…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, overdose-related emergencies continue to impact families every week, and neighborhoods like Lealman are not immune. Substance use disorders affect people from every background, often quietly, until the consequences become impossible to ignore. If you or someone you love is ready to step out of that cycle, Real Recovery Solutions offers structured, 12-step–focused Lealman addiction treatment through our nearby St. Petersburg facility.
Our goal is to reduce the real-world impact of addiction in Lealman and throughout Pinellas County by providing accessible, honest care that helps clients rebuild their lives. Recovery is not about perfection. It is about showing up, staying accountable, and building a life that supports long-term sobriety. You do not have to do that alone.
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.

No two people come into recovery with the same history, responsibilities, or risks. That is why Real Recovery Solutions provides multiple levels of care that work together, allowing treatment to match where you are today and adapt as you make progress. Many clients also choose sober living to add structure and accountability while rebuilding independence.
Below is a snapshot of how our all of our facilities support clients from Lealman:
For residents of Lealman, receiving care through our St. Petersburg location makes it possible to access a full continuum of services without leaving the Tampa Bay area or disconnecting from local supports.
Trying to detox alone can be uncomfortable and dangerous, especially with alcohol, opioids, or benzodiazepines. At Real Recovery Solutions, detox is handled with medical oversight, compassion, and constant monitoring so your safety comes first.
Clients from Lealman can access supervised detox through our St. Petersburg facility, where medical staff help manage withdrawal symptoms and respond quickly to complications. Once detox is complete, our team helps you transition smoothly into inpatient or outpatient care so progress does not stall.
Substance use disorders often involve more than one substance, along with mental health stressors and life instability. Real Recovery Solutions treats the whole picture, not just the substance.
Our St. Petersburg facility provides targeted care for a range of substances commonly affecting clients from Lealman:
Each treatment plan is individualized, but the goal is always the same: long-term stability and a life no longer controlled by substances.
Heroin addiction impacts physical health, mental well-being, and relationships. Our program addresses all three through medical support, therapy, and strong peer accountability.
Clients from Lealman who attend heroin treatment in St. Petersburg work with therapists and peers to understand what drives use and how to build routines that support lasting recovery rather than repeated crisis.
Fentanyl remains one of the most dangerous substances in Florida due to its strength and unpredictability. Treatment focuses on safety first, followed by structure and accountability.
Our fentanyl program includes medically supervised detox when needed, overdose education and naloxone awareness, and ongoing treatment and sober living options.
For Lealman residents, getting help can mean moving from constant risk to real stability.
Cocaine addiction often escalates quietly, leading to financial strain, mental health issues, and damaged relationships. Our cocaine addiction treatment helps clients identify patterns and replace them with healthier coping strategies.
Clients from Lealman benefit from structured support that addresses both behavior and underlying stressors driving cocaine use.
Meth use can severely disrupt sleep, mood, and decision-making. Recovery requires consistency, structure, and strong support.
Our meth addiction treatment emphasizes stabilizing daily routines, addressing co-occurring mental health concerns, and building a sober support network through 12-step involvement.
Clients from Lealman work step by step toward rebuilding stability and trust in their own decision-making.
Dependence on benzodiazepines can develop slowly and is often overlooked until stopping feels impossible. Our approach prioritizes safety and long-term mental health.
Treatment for benzo use may include medical coordination, therapy focused on anxiety management, and peer support to help clients regain confidence without relying on medication.
Alcohol use can feel socially acceptable, even when it starts causing serious problems. Our alcohol treatment program focuses on honesty, accountability, and practical change.
Clients from Lealman learn to recognize patterns, manage triggers, and build support systems that make sobriety sustainable in everyday life.
Recovery is not only about formal treatment. For people living in Lealman, harm reduction and community-based resources can play an important role, whether someone is actively seeking rehab or still weighing their options. Access to safety tools, education, and basic support can save lives and help people stay connected until they are ready for the next step.
Countywide Naloxone Distribution and Overdose PreventionThe Florida Department of Health in Pinellas County (DOH-Pinellas) provides free naloxone kits and overdose prevention education to individuals at risk of opioid overdose, as well as family members and community members who may witness an overdose. These services are available throughout Pinellas County, including Lealman, and can be life-saving while someone considers treatment or waits for services to begin.
County Opioid-Abatement & Recovery InitiativesPinellas County uses opioid settlement and grant funding to expand access to addiction treatment, prevention, and recovery-oriented services. These initiatives support housing assistance, mental health care, community outreach, and connections to treatment providers. The goal is to keep residents safer, reduce overdose risk, and give people the stability and time needed to choose recovery when they are ready. These efforts help protect lives while strengthening families and neighborhoods across the county.
Recovery often requires more than clinical care alone. Stable housing, access to food, and basic financial support can make a meaningful difference, especially early on. Residents of Lealman can access several local organizations that help meet these needs while individuals focus on healing.
If someone enters treatment with Real Recovery Solutions, our case management team can help connect them to these and other community resources. Recovery is strongest when clinical care and real-world support work together, giving people the stability they need to stay focused on long-term change.

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.
