…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, substance use continues to affect families in every community, including Safety Harbor. While Florida has seen some improvement in overall opioid death rates, overdose-related emergencies and alcohol-related harm remain a serious concern across Tampa Bay. Behind every statistic is a family navigating fear, instability, and uncertainty.
If you are living in Safety Harbor and ready to change direction, Real Recovery Solutions provides structured, 12-step–focused addiction treatment through our nearby St. Petersburg location. Recovery does not require leaving the Tampa Bay area. It requires the right structure, support, and accountability.
We believe recovery is not about temporary stabilization. It is about rebuilding your life in a way that makes sobriety sustainable long after treatment ends.
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.

CEO & Founder
Every person who reaches out for help brings a different story. Some are facing a recent crisis. Others have struggled quietly for years. Some are balancing work and family while trying to hold things together. Treatment should reflect those differences.
At Real Recovery Solutions, we provide a coordinated continuum of care that allows clients to enter at the level that fits their current needs and step down gradually as stability improves. Many individuals also choose sober living to extend structure and accountability beyond formal treatment.
Below is an overview of how our programs support clients from Safety Harbor and north Pinellas County:
From your first call, our team evaluates substance use history, mental health, risk factors, and daily responsibilities. The goal is simple: place you where you will be most successful and adjust the plan as progress is made.
For Safety Harbor residents, our St. Petersburg facility offers comprehensive care within a short drive, making treatment accessible without disconnecting from local responsibilities.
Heroin addiction affects the body, mind, and relationships simultaneously. Our program addresses all three areas. Our heroin treatment typically includes detox when needed, structured therapy, and strong peer support through 12-step programming.
Clients from Safety Harbor work with therapists to identify underlying drivers of use and build daily routines that reduce relapse risk. Recovery is not only about abstinence. It is about building a life that supports continued sobriety.
Fentanyl has dramatically increased overdose risk across Florida. It is potent, often mixed into other substances, and difficult to detect.
Our fentanyl treatment services focus first on safety, then on long-term stability. Care may include supervised detox, overdose education and naloxone awareness, structured residential support, and continued outpatient and sober living options.
Seeking help is not weakness. It is a move toward stability and survival.
Cocaine use can gradually intensify, affecting sleep, mood, productivity, and finances. Many individuals underestimate its impact until consequences escalate.
Our cocaine addiction treatment helps clients identify patterns, understand high-risk triggers, and develop healthier responses to stress and boredom. For Safety Harbor residents, our St. Petersburg location provides structured care that supports meaningful behavioral change.
Meth use can severely disrupt mental and physical health. It often leads to sleep deprivation, paranoia, and social isolation.
At Real Recovery Solutions, stimulant treatment emphasizes routine, accountability, and mental health support. Individual and group therapy address thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to continued use. Structured support helps clients regain stability and rebuild confidence in their ability to make sober decisions.
Prescription medications such as Xanax or Ativan can lead to dependence over time. Abrupt discontinuation can be dangerous.
Our benzodiazepine program includes coordination with medical providers for safe tapering, therapy to manage anxiety without reliance on medication, and peer support to reduce isolation. The focus is on long-term mental health stability alongside sobriety.
Treatment is one part of recovery. Harm reduction and community resources can help reduce immediate risks and provide stability.
✅Florida Department of Health in Pinellas County (DOH-Pinellas) Provides free naloxone kits and overdose prevention training throughout the county. Residents can call 727-824-6900 to locate distribution sites.
✅IDEA Pinellas Syringe Services Program Offers sterile supplies, safe disposal, testing for HIV and hepatitis C, and connections to care in St. Petersburg.

These resources help reduce harm and save lives while individuals consider treatment options.

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.
