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.

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:
| Level of care | Typical schedule/setting | Best fit for clients who… |
|---|---|---|
| Medical Detox (St. Petersburg) | 24/7 medical monitoring in a supervised setting | Need help getting substances safely out of the body |
| Inpatient Treatment | Live-on-site with round-the-clock support | Are in crisis or need a reset away from triggers |
| Partial Hospitalization (PHP) | Full or half days on campus, go home at night | Need intensive care but with some independence |
| Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) | Several sessions per week, flexible hours | Are working, in school, or caring for family |
| Outpatient (OP) | Weekly or biweekly therapy and groups | Need maintenance support to protect their gains |
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:
| Program | Common challenges addressed | Focus of care at Real Recovery Solutions |
|---|---|---|
| Heroin addiction treatment | Withdrawal, cravings, high relapse risk | Medical detox, therapy, and 12-step support to rebuild stability |
| Fentanyl addiction treatment | Overdose risk, fear, and polysubstance use | Safety planning, overdose education, and structured care |
| Cocaine addiction treatment | Binge use, mood crashes, relationship and work fallout | Coping skills, accountability, and relapse prevention |
| Meth addiction treatment | Sleep disruption, paranoia, energy swings | Holistic care, mental health support, and life skills |
| Benzodiazepine addiction treatment | Dependence after long-term use, anxiety rebound | Gradual, medically monitored approach and emotional support |
| Alcohol treatment | Heavy or daily use, legal issues, impact on family | Accountability, 12-step integration, and practical rebuilding |
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:
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:
| Resource | Services Offered |
|---|---|
| 📍Daystar Life Center | Healthy food pantry, rent and utility assistance, hygiene items, and other supports to help individuals and families move from crisis toward stability. |
| 📍First Contact (formerly 211 Tampa Bay Cares) | 24/7 crisis intervention and referrals to housing, food, mental health, addiction recovery, and financial assistance programs across Pinellas County (via 211 or texting ZIP code to 898211). |
| 📍Pinellas County Adult Emergency Financial Assistance | Short-term help with rent, utilities, transportation, and work-related expenses for qualifying adults facing sudden hardship. |
