Opal Recovery Home

About Opal Recovery Home

Opal Recovery Home is a sober living operator based in Tampa, Florida, running certified women's recovery residences across the Tampa Bay area. The organization is overseen by a masters-level clinician who is also a certified addiction professional, and it has grown to six houses serving Hillsborough, Pinellas and Pasco counties.

A Women's Recovery Housing Provider in Tampa Bay

Opal Recovery Home is a housing organization built around twelve-step recovery for women. The houses supply structure, peer accountability and a stable address, while clinical treatment, therapy and prescribing stay with outside providers residents choose for themselves. The operator's job is to keep each house staffed, structured and consistent with the others, which is what a resident notices most when moving between properties.

Six Sober Houses Across Three Counties

Opal Recovery Home operates six women's houses under its own name: Opal House 1, Opal House 2, Opal House 3 and a fourth Tampa property, plus a house in St. Petersburg and one in New Port Richey. All six serve women only and run on the same twelve-step foundation.

Serving Hillsborough, Pinellas and Pasco Counties

The three-county footprint gives Opal Recovery Home reach across most of the Tampa Bay area's recovery housing market. Tampa anchors the Hillsborough side of the network, St. Petersburg covers Pinellas County to the west, and New Port Richey extends the operator's reach north into Pasco County. A resident who needs a different house, a different set of housemates or a shorter commute to a particular job can often find it without leaving the Opal Recovery Home network.

What Florida Sober Living Certification Establishes

Florida certifies recovery residences through the Florida Association of Recovery Residences, the state's affiliate of the National Alliance for Recovery Residences and the only credentialing body the Florida Department of Children and Families recognizes for this type of housing. Certification is voluntary under state law, and a residence that holds it commits to a published code of ethics, written disclosure of fees and rules before move-in, and a complaint process reaching past the house itself. Anyone comparing Opal Recovery Home's houses should confirm each one's current certification status directly with the operator.

Leadership Behind This Recovery Housing Provider

Opal Recovery Home is overseen by Beverly Womack, described on the organization's own site as a masters-level clinician, a certified addiction professional and an internationally certified drug and alcohol counselor. That clinical background informs how the houses are run even though treatment itself happens outside the residences, and it is the kind of credential a family vetting a multi-house operator can ask about directly.

Applying to an Opal Recovery Home Sober House

Admissions to any of the six houses run through Opal Recovery Home directly, and the organization uses an online application through a third-party recovery platform. The questions worth asking at the operator level include which specific house has an open bed, whether the fee and move-in deposit are the same across properties, and how a transfer between houses works if the first placement is not the right fit.
