What Clinicians Are Saying About Self Recovery
"As a family medicine physician and the medical director of a Community Health Center, I see first hand the challenges that face my patients who are affected by addiction. Selfrecovery.org is an innovative program that motivates patients to actively participate in their own care, an element of chronic disease management that has been recognized as a mechanism to improve outcomes in many other chronic diseases. Dr. Hochman has developed an evidence-based, self-paced, inexpensive, easy-to-follow curriculum which is unique in the field of addiction. I continue to be impressed with selfrecovery.org and am happy to recommend it to my patients.”
Lisa Winkler, MD
Medical Director of Clinica Family Health
“Dr. Hochman and I have worked closely together for a while and he has always shown such talent in treating addiction patients. My clinic turns to him and trusts him with complex addiction cases since he understands and can deal with the full range of causes of addiction, including the emotional aspects underneath it. I am excited he has created Self Recovery as a way for more of our patients to get his help. The program covers a way of looking at addiction from start to finish, and can be used for any type of addiction, whether it’s a substance or a process like gambling or sex.”
David Jones, MD, MPH, ABAM
Founder & Medical Director, Prudent Opiate Practices & Psychological Services
“Dr. Hochman is a rare bird. He is extremely bright and yet also very empathetic… You will quickly notice he is not the type of psychiatrist who is pushing pills to fix a problem but rather the type who helps you build skills and insight to practice so you may not need a medication in the future. In talking with him, you may notice an IBM Watson type brain that is filled with research and best practices – which he is able to put into very simple and actionable points.”
