…If your struggling like I was, give Real Recovery a shot cause it can help change your life like it changed mine.”
– Jamie Bilsky
In 2023, Hillsborough County recorded over 88,000 drug-related arrests, each one representing a person, not just a statistic. Many of these individuals are living with substance use disorder (SUD) and in need of support, not punishment.
At Real Recovery Solutions, we understand the human side of these numbers. That’s why we’re committed to helping reduce substance use disorder in Mango, FL, and across Hillsborough County through accessible, compassionate care.
If you’re ready to take the first step toward change, we’re ready to walk with you. At our Mango addiction treatment center, recovery isn’t just a possibility; it’s a goal we’ll help you achieve, one step at a time.
As the Clinical Director at Real Recovery Solutions, Carlos Escobar leverages over 15 years of experience in Substance Use Disorder Treatment, focusing on therapies like CBT and REBT to foster client self-understanding and acceptance. His commitment to innovative, personalized care aims to profoundly improve the lives of those battling addiction and related mental health challenges.

At Real Recovery, we consider ourselves a family. Our staff is hand-picked based on their personal experiences and successes with similar structure-oriented programs. Sometimes we have staff members that have graduated from our program and are looking to grow and mentor peers within the community they have learned from.
We all have unique skill sets that we utilize in a variety of ways whether it be home operations, resident relations, recovery community outreach, and more. We are all available to answer questions or provide resources to residents, families, and friends of people looking for recovery.

At our treatment facility, we provide personalized care through four levels: inpatient treatment, partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient programs (IOP), and outpatient care.
We also provide comprehensive services, including dual diagnosis treatment, medical detox, and sober living options. Each is designed to empower you on your way to lasting wellness.
Our partial hospitalization program(PHP) is thoughtfully designed to bridge the gap between inpatient treatment and outpatient care, helping you maintain momentum in your recovery while becoming more independent.
With the flexibility to return home in the evenings, PHP offers both full-day and half-day options to fit your schedule and lifestyle. You’ll continue to heal in a structured, supportive environment while taking important steps toward achieving daily stability.
Throughout the program, you’ll engage in a well-rounded mix of individual therapy, 12-step-based group sessions, psychoeducation, and practical skills development, all designed to strengthen your confidence, resilience, and readiness for long-term recovery.
Our intensive outpatient program (IOP) is ideal for individuals who require structured support while also maintaining their daily responsibilities.
IOP offers a balanced approach to recovery; you’ll participate in several therapy sessions each week, receiving focused care and guidance while continuing to work, attend school, or care for your family.
It’s designed to be a recovery that fits into your life without compromising the quality of your care.
Medical detox is often the first crucial step during recovery, and you don’t have to go through it alone.
At Real Recovery Solutions, we meet you exactly where you are, even if substances are still in your system. Our experienced clinical team will be by your side, closely monitoring your progress and prioritizing your safety and comfort at every step.
Detox is the beginning of your healing, and we’re here to help you start strong.
Real Recovery Solutions is proud to provide the largest network of sober living homes in Florida, creating a strong foundation for ongoing healing and growth.
Many of our outpatient clients choose to stay in our sober living residences, where they experience the stability, structure, and support essential for long-term recovery. These welcoming, home-like environments are more than just places to live; they’re spaces to grow.
Surrounded by a community of peers who understand recovery, you’ll form meaningful connections, support one another, and stay accountable as you continue moving forward with purpose and confidence.
At Real Recovery Solutions, we understand that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to healing. That’s why we’re committed to helping you find a way forward that truly works for you.
We understand that every person’s experience with substance use is different, and your Tampa addiction treatment should reflect that. Here, your care will be thoughtfully tailored to your unique needs, goals, and circumstances.
At Real Recovery Solutions, heroin addiction treatment is about healing from the inside out. We focus not only on your physical recovery but also on uncovering and addressing the root causes of addiction.
You’ll work one-on-one with a compassionate therapist and become part of a supportive, understanding community. Together, we’ll help you develop the strength, resilience, and life skills needed for lasting recovery.
Fentanyl addiction carries serious risks, but choosing fentanyl addiction treatment is a powerful and rewarding step toward reclaiming your life.
If you’re ready for help, we’re fully committed to providing the tools and support you need for lasting recovery. Whether you require 24/7 inpatient care or the stability of one of our sober living homes, we’ll guide you every step of the way as you build a strong foundation for a substance-free future.
What often starts as casual use to keep up with the party can quickly spiral into a serious addiction. At Real Recovery Solutions, our cocaine addiction treatment program is modified to meet your unique needs, empowering you to heal from cocaine’s grip.
Living with a meth addiction can affect every part of your life, but you don’t have to face it alone. We’re here to help you regain control and reclaim your future.
Our meth addiction treatment program offers a comprehensive approach, combining holistic care, 12-step support, and evidence-based therapies to guide you toward lasting recovery. Together, we’ll work hand in hand to discover the life you actually want.
Benzodiazepines are often prescribed to treat anxiety and other mental health conditions, but dependence can develop regardless of how use began. Whether your journey started with a prescription or another way, our benzodiazepine addiction treatment program offers compassionate support tailored to your recovery needs.
Through a comprehensive approach, including therapy, holistic treatments, and medication management, we’ll help you regain balance and move forward with strength and hope.
Our alcoholism treatment program is built on years of experience and a deep understanding of what it takes to heal. At Real Recovery Solutions, our mission is to empower you to overcome harmful drinking habits through a personalized blend of evidence-based therapies and skill-building techniques.
We believe in the power of accountability combined with genuine encouragement to help you unlock your full potential. Working closely with a dedicated therapist, you’ll explore the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, you’ll identify patterns that may be fueling your alcohol use and begin replacing them with healthier, more empowering coping strategies.
Beyond individual therapy, you’ll also find strength in the Real Recovery community, a supportive group of people who understand the courage it takes to fight alcohol use disorder and are thriving in sobriety.
At Real Recovery, we prioritize empowering you to discover the joy of a life without substance use. However, we also know that harm reduction offers an effective set of tools that reduces substance use and overdose deaths for people who are still in active addiction. There are resources in Hillsborough County designed to help individuals who haven’t yet achieved sobriety.
Get Naloxone in the Mail – If you’re living with an opioid use disorder, you can get Naloxone mailed directly to you. NEXT Harm Reduction and the Florida Harm Reduction Collective have partnered to provide this mail-based service to Floridians who are unable or unwilling to find in-person resources. This program takes your privacy seriously and follows strict protocols to protect your identity. You can request to get Naloxone by mail through an online portal. You will also be prompted to watch training videos on how to effectively use Naloxone.
IDEA Exchange – The IDEA Exchange is an organization that focuses on harm reduction in Hillsborough County. Similar to NEXT Harm Reduction, they distribute Naloxone, but they also provide other services. These include providing a needle exchange, testing for HIV and HCV, and on-site access to medication to treat OUD. Check their website to find out more about their times and locations of operation. You can also call them at (813) 606-9378.
Fentanyl Test Strips – Many people who sell illicit substances lace them with fentanyl to improve their profit margin. However, the opioid’s high potency makes it dangerous, especially if you haven’t built up a tolerance for it and aren’t expecting to take it. Fentanyl test strips became legal to buy in Florida in 2023. They’re simple to use and quickly let you know whether or not your substance is laced with fentanyl. These strips can be ordered cheaply and delivered discreetly to your door through online retailers, like Amazon.
SUD impacts your life in a variety of ways. If you need support while you get back on your feet, you’re not alone. There are many resources throughout Hillsborough County that will give you the tools you need to build a better life in recovery.
Transportation is important during recovery, but you don’t need a car to get around. You wouldn’t be the first person to lose their license or vehicle leading up to recovery. For the time being, there are other ways to find transportation. Look into getting a Hillsborough Area Regional Transit (HART) bus pass. You may be eligible for the Sunshine Line, which offers free bus passes and door-to-door transportation to residents of Hillsborough County who are living on a limited income or have a disability.
Finally a sober living that is about helping people on the road to recovery, that adheres to a set of strict standards to ensure the comfort and safety of the clients over an extra dollar being made. These guys practice integrity in an industry riddled with greed. They take sobriety very seriously and operate with professionalism.
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.
