Cope Compass helps in the moment. Self Recovery goes deeper.
Cope Compass meets you when the urge hits. Self Recovery, the psychology-based program from Dr. Daniel Hochman, is the clinical depth layer for the quieter work of understanding why, and building a life that lasts.

Built by a physician who gets it

Dr. Daniel Hochman, MD is a psychiatrist, Affiliate Faculty at UT Dell Medical School, and Clinical Associate Professor at the Texas A&M School of Medicine.
Self Recovery is the program he built from years of clinical practice: a psychology-based, vice-agnostic approach that treats the person, not just the behavior. It is anti-shame by design, and it teaches the systems-and-frameworks thinking that helps recovery actually stick.
A guided journey, in six parts
Short video lessons and guided reflections, paced over twelve weeks, following Dr. Hochman’s “current of addiction” framework:
Foundations
What addiction actually is, where it comes from, and why it is not a moral failing.
Addiction
Practical ways to slow the behavior down and catch your breath.
Craving
How to tolerate urges instead of attaching to them.
False Pleasure
Letting go of what sounds good but never helps in the end.
Emotional Pain
Ending the pain you escape or numb, instead of running from it.
Health
Building a new life, and a sense of meaning, beyond addiction.
