About this Recovery Home
Cardinal House Dallas is a men's sober living home on Peyton Drive in north Dallas, Texas, in Dallas County. It is the Dallas residence of Cardinal House Recovery, a sober living operator running four men's recovery homes across the northern Dallas-Fort Worth area, and it serves men 18 and older who are committed to structured, substance-free living.
A Men's Sober House on Peyton Drive
This sober house in Dallas serves men only, which settles shared bedrooms, bathrooms and common space before anything else is discussed. Peyton Drive is a residential street in far north Dallas, inside the city limits and close to public transit, grocery stores and employment centers. That combination answers the first question most men leaving treatment ask about an address: whether a job, a meeting and a pharmacy are within reach before a car is realistic.
House Rules and Structure at Cardinal House Dallas
Cardinal House Recovery publishes the expectations residents of the Dallas house live by:
- A curfew.
- Recovery meeting attendance.
- Assigned house chores.
- Regular check-ins with house leadership.
- A completely substance-free home.
Visitors are generally allowed under set guidelines, and a visit may need prior approval from house leadership. There is no fixed length of stay. Monthly fees vary with room availability and how long a resident stays, so the figure for a particular bed comes from the operator at intake.
Dallas Recovery Housing and the DART Network
Dallas is the seat of Dallas County, and a resident of this Dallas sober house lives inside the county's full set of courts, outpatient providers and recovery services. DART buses and rail lines serve the north Dallas corridor, and the operator points to nearby 12-step meetings, outpatient providers and volunteer options as part of the daily routine. For a man rebuilding a schedule around work and meetings, an address inside the transit network removes the biggest early obstacle.
Texas Sober Living Certification
Sober living homes in Texas are not licensed by the state. Certification is voluntary through the Texas Recovery Oriented Housing Network, which grants it residence by residence and publishes a level from I to IV for each certified home. A certified recovery residence commits to a code of ethics, discloses its fees and rules in writing before move-in, and accepts outside complaint review. Anyone weighing this house can ask Cardinal House Recovery whether the Peyton Drive residence holds TROHN certification and at which level.
One of Four Cardinal House Recovery Homes
The Dallas house is one of four men's recovery homes operated by Cardinal House Recovery. Its sister houses sit in Richardson, Plano and Frisco, all within the same northern stretch of the metro. A resident who later needs a different setting can raise it with an operator that already knows him, and the program expectations carry over from one house to the next.
