time administration fee) are due on the day of intake.
  • Please enter a number from 18 to 90.
  • Let staff know if you are interested in attending school again and how we can help
  • Write "No" for Unemployed
  • (No, we won't be mailing you anything)
  • If no, speak with staff.
  • All information is confidential.
  • Please name any and all diagnosis.
  • Prescription name, Dose size, and Frequency
  • (N/A for not in treatment)
  • As a reminder, all information is completely confidential.

Sober Living That Measures Success

As the largest sober living program in Florida, we need to measure the success rates of graduates (alumni) to ensure we are always improving our people, processes, and program to give everyone who walks through our door the best fighting chance at long-term sobriety.

We found that men who actively participate at one of our six sober living communities and complete the 12-step program of their choosing before graduating Real Recovery are significantly more likely to obtain long-term sobriety.

Find The Best Sober Living Home Location

Whether you want to be close to home, work, the beach, or right next door to a university, one of our properties is sure to align with your goals in sobriety.

While we all suffer from a common denominator – the disease of addiction and maladaptive coping mechanisms, many of us have walked different paths to arrive at the doorstep of recovery.

Our highly trained recovery specialists and house managers can help you identify which location may best suit your needs based on your unique experience, goals, work history, and the availability or lack of transportation so you or your loved one has the best opportunity to not only remain sober but rebuild all aspects of their life.
