Daniel Hochman, M.D.

Daniel Hochman, M.D., is an affiliate faculty member in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences.

Hochman attended The University of Texas at Austin, where he received two degrees with honors and the All-American Scholar Collegiate Award. He completed medical school at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, where he received the Global Healthcare Scholarship to pursue his interest in indigent care in Latin America. He completed his residency in Denver at the University of Colorado. There he was chosen to serve as chief resident and was awarded the Psychiatry Academic Achievement Award. He is board certified in general adult psychiatry by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology.

Hochman has worked in and taught addiction in a range of clinical settings, including private addiction rehabs, outpatient addiction clinics, an academic rehab center (CeDAR: Center for Dependency, Addiction and Rehabilitation), Department of Defense programs (Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center) and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA Eastern Colorado Health Care System).

He believes in bringing more simple and effective approaches to people who do not otherwise receive or access care. Hochman is the founder of selfrecovery.org, an entirely online addiction recovery program that provides evidence-based care without stigma or typical barriers to engage in treatment.

Hochman regularly trains and speaks for addiction facilities, hospitals and professional organizations to advance addiction care. He supervises at Dell Medical School and has a private practice where he treats addiction cases that have not fully responded to other forms of treatment. Hochman is the past president of Texas Physicians for Social Responsibility, which he enjoys as a way of serving the community in creative ways beyond the clinical setting.
