Who Are We?

For Loved Ones

For Families

We are a group of highly structured, highly productive sober living homes. Our focus is not on just avoiding drugs and alcohol. That creates misery. And we want to create a life more than that. 

We are Life Changers

We were founded in 2015 and opened our first facility in 2016. We started with a simple idea: to help the newly sober reintegrate into society. A few years later we have added some components, but have stayed true to our mission. And our basic idea of sober living is beginning to change. A few years later, and thousands of lives changed, we are just beginning. At Real Deal, sober is just the beginning.

Our Focus

Diet & Exercise

Most people do not take very good care of their bodies when they are drinking or using drugs. Once they decide to get sober, they often want to get in shape but don’t know where to start. This is where lifting weights comes in. Regular exercise is important to good health and can play a major role in the recovery process.

Spirituality

This word makes a lot of people nervous. However, when we talk about spirituality, we aren't talking about religion. It's not about a certain church or denomination. What matters to us is connection: connection to ourselves and those around us.

Employment

Getting a job is a great way to start rebuilding your life. Employment also teaches those in recovery the concept of value. At a job, we work for pay and begin to associate an action with a reward. This association is missing for many after the devastation of addiction.

Why us?

Focus. More than just getting sober, our focus is on helping people live happy, healthy, and productive lives.

Community. A strong community is the foundation of long-lasting recovery. Lifelong friends are made at Real Deal.

Success. Our tracked success rate is high. Because we know the key to recovery is responsibility, accountability, and work.

Properties. We select only the best properties to be Real Deal facilities. All our houses are in great locations for jobs, meetings, and social activities.

I was born and raised in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I moved to the United States when I was 18. I have since graduated with honors in fashion business management with an associate degree. I am currently pursuing a bachelor of science in advertising marketing communications. I am a quick multitasker and fast learner, able to work in a fast-moving environment. I am fluent in Spanish (My first language), skilled in customer satisfaction resolution, and I love to use multiple digital platforms. Ultimately, I am a huge believer in recovery and I love to help people through positivity, health, and self-love.

My life has gone from pure chaos to being seemingly normal, which may not seem like much to most people, but for me, it is an absolute miracle. Life for me now is peaceful. I have a job that I love, and a 1-year old dog named Butters who has no social awareness. My passion now lies in helping others rather than seeking the best outcome for me regardless of who or what I had to go through. I am so grateful for all that has been done for me and for the first time in my life I can honestly say that I am excited about the future.

With having a 20-year career in the health and fitness industry, I have always been driven by helping people. After conquering my own struggles with addiction through the program here at Real Deal, I am grateful to be in a position to help other men do the same. This program is truly genuine in its objective to help men be successful in their transition back to a quality life. If you’re serious about putting your addiction behind you, Real Deal is truly that.

Recovery has introduced me to a new way of living, free from substances. I had tried many times, and in many different ways to get myself out of the cycle, I was stuck in. I found out that I could not do this alone. However, by being of service and sharing with others, I am able to continue to stay sober myself. Today, I am able to see that when I put helping others over myself, I enjoy a sense of peace and happiness that I have never experienced before in my life. In my free time, I like to go cycling, hiking, and many other outdoor activities with friends.

Coming from a 10+ year span of addiction, I was broken, hopeless, and had no direction in life. By picking up the tools available to me in recovery, I am 3 years sober by the grace of God. I now have amazing friendships, employment, structure, and a great recovery community. I have a new life!

One thing I did know was that I had friends who got sober through the 12 steps and had been sober for years, and still are sober to this day. I then knew where the solution was. Working the 12 steps has changed my life and changed the person I am today. Helping other alcoholics and addicts just like me is how we stay sober. A day in my life today consists of going to work at a job I am under qualified for (but blessed and grateful to have), the 12 steps, fitness, watching sports, and just having a good time with the guys at the house!

Not until I was completely broken and needed to find a new sense of direction, I submitted myself to the 12 steps of aa. Now that I have found a new way of living and a sense of direction my life is better than it was ever before. I get to help and see others that have had the same struggles come back to life. I get to use all the tools and principles I've learned from recovery in my daily life. I've never thought I could possibly have this much peace and fun sober. I really enjoy going to the lake with family, cliff jumping, hiking, camping, hunting, and shooting guns. Any chance I get to enjoy the outdoors is a good time for me!
