…If your struggling like I was, give Real Recovery a shot cause it can help change your life like it changed mine.”

We offer five levels of personalized care to support you throughout your recovery journey: medical detox, inpatient treatment, partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient programs (IOP), and outpatient care.
To help you thrive at every stage, we also provide a wide range of comprehensive services, including dual diagnosis treatment and sober living options, each thoughtfully designed to empower you with the tools and support you need for lasting change.
Medical detox is often the first vital step toward recovery, and you don’t have to take it alone. At Real Recovery Solutions, we meet you exactly where you are, even if substances are still in your system. Our compassionate clinical team provides round-the-clock support, carefully monitoring your progress to ensure your safety, comfort, and stability throughout the detox process.
It’s the first step toward healing, and we’re here to help you take it with confidence.
Inpatient treatment offers a powerful foundation for those seeking intensive support in a safe, focused environment. With 24/7 care from our compassionate and experienced clinical team, you’ll never have to face recovery alone.
Here, you’ll also connect with peers who understand recovery, allowing you to build a community while healing together. In this structured setting, free from everyday stressors and triggers, we’ll help you address co-occurring mental health conditions and create the stability you need to focus fully on your growth and recovery.
Our partial hospitalization program (PHP) is thoughtfully designed to fill the gap between inpatient care and outpatient support, helping you stay grounded in your recovery while gradually regaining independence.
With the flexibility to return home each evening, PHP provides a structured and supportive environment that fosters ongoing healing. Choose between full-day or half-day options to fit your lifestyle and needs.
Throughout the program, you’ll participate in a well-rounded mix of individual therapy, 12-step-based group sessions, psychoeducation, and practical skill-building, each designed to strengthen your resilience and prepare you for long-term success in recovery.
Our intensive outpatient program (IOP) is a strong choice for those who need structured support while continuing to manage daily responsibilities.
Designed to offer both flexibility and focused care, IOP allows you to attend multiple therapy sessions each week, providing the guidance, accountability, and structure you need to stay on track. Whether you’re working, attending school, or caring for family, this practical and effective program fits seamlessly into your life without compromising the quality of your recovery.
Outpatient therapy (OP) offers steady, long-term support as you continue rebuilding your life in recovery. You’ll work one-on-one with a dedicated therapist who specializes in addiction treatment and is committed to helping you strengthen the tools, mindset, and strategies needed for lasting success.
As part of your care, you’ll also have access to a wide range of supportive services at Real Recovery, including substance use education, 12-step programming, and the flexibility to adjust your level of care as your needs evolve.
At Real Recovery Solutions, we’re proud to offer the largest network of sober living homes in Florida, providing a strong, stable foundation for continued growth and healing.
Many of our outpatient clients choose to live in these supportive, home-like environments, where they find more than just a place to stay; they find a place to thrive. Each residence fosters connection, accountability, and a sense of belonging.
Surrounded by peers who are also committed to recovery, you’ll build meaningful relationships, support one another, and move forward with renewed confidence and purpose.
At Real Recovery Solutions, we recognize that healing takes a unique form for each individual. That’s why we’re dedicated to helping you find a path that fits your unique needs. Your treatment should be as individual as your story.
Here, your care is thoughtfully customized, providing the strongest foundation possible for lasting recovery and a brighter future.

Benzodiazepines are commonly prescribed to treat anxiety and other mental health conditions, but dependence can develop, no matter how your use began. Whether your journey started with a prescription or another way, Real Recovery Solutions is here to help.
Our benzodiazepine addiction treatment program combines compassionate care with a comprehensive approach, including therapy, holistic treatments, and medication management. Together, we’ll work to restore balance in your life.
Our alcoholism treatment program is rooted in years of experience and a deep understanding of what it takes to heal. At Real Recovery Solutions, we’re committed to helping you eliminate harmful drinking patterns through a personalized blend of evidence-based therapies and practical skill-building techniques.
We believe lasting recovery is built on both accountability and compassionate support. With the guidance of a dedicated therapist, you’ll explore the connections between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, uncovering patterns that fuel alcohol use and learning healthier, more empowering ways to cope.
Beyond individual therapy, you’ll gain strength from the Real Recovery community, a network of people who know what it takes to overcome substance use and are thriving in sobriety. Through shared experiences and mutual encouragement, you’ll build confidence and move forward toward the life you truly deserve.
Living with a substance use disorder changes your life in innumerable ways. When you’re ready to start the recovery process, you’ll need support. Regardless of your specific needs, resources are available in Thonotosassa and the surrounding area. You deserve support during this pivotal moment in your life. Here at Real Recovery Solutions, we’ll work to connect you with the resources you need.
If you’ve lost your driver’s license or vehicle because of your substance use disorder, getting around is more complicated than it used to be. However, reliable transportation to and from treatment and meetings is crucial during recovery.
Another important aspect of achieving stability in recovery is securing steady employment. There are virtual and in-person resources in our area that can help you find a job that’s a good fit for you.
You can also use virtual job boards to find work. You can begin your search on websites like ZipRecruiter and Indeed. If you know there are certain companies in the area that you’d like to work for, you can also apply directly on their website. To search for jobs online, you’ll need access to the internet and a computer. You can visit the Thonotosassa branch of the Hillsborough County Public Library Cooperative and access a computer using your library card.

I have struggled for many years with a debilitating case of untreated alcoholism , until I made the life changing decision to come to Real Recovery St.Pete. With the support of staff, and residents alike, I am still sober sober 13 months later. I can not say enough good things about this place! Thank you Real Recovery!
I have been to other Sober Living houses and Real Recovery is the best. They drug test to keep people honest. They make sure clients are responsible and clean their house. The House Managers are awesome. If you are serious about recovery this is a great place to live. Several meetings on site.
Real Recovery is the best choice in all regards. Their facilities are amazing, the amount of work and money the owner puts into his properties is unmatched. The programs they have are also the best. House managers are also super involved, go to the same meetings and know what is going on with the clients.
I recently moved into Real Recovery and I have been very impressed! I came from a sober living situation in St. Pete but moved back home to Bradenton. If you are looking for a clean, sober living environment - this is it! Mark is a very open and relatable person to talk to. The men here are open, eager to help, and make you feel welcome.
I been in Real Recovery of Tampa for a month now and it was by far the best decision I ever made after completing 30 days of inpatient rehab at Turning Point. RR is teaching me how important it is to make friends in recovery and to get out of my comfort zone. Thank you to for welcoming and helping me on this journey in recovery.
