Cardinal House Recovery

About Cardinal House Recovery

Cardinal House Recovery is a sober living operator based in Dallas, Texas, running men's recovery homes across Dallas and Collin counties in the northern Dallas-Fort Worth metro. The company operates four sober houses, in Dallas, Richardson, Plano and Frisco, and builds its program around community, connection and personal responsibility.

A Men's Sober Living Operator in North Texas

Every Cardinal House Recovery home serves men 18 and older. Keeping the whole portfolio single-gender means the house rules, meetings and shared space are written for one population, and a man moving between houses finds the same expectations at each address. The operator is led by chief executive Josh Jordan, with a director of operations who also handles case management, so a resident has someone at the company level working through employment, appointments and the practical steps of rebuilding a routine.

Cardinal House Sober Homes Across Dallas and Collin County

Four recovery homes carry the Cardinal House name:

• Cardinal House Dallas, on Peyton Drive in north Dallas.
• Cardinal House Richardson, in Richardson, just north of the Dallas city line.
• Cardinal House Plano, on Sierra Lane in Plano.
• Cardinal House Frisco, on Samantha Drive in Frisco.

The four sit along the corridor running north from Dallas through Richardson and Plano to Frisco. A resident who starts in one house and later wants a different setting can stay inside the same job market, the same meeting network and the same outpatient providers.

How This Recovery Housing Provider Structures Daily Life

Cardinal House Recovery runs sober living, and clinical treatment happens with outside providers. The program draws on 12-step recovery, steady work and peer support. Residents are expected to work, attend school or volunteer, to take part in recovery meetings, to share household chores and to submit to regular drug and alcohol testing. Check-ins and a curfew give the week its shape. There is no fixed length of stay, so a man can remain as long as the structure is doing its job.

Texas Sober Living Certification and This Operator

Texas does not license sober living homes. Certification is voluntary and runs through the Texas Recovery Oriented Housing Network, the state affiliate of the National Alliance for Recovery Residences. TROHN certifies residence by residence and publishes a level from I to IV for each one, describing how much structure and staffing a house provides. Anyone comparing Cardinal House Recovery with other Dallas-area sober living operators can ask which of its houses hold TROHN certification and at what level, and confirm the answer for the specific address they are applying to.

Serving Dallas, Richardson, Plano and Frisco

The footprint covers two counties with very different daily logistics. Dallas and most of Richardson sit inside Dallas County and on the DART rail network, which matters for a man in early recovery who does not yet have a car. Plano is a DART member city in Collin County, and Frisco, further north, depends far more on driving. Cardinal House Recovery accepts residents with vehicles when they hold a valid license and insurance, which widens the job search for men in the northern houses.

Applying to a Cardinal House Recovery Home

Applications go through the operator's membership application, and a resident is placed into one of the four houses. The questions worth asking at the operator level are about the company: how long it has run recovery housing in North Texas, whether it takes referrals from treatment centers and courts, how fees and the move-in charge are documented, and how a complaint is handled once it goes past the house manager. A Dallas sober living operator running four homes should have each of those answers ready.
