Real Deal Glenside Drive Men's House Men's Recovery Home

About this Recovery Home

Real Deal Glenside Drive Men's House is a men's sober house on Glenside Drive in Farmers Branch, Texas, in Dallas County. Real Deal Sober Living publishes it on its own list of homes, and it is the operator's men's residence in the city.

A Men's Sober House on Glenside Drive

Farmers Branch is a small Dallas County city wedged between Dallas, Carrollton and Addison, and Glenside Drive sits in its residential interior. The scale of the place is part of the appeal. A resident can reach a grocery store, a job and a meeting inside a few square miles, and the DART Green Line stops at Farmers Branch Station and Royal Lane, which connects the house to downtown Dallas and to the Northwest Highway corridor without a car.

The Cost of This Sober Living Home

Real Deal Sober Living publishes housing at $500 a month. For a man leaving treatment with a part-time job lined up, a number that sits in that range is the difference between recovery housing and a return to whatever address he left. Ask the operator how the charge is billed, what a deposit runs, and what happens to it at move-out.

Farmers Branch Recovery Housing Between Two Downtowns

Farmers Branch is unusual among Metroplex suburbs in that it borders both the Dallas and the Carrollton job markets and is a short run up I-35E from the county seat. Dallas holds the courthouse, the county's outpatient network and the deepest meeting schedule in North Texas. Carrollton and Addison hold warehouse, restaurant and light industrial work. Dallas County recovery housing in Farmers Branch reaches both, which is why the city carries more sober homes than its size would suggest.

Certification and Texas Recovery Residences

Recovery residences in Texas operate without a state license. Certification is available through TROHN, the Texas Recovery Oriented Housing Network and the state's NARR affiliate, and it is voluntary for privately funded homes. Since 2023 Texas has required it of recovery housing that accepts state funds, grants or referrals. A certified house has agreed in writing to an ethics code, to handing an applicant its fees and rules before move-in, to a written relapse and discharge policy, and to a complaint process someone outside the house reviews.

Other Real Deal Sober Homes in the Metroplex

The operator runs men's and women's houses in Richardson, Plano and Dallas alongside this one, and its outpatient program serves the same residents. Someone whose work or family pulls them to a different corner of the Metroplex can move inside the same organization, on the same terms, without starting an application over.
