…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 Pinellas County, a life is lost to a drug overdose about every 43 hours. Even as Florida has started to see fewer opioid deaths overall, thousands of families are still living with the daily reality of addiction, grief, and uncertainty.
If you are ready to step out of that cycle and start something different, Real Recovery Solutions is here to walk with you through Largo addiction treatment, supported by our nearby St. Petersburg location.
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.

Your story, history, and responsibilities are your own, so your treatment plan should never feel generic. At Real Recovery Solutions, we offer five coordinated levels of care so that support can grow and change with you over time. These include medical detoxification, inpatient treatment, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient care, and traditional outpatient services.
Many clients also stay in our sober living homes for up to a year, giving them time and structure to practice real recovery skills in daily life.
Here is a quick overview of how our core programs throughout Florida work together:
From your first phone call, our team focuses on matching you to the right level of care and adjusting it as you grow. For clients in Largo and across Pinellas County, that means comprehensive treatment close to home, backed by strong case management, 12-step programming, and one of Florida’s largest sober living networks.
Detox is often the first major step in recovery, and it can feel intimidating. You do not have to push through it on your own. At Real Recovery Solutions, our medical team monitors you around the clock, helps manage withdrawal symptoms, and keeps safety at the center of every decision.
If alcohol, opioids, or other substances are still in your system, supervised detox can lower your risk of complications and help you start treatment with a clearer mind and more stable body. For clients in Largo and nearby communities, this care is available just a short drive away at our St. Petersburg location, so you can begin recovery in a safe, supportive environment rather than an emergency room or at home alone.
Addiction almost never looks exactly the same from one person to the next. You may be dealing with one primary substance or several. You might have a history of trauma, depression, anxiety, or chronic pain that has never really been addressed. At Real Recovery Solutions, we look at the full picture so that your treatment plan makes sense for your actual life.
Our facilities serve clients from Largo and throughout Tampa Bay with targeted services for alcohol and multiple substances, always with a 12-step, community-focused approach.
Here is an overview of some of our core substance-specific programs:
Every treatment plan is individualized, but the goal stays the same: help you move from surviving day to day into building a life that feels worth protecting.
Recovering from heroin use involves much more than getting through withdrawal. Our heroin addiction program is designed to address the physical, emotional, and spiritual sides of this addiction.
Clients work closely with therapists and peer supports to:
For clients in Largo and Pinellas County, care is close enough to be practical yet structured enough to support deep change.
Fentanyl has changed the landscape of overdose and addiction in Florida. It is powerful, unpredictable, and often present even when people think they are taking something else – like heroin, cocaine, or even marijuana. Asking for help is not a sign of weakness. It is a move toward survival and stability.
Our fentanyl treatment services include:
The goal is not only to stop use, but also to help you create a life where returning to fentanyl no longer feels like an option.
Cocaine addiction can sneak up on people. Weekend use can drift into weekdays. Spending increases. Sleep and mood become unpredictable. Our cocaine program helps clients get honest about the impact of use and learn how to live differently.
In treatment, we focus on:
For clients in Largo, our nearby St. Petersburg location offers care that is close, consistent, and grounded in real-world accountability.
Meth use affects thinking, mood, sleep, and physical health. It can also cause deep shame and isolation. At Real Recovery Solutions, we take a direct but compassionate approach. We know meth addiction is serious. We also know people can and do recover from it.
Our program combines:
Medications like Xanax, Ativan, and Valium are often prescribed for anxiety, sleep, or other mental health concerns. Over time, though, the body can become dependent, and stopping suddenly can be risky. Benzodiazepine recovery should always be handled carefully and with medical oversight.
At Real Recovery Solutions, our benzodiazepine services include:
For clients in Largo and Pinellas County, this is an opportunity to step out of dependence and learn safer, more sustainable ways to manage mental health.
Heavy or daily drinking can feel normal in social cultures like Florida’s beach and bar scene, but over time it can erode health, relationships, and self-respect. Our alcoholism treatment program is built to address both the behavior and the deeper reasons behind it.
Clients in Largo who come to our St. Petersburg location can expect:
You will be surrounded by others who are also learning how to live without alcohol, one day at a time.
Recovery often involves more than treatment. Harm reduction and community resources can save lives and keep doors open, even for people who are not yet ready for formal rehab. In Largo and across Pinellas County, several organizations are working hard on this front.
🏥 DOH-Pinellas Naloxone DistributionThe Florida Department of Health in Pinellas County offers free naloxone (Narcan) at several locations. Residents can call 727-824-6900 to find pickup locations, learn how the kits work, and ask questions.
🏥 IDEA Pinellas Syringe Services ProgramIDEA Pinellas operates a syringe services program in South St. Petersburg that provides sterile supplies, safe disposal, HIV and hepatitis C testing, and connections to care. Services are anonymous and focused on reducing harm, whether or not someone is ready to stop using.
🏥 Florida Harm Reduction Collective & Mail-Order NaloxoneThe Florida Harm Reduction Collective, based in St. Petersburg, has been mailing free naloxone kits statewide since 2022, averaging hundreds per month. This option is helpful for people who cannot easily access in-person services or who prefer a more discreet way to keep naloxone on hand.
These resources are not a substitute for treatment, but they can keep people alive and safer until they are ready for the next step.
Addiction often goes hand in hand with financial stress, food insecurity, or unstable housing. Getting help in these areas can make it much easier to focus on recovery. Clients in Largo may find the following local resources helpful:
If you choose to enter care with Real Recovery Solutions, our case management team can help you connect with these and other local services as part of your overall recovery plan.
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.
