12-Step/AA and other traditional programs often fail because they focus on surface-level symptoms without addressing the deeper reasons behind your behavior. They put you in a box.
Those programs micromanage your every move, force you to publicly declare that you’re an addict, and kick you out if you relapse. They label you an addict, reliant on treatment for life.
We are the first choice in recovery – where healing is deep, holistic, and truly transformative.
Being a private and anonymous program, there’s no shame or fear of judgment. That allows you to get to the root of your struggles more freely.
While other programs use one or two methods, we bring you the most complete and up to date approach available. Every theme and angle will be addressed.
The program fits seamlessly into your life, not the other way around. Easily access everything without disrupting your schedule, anytime, anywhere.
Dr. Hochman defines addiction as: a trained pattern of seeking pleasure to escape intolerable painful emotions.
Addiction can manifest in many forms, including:
Address the root causes of your behavior, and you can end any kind of addiction.
Self Recovery draws on his medical training as a physician, his psychological expertise as a psychiatrist, and research from thousands of studies to provide a holistic approach that works.
As a leader in the addiction field, Dr. Hochman has been invited to train and speak for a range of organizations, including Whole Foods and NAADAC, the largest organization for addiction-focused healthcare professionals. His NAADAC lecture remains the most attended in its history.
Gain access to bite-sized video lessons that guide you through every step of the recovery process, complete with reflection exercises to help you transform insights into real change.
Understand why we self-sabotage, what addiction is (and isn’t), how it develops, and a proven, science-backed path to truly overcome it and move forward.
Learn to identify triggers, and practice effective distraction techniques and coping skills. The outward addictive behavior is just one piece of the puzzle.
Discover your wanting mind. Spot cravings before they take hold, tolerate impulsivity and stress when they surface, and gain the power of self control.
Learn the different types of pleasure, and how to focus on the deeper and lasting ones. Understand what to do with your natural drive to seek rewards.
Address painful emotions at the root of your addiction, such as: childhood challenges, emptiness, unhealthy relationships, shame, anxiety, trauma, and anger.
Build an easier life of meaning and wisdom. Cultivate healthy habits, connected relationships, discipline, humility, gratitude, purpose, and compassion.

Try Self Recovery with our 30-Day Money Back Guarantee. If for any reason you complete the work and don’t feel a significant difference in your addiction, we’ll give you a full refund. No questions asked.

Yes, that’s what we’re so excited about! In the largest study ever conducted comparing online mental health treatment with standard, face-to-face treatment, the data showed better outcomes for the online group (in terms of symptoms, hospital admissions, etc.).
Self Recovery is designed to address both substance addictions (like alcohol, prescription medications, or illicit drugs) and behavioral addictions (such as food, social media, gambling, sex, pornography, and shopping).
Because the program focuses on the underlying psychological and emotional drivers of addiction, it’s effective across a wide range of compulsive behaviors.
No – your interaction is entirely up to you. Your enrollment includes weekly live, online groups, but those are optional. Even if you join, you can control whether you’re seen or heard. There are also forums where you can discuss and share as much as you’d like with others on a similar journey, but only if you choose to. All lessons are pre-recorded, so everything happens on your schedule.
Everything is pre-recorded, so you can go at your own pace. The program is designed to take about 1 hour each weekday, for 3 months. Even if you have extra time now, we don’t recommend trying to rush through the material. Our lessons go deep, and you’ll want time to reflect on and practice each skill. You’re encouraged to move at your own pace, and you can revisit lessons and refresh concepts whenever you like.
Yes. Upon completing the program, you will receive a certificate of completion.
No. This program has been developed based on science and psychological studies in addiction. While we find parts of the 12-step approach helpful and include some of its teachings, our program is not designed around it. If you’re in a 12-step support group, this program can complement it well. Any spiritual beliefs are welcome.
While some people need a different environment, others find that leaving the protection of residential treatment and returning home leads to unexpected challenges. We value the process of change within your natural environment. When we transform alongside family, friends, coworkers, and daily stressors, we get the chance to address the people and factors that trigger addiction and practice steady, progressive gains. You’ll also be given tasks involving your current relationships and stressors, helping you make them manageable – or even helpful. This creates lasting change with fewer unknowns about what will happen after treatment ends.
While being sober is extremely helpful in all aspects of life, it’s not the only part of well-being. We teach for full emotional well-being so that sobriety isn’t boring or painful. Relapses happen when we change our behavior without truly transforming on the inside. This program addresses key themes of emotional transformation – such as acceptance, tolerance, compassion, belonging, purpose, and reflection – so that addiction becomes a thing of the past.
Far from it. We all already know what healthy choices look like (“drugs can kill you,” “don’t relapse or else you may lose your job or relationship,” etc.). The real key to changing behavior is to give attention to the parts within us that make those healthy choices feel so impossible. We address the root cause of addiction: emotional pain or stress. If you don’t know what you’re running from, you’ll never find real peace.
Sort of. Nobody grades your responses because we want to avoid any fear of judgment and encourage you to be open with yourself. After each lesson, you’ll be asked to reflect on several carefully designed questions about yourself. It’s extremely important to put a good amount of energy into these, as this is where most of your real change will happen.
Yes. The program is just $99 per month. Unlike many other options, we’ve made it intentionally affordable and accessible. Best of all, the program is designed to address the root causes of addiction – all in a completely private and supportive environment.
Although this program is designed to help on its own, it can also enhance the benefits of other typical treatments. Sometimes, people have a therapist or psychiatrist but need more immediate support than their current treatment provides. Others recognize they need additional help after a treatment ends to maintain their health. Additionally, the search for a provider or residential treatment can take days or months due to insurance approvals or waiting lists. This program can be used as a tool to get started right away and maximize the benefits of your next step in treatment.
You’ll be able to print a certificate of completion at the end of this course to verify your participation. Counties usually have no official requirements regarding which types of interventions are approved by the court but typically maintain lists of approved facilities. Please contact your district court or attorney to confirm whether this rehab will be accepted in your case.
No, we are currently not set up to accept insurance.
Yes. We try to be clear upfront about what this program is, but we understand that we’re not the perfect fit for everyone. If you’re truly unsatisfied with our program, please contact us at hello@selfrecovery.org within 30 days, and we’ll give you a 100% refund – no questions asked.
If we provide a letter or certificate about your enrollment, we do not offer a refund to prevent misuse of the program.
Yes. The program is designed and taught by Daniel Hochman, M.D., an internationally recognized psychiatrist. Beyond typical medical training, he has collaborated with and learned from some of the brightest minds in the field to understand, practice, and teach the complex inner workings of addiction. Dr. Hochman has worked with and consulted for several addiction treatment facilities and clinics across a variety of settings, including the Veterans Administration, military, academic, and private sectors. He has a knack for getting to the core of the issue.
