About this Recovery Home
Cardinal House Richardson is a men's sober living home in Richardson, Texas, a suburb on the northern edge of Dallas County. It is run by Cardinal House Recovery, one of four men's recovery homes the operator maintains across Dallas and Collin counties, and it carries a live-in house manager who provides daily structure and support.
A Live-In House Manager in a Richardson Sober House
This sober house in Richardson serves men in recovery, and the live-in manager is the detail that separates it from a room rental. Someone in the house is responsible for the daily schedule, the chores, the testing and the questions that come up at night and on weekends. For a man in his first months out of treatment, that steady presence is often what keeps a hard day from becoming a relapse.
House Expectations at Cardinal House Richardson
Cardinal House Recovery runs the Richardson house with a zero-tolerance relapse policy. Residents work, volunteer or stay actively involved in their recovery, and regular testing applies to everyone. Every man contributes to the household, from chores to meetings, so the home runs on shared effort. Family visits take place during scheduled times and need approval in advance. Residents may keep a vehicle with a valid driver's license and insurance.
Recovery Housing in Richardson, Texas
Richardson is a quiet, established suburb just north of Dallas, straddling Dallas and Collin counties. The city holds a large share of the region's technology employers along the Telecom Corridor, the University of Texas at Dallas, and several DART rail stations, so a resident can reach work, outpatient care and meetings without a car. Dallas, the county seat, is a short train ride south. The street address for this house is not published, and placement runs through the operator.
Texas Recovery Residence Certification
Texas does not license sober living, and certification is voluntary through the Texas Recovery Oriented Housing Network. TROHN certifies each house on its own and assigns a level from I to IV. Before moving in, a prospective resident can ask whether the Richardson house holds TROHN certification, what the monthly fee includes, how bedrooms are shared, and whether medication for opioid use disorder is accepted. A well-run house should answer all four in writing.
One of Four Cardinal House Recovery Homes
The Richardson house sits in the middle of the Cardinal House Recovery footprint, between the Dallas house to the south and the Plano and Frisco houses to the north. Applications go through the operator, which can place a man in whichever of its men's sober homes fits him best.
