…If your struggling like I was, give Real Recovery a shot cause it can help change your life like it changed mine.” – Jamie Bilsky
For clients living with addiction in Feather Sound, Florida, Real Recovery Solutions in St. Petersburg provides a clear and structured path to recovery. We focus on accountability and empower clients with practical tools and strategies to maintain real-world success beyond treatment.
Living in Feather Sound, with Old Tampa Bay to one side and the airport to the other, it can feel like there is no path but the path in front of you. However, when that path is unclear, your first step can be difficult. For those living with fentanyl addiction, the first step is always the hardest. It may be hard to start the journey to recovery, but with 1,234 fentanyl-related deaths on the Suncoast in 2024, there is no better time to start recovery than right now.
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.

CEO & Founder
At Real Recovery Solutions, we deliver a full continuum of care built for results. Each treatment plan is individualized, addressing the mind, body, and spirit with expert precision. Our approach combines trauma-informed individual therapy, peer-supported group sessions, and structured 12-step programs to provide comprehensive, effective support.
We serve clients at every stage of recovery, from medically supervised detox to outpatient programs. For men seeking structure and accountability, our sober living program reinforces routines, fosters community, and strengthens sustainable recovery.
Here’s what treatment at Real Recovery looks like in practice:
Heroin addiction often begins as a way to deal with pain, but it can rapidly create strong physical dependence, higher tolerance, and a loss of enjoyment in everyday life. Mental health challenges frequently accompany heroin use, making the recovery process seem even more difficult.
Effective heroin addiction treatment is individualized. Most clients start with a medical detox under 24/7 supervision. Following medical detox, a combination of individual and group therapies helps to address the underlying causes of addiction, while fostering structure, peer support, and accountability to guide clients toward lasting recovery.
Fentanyl is an extremely potent opioid that can rapidly affect mental and physical functioning. Those struggling with fentanyl addiction may feel unable to make decisions and experience ongoing anxiety and irritability.
Effective fentanyl addiction treatment starts with a comprehensive evaluation of the client’s needs, history, and experiences. From this foundation, therapy progresses through individual, family, and group sessions. Treatment programs often combine evidence-based techniques, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, with holistic practices like yoga, music therapy, and art therapy to support overall healing.
Many people with cocaine addiction begin to experience increased energy, improved confidence, or cope with daily demands. But repeated use can lead to strong dependence, making it hard to resist a return to use.
Cocaine addiction treatment begins by identifying the root causes of addiction, including mental health concerns and environmental influences. Each client then receives an individualized plan that integrates the 12-step program with both individual and group therapy, helping to build sustainable recovery skills.
Many people turn to meth to boost energy or stay productive, but what starts as manageable use can quickly evolve into dependence and addiction. Meth addiction can lead to isolation, lowered self-esteem, and difficulties in personal relationships, along with strong cravings and cognitive challenges.
At Real Recovery, we create personalized meth addiction treatment programs tailored to each client. Our sober living facility integrates the 12-step program with evidence-based therapies, including CBT, while addressing underlying causes such as mental health issues and environmental factors to help clients rebuild their lives.
Prescription drug addiction is defined by the misuse of medications beyond their prescribed purpose. Commonly misused drugs include opioids, benzodiazepines, and stimulants. Stimulants like Adderall and Ritalin, intended to treat ADHD, may provide heightened energy and focus to those without ADHD, potentially leading to dependence and tolerance.
Prescription drug addiction treatment at Real Recovery begins with a careful assessment and medical detox if needed. Our team evaluates physical and mental health to identify contributing factors and provides a full continuum of care, including individual and group therapy, medication-assisted treatment (MAT), and aftercare planning for sustained recovery.
Benzodiazepines, also known as Xanax, Klonopin, and Valium, are often prescribed to manage anxiety, insomnia, and panic disorders. While they can be effective at first, prolonged use can result in tolerance, dependence, and, over time, addiction.
At Real Recovery, we start benzodiazepine addiction treatment with a medical detox under continuous clinical supervision. Withdrawal symptoms can be intense, making around-the-clock care essential. Following detox, clients engage in individualized programs that provide therapeutic support and aftercare to help sustain long-term recovery.
Alcohol use disorder (AUD) involves a loss of control over drinking, resulting in physical and psychological dependence. Because every individual’s journey is different, treatment must be tailored to each person.
Treatment for alcohol addiction at Real Recovery begins with a medically supervised alcohol detox. After detox, clients will participate in our sober living program that is customized to their recovery goals. Our sober living programs provide structure, reduce exposure to triggers, and address the personal factors that contribute to alcohol addiction.

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.

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.
