Education Opportunities at Real Recovery Sober Living in St. Petersburg
We encourage every resident that can, to continue their education, even if it’s only a couple of classes each semester. Pursuing a degree and obtaining relevant certifications is one of the best ways to improve your economic mobility (ability to increase your income), quality of life, become self-sufficient, learn new skills, and prepare yourself for today’s evolving job market needs.
Did you know that as a resident at Real Recovery you can receive an exemption that covers the cost of tuition and access fees to attend St. Petersburg College? It’s true!
It gets better – our St. Petersburg sober living community is a short 19-minute bus ride (5 minutes by car) from SPC’s St. Petersburg/Gibbs Campus.
St. Petersburg College has something called a “Homeless Fee Exemption” program which is part of a statewide program (§ 31009.25, Fla. Stat.; 2020) to help individuals and families who want to create a better life but are experiencing less than ideal circumstances. Before you say, well I’m not homeless… well put your ego aside, remember we’re working on a program of willingness, honesty, and humility. Real Recovery is by definition “transitional housing” which means all residents meet the federal definition of “homeless.”
The University of South Florida also has a Homeless Tuition Waiver program, so if you’re interested in attending a more prestigious university then check out USF’s St. Petersburg Campus (a 30-minute drive from our Clearwater sober living house).
If you’re interested in continuing your education, our dedicated staff will help you make that a reality. This is one area we cover during intake where we discuss your goals – recovery, personal, professional, and education-wise.

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.
Dan B
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.
