Dr. Che Jordan is making a difference through Ebony House, Inc. in Phoenix, Arizona, where substance use disorder remains a pressing issue. As the head of this nonprofit, Jordan has seen how traditional treatment often falls short, leaving many to relapse. Determined to change this, he leads the charge to create a more effective, long-term recovery approach.
“For too long, addiction treatment has been about putting out fires rather than preventing them,” Jordan says. “We need a system that helps people quit and rebuild their lives.”
Jordan’s approach goes beyond detox and short-term programs. Under his leadership, Ebony House focuses on mental health services, job training, and community support, ensuring that people in recovery have the resources to stay on track.
A Better Path to Healing
Dr. Che Jordan has turned Ebony House into a leader in modern addiction recovery. Rather than just focusing on sobriety, his programs tackle the deeper issues that drive addiction—mental health challenges, joblessness, and lack of stable housing.
“We quickly realized that if we don’t address these core struggles, recovery won’t last,” Jordan explains. “Our mission is to equip people with the tools to rebuild and sustain a better future.”
To achieve this, Ebony House provides science-backed therapy, The 12-Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and essential life skills training. Clients also benefit from career coaching and job placement services, helping them gain independence and stability beyond treatment.
The results speak for themselves. While many recovery programs struggle with high relapse rates, Ebony House has helped people successfully reintegrate into society. National health organizations, including the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), now advocate for integrated care models—a strategy Ebony House has long championed and refined.
Leading the Way in Change
The addiction treatment field is changing, and Dr. Jordan is helping to drive that change. His dedication has earned him several top honors, including a 2024 Global Recognition Award and a 2025 Global Recognition Award for overall excellence in the industry, recognizing his contributions to addiction recovery and mental health care. This has put him in the spotlight of major media coverage.
“I don’t measure success by awards or media attention,” Jordan says. “Success means someone walks out of here with real hope, a steady job, and a fresh start.”
Beyond hands-on treatment, Jordan is shaping the national conversation around addiction policy. With many people still struggling to access critical opioid treatment medications, he has been actively advocating for increased funding and better availability, working with policymakers and healthcare experts to bring about real solutions.
The Road Ahead for Recovery
Dr. Che Jordan is redefining long-term recovery, guiding Ebony House toward new ways to support individuals on their journey to lasting change. By embracing telehealth, expanding services, and forging key partnerships, the organization is reaching more individuals in need than ever before.
“True recovery is not just about quitting an addiction; it’s about rebuilding confidence, reclaiming independence, and knowing you have support every step of the way,” Jordan says.
Ebony House is setting new standards in behavioral health care. Under Jordan’s leadership, the future of recovery is becoming clearer—one where every person has the tools, guidance, and support they need to build a new life.
