Who We Can Help Stay Sober

Our residential addiction treatment and recovery programs are designed to help men and women who are new to recovery, recently completed an inpatient rehab or detox program, are returning after a relapse, or recognize the need for a more structured and accountable environment to maintain long term sobriety. Through residential treatment, outpatient addiction treatment, and recovery housing, Real Recovery provides a full continuum of care for individuals struggling with substance abuse, alcohol addiction, drug addiction, and co occurring mental health disorders.

Recovery is not easy, but it is far more rewarding than the life many people experience during active addiction. A life free from drugs and alcohol creates the opportunity to rebuild relationships, improve mental and physical health, rediscover purpose, and create a stable future.

At Real Recovery, we emphasize personal accountability, evidence based addiction treatment, and long term recovery support. Every client who walks through our doors is responsible for their own recovery, while our team provides the structure, clinical guidance, and supportive environment needed to succeed. Through residential inpatient treatment, PHP, IOP, relapse prevention planning, 12 Step integration, and peer support, clients gain the tools necessary to build lasting sobriety.

Many of the men and women who have completed our addiction treatment programs and recovery housing services remain sober today and continue living productive and fulfilling lives. While we cannot force anyone to stay sober or fully engage in recovery, we can provide the resources, accountability, and support system that make long term recovery possible. The willingness to take action and commit to change is what transforms recovery into a new way of life.

    What We Offer You

    How Our Residential Treatment Program Goes Beyond
    Traditional Sober Living

    How Our Approach Beats the Sober Living Status Quo

    Truly Modern Apartment-Style Living
    Each of our apartments offers true apartment style living with newly renovated spaces, modern appliances, high speed internet, and comfortable furnishings designed to support recovery in a safe and welcoming environment. Residents in our residential treatment and recovery programs benefit from clean, structured housing that promotes stability, accountability, and long term success in sobriety.
    Consistent Random Alcohol & Drug Testing Weekly
    Residents in our residential treatment and recovery programs are breathalyzed and drug tested multiple times each week to help maintain a safe, structured, and accountable recovery environment. These services are included as part of our program because we believe protecting the safety and sobriety of our community should never create additional financial stress for clients or their families.
    Equality Without Exceptions Among Residents
    Our program administrators and staff are committed to creating a professional, respectful, and supportive recovery environment for every resident. Rather than operating from a place of punishment or control, our team focuses on guidance, accountability, and compassionate support throughout the treatment and recovery process. To ensure consistency and fairness, all residential treatment and recovery housing locations follow the same standards, expectations, and operational procedures. This structured approach allows every client to be treated with professionalism, respect, and equal support while building the foundation for long term sobriety.
    Exceptionally Well-Maintained Properties
    Our residential treatment and recovery housing programs are designed to exceed the standards commonly associated with traditional sober living. We are committed to providing clean, modern, and professionally managed environments because every person deserves the opportunity to rebuild their life with dignity, respect, and the highest quality care possible.
    Mind, Body, & Spirit Comprehensive Approach
    We emphasize the importance of hard work, personal growth, and self care through healthy routines, wellness focused activities, and evidence based treatment designed to help clients improve every aspect of their lives physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
    We’re Accredited & Industry Acclaimed
    We are certified by the Florida Association of Recovery Residences, licensed by the Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF), and accredited by The Joint Commission. Real Recovery is also recognized by leading national organizations in the addiction treatment and recovery industry for maintaining high standards of care, accountability, safety, and client support across our residential treatment and recovery programs.
    More Resources To Help You Succeed Quickly In Sobriety
    Real Recovery provides a comprehensive range of addiction treatment, recovery support, and life development services designed to help men and women achieve long term sobriety. From residential treatment and outpatient care to recovery housing, career resources, education support, and peer mentorship, our programs are built to support every stage of the recovery journey. Visit our resources page to learn more about the services and support available to our clients and families.
    We Confront the Disease of Addiction Head-On
    Because many members of our team are in recovery themselves, we understand the unhealthy patterns, thinking, and behaviors that often accompany addiction. Our staff is committed to maintaining accountability and addressing destructive behaviors in a direct, respectful, and supportive way. We do not enable old habits or unhealthy patterns, because real recovery requires honesty, growth, and personal responsibility.
    Structured and Clean, Not Militant Sober Living
    Our residential treatment and recovery programs are structured to promote accountability, stability, and personal growth without creating an overly restrictive environment. We expect residents to maintain clean living spaces, treat others with respect, and apply the principles of the 12 Steps in their daily lives. This balance of structure, community, and personal responsibility helps clients build healthy habits that support long term recovery and success outside of treatment.

    Need Help Choosing a Sober 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.
