Our Programs

Levels of care built around where you are and where you're going.

Cardinal Recovery Center offers multiple levels of outpatient mental health care for adult men in Plano. Every program draws from the same clinical model. The level of intensity depends on what you need.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

Our IOP runs 12 weeks. Eight core curriculum themes. Group and individual sessions that work through attachment patterns, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, self-esteem, mindfulness, and meaning-making in that order, with purpose. Morning groups meet four days a week, evening groups meet three. Most men in IOP maintain work, school, or family responsibilities while in the program.

Outpatient Care

Outpatient care is a lower-intensity option for men who have completed IOP or who are stepping into the process at a more manageable pace. Sessions are scheduled flexibly around your life. The clinical model stays the same. The frequency shifts based on where you are.

Sober Living

Cardinal Recovery Center partners closely with Cardinal House Recovery, a men's structured sober living community in North Texas. Sober living gives men a stable environment where accountability, community, and daily structure reinforce what's being built in treatment. It's not just housing. It's a training ground.

Recovery Coaching & Life Skills

Clinical programming gives you the framework. Coaching helps you apply it. Our coaches work one-on-one with men to bridge the gap between the skills learned in sessions and the decisions that come up in real life: work situations, relationships, finances, routine. Goal-setting, accountability, and honest conversation about what's actually hard. This is where the work gets practical.
