…If your struggling like I was, give Real Recovery a shot cause it can help change your life like it changed mine.” – Jamie Bilsky
If you’re living with addiction near Treasure Island, Florida, Real Recovery Solutions can guide you on a structured, supportive path to lasting recovery. Our programs focus on accountability and give you the tools you need to succeed in the real world – so your progress continues long after treatment ends.
As a resident of Treasure Island, you are no stranger to a tight-knit community. In small towns, it’s hard not to worry about the health of your neighbors, friends, and loved ones– and even more so if they are young. In Florida, 559,000 adults aged 18 to 25 used a substance in the last month. Addiction can be a result of peer influence, and it can be hard to distance yourself from substances if everyone else around you is consuming heavy amounts of the substance.
At Real Recovery St. Petersburg, we build programs that are intent on support and community. Everyone who enters through our doors will receive the crucial recovery they require, while ensuring that accountability never wavers.
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.

CEO & Founder
At Real Recovery Solutions, we offer a comprehensive continuum of care designed to support each client’s unique journey. Our treatment plans are thoughtfully personalized to address the mind, body, and spirit, incorporating one-on-one sessions with trauma-informed therapists, group therapy with supportive peers, and programs grounded in the 12-step philosophy.
We provide a range of care levels to meet individual needs, from medical detox through outpatient services. Many clients choose to transition into our sober living program, created for men seeking structure, stability, and accountability.
Below are examples of what treatment looks like at Real Recovery:
When a substance is stopped abruptly, withdrawal symptoms can become severe and hard to manage. These may include hallucinations, dehydration, and seizures, and are not safe to face alone. This is where medical detox becomes essential. Medical detox offers 24/7 supervision and support from trained professionals who monitor each stage of the process, providing both medical and psychological care to help make withdrawal as safe and manageable as possible.
Medical detox is often the first step in treating alcohol use disorder (AUD) and substance use disorder (SUD), though it isn’t required for everyone. Certain substances, such as alcohol, benzodiazepines, fentanyl, and heroin, have a direct impact on brain chemistry, which can result in more severe and potentially dangerous withdrawal symptoms.
When clients first arrive at Real Recovery, they undergo a comprehensive physical and psychological evaluation to assess their current needs and determine whether medical detox is the most appropriate first step in their recovery journey.
Transitioning back into everyday life after detox is challenging for many men. Real Recovery’s St. Petersburg sober living program for men provides the structure and community necessary for lasting recovery after completing detox. The program follows a structured three-phase process that helps clients work through a 12-step program with 24-hour support from licensed therapists and ongoing accountability to reduce the risk of return to use.
Our St. Petersburg sober living program offers a variety of amenities and activities to make the transition smoother.
Some amenities men can expect in sober living:
While residents have the freedom to come and go, they are expected to follow program rules, attend a set number of 12-step meetings, maintain active employment, participate in peer support, and complete daily chores. There is no strict time limit for staying in the program; clients are encouraged to remain until they have completed their 12-step program and feel ready to transition fully into real life.
Many people turn to heroin initially as a way to cope with pain. Yet prolonged use can quickly lead to physical dependence, increased tolerance, and a sense of emptiness in everyday life. Co-occurring mental health issues may also complicate recovery.
Heroin addiction treatment at Real Recovery is personalized. It generally begins with a 24/7 medically supervised detox, followed by a sober living program that explores the underlying causes of the addiction. Through individual and group therapies, clients gain structure, support, and accountability on the path to lasting recovery.
Fentanyl is a powerful opioid that can rapidly affect both the body and mind. Even small doses can make decision-making feel impossible and often lead to persistent anxiety and irritability.
Treatment for fentanyl addiction begins with a thorough assessment to understand each client’s history, needs, and experiences. From there, clients engage in individual, family, and group therapy, which may include evidence-based approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) alongside holistic methods such as art therapy, yoga, and music therapy.
Cocaine addiction may start as a way to keep up with daily demands, increase confidence, or sustain energy. Over time, however, repeated use can make urges harder to manage, and many individuals find it increasingly difficult to distance themselves from the substance.
Treatment for cocaine addiction begins by identifying and addressing the possible underlying causes of the addiction. This may include co-occurring mental health conditions or environmental influences. From there, a personalized treatment plan is developed, often combining a 12-step approach with individual and group therapy to support lasting recovery.
Meth addiction often begins as a way to boost energy and get through the day, initially feeling manageable. Over time, however, what starts as control can turn into dependence, leading to isolation and a diminished sense of self-worth. Individuals struggling with meth addiction may experience intense cravings, difficulties with memory and focus, and increasing strain on once-close relationships.
Meth addiction treatment at Real Recovery starts with our experienced medical team developing a personalized treatment plan. This plan will combine the 12-step program principles with evidence-based therapies, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), while addressing potential underlying factors such as mental health concerns and environmental influences.
Prescription drug addiction involves the misuse of medications in ways that differ from their intended purpose. Commonly misused prescriptions include opioids, benzodiazepines, and stimulants. Stimulants, such as Adderall and Ritalin, are often prescribed to treat ADHD and can be effective for improving focus and energy. However, when used by individuals without ADHD, they can produce heightened energy and alertness that may lead to misuse. Over time, this can result in dependence, increased tolerance, and a reliance on the drug to maintain focus.At Real Recovery Solutions, treatment for prescription drug addiction begins with a comprehensive assessment and, when necessary, medical detox. We conduct in-depth physical and psychological evaluations to identify any underlying mental health concerns. From there, clients engage in a full continuum of care that includes individual and group therapy, medication-assisted treatment (MAT), and ongoing aftercare planning and support.
Benzodiazepines, commonly known as Xanax, Klonopin, and Valium, are often prescribed to manage insomnia, anxiety, and panic disorders. While effective in the short term, long-term intake can lead to tolerance, dependence, and, ultimately, addiction.
At Real Recovery, treatment for benzodiazepine addiction begins with a medically supervised detox. Withdrawal symptoms can be intense and require round-the-clock monitoring by our medical team. Following detox, clients are supported by ongoing aftercare to ensure long-term recovery.
Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is defined by the loss of control over alcohol consumption, which can create both physical and psychological dependence. Because each person’s experience with AUD is unique, effective treatment requires a program tailored to the individual.
Treatment for alcohol addiction at Real Recovery begins with a medically supervised alcohol detox, overseen by a skilled team of therapeutic and medical professionals. From there, clients move into a sober living program that addresses the underlying causes of addiction while limiting exposure to triggers, supporting a strong and lasting recovery.

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.
