Psychiatry

Reco Coaching pairs recovery coaching in Dallas with an addiction psychiatrist, so medication, dual diagnosis care and daily accountability all follow one plan. We build your recovery plan alongside a psychiatrist in Dallas who meets with you and gives us medical oversight, or we plug into the psychiatrist you already see. Either way, nobody on your team works in a silo.

If you are looking for addiction treatment in Dallas that takes the mental health side seriously, this is how we do it. An addiction psychiatrist handles diagnosis, medication management and the clinical decisions. A recovery coach handles everything in between: check-ins, structure, lab testing, and making sure what gets prescribed actually gets followed. Our recovery coaches serve Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano, Frisco and the rest of DFW.

An addiction psychiatrist in Dallas can diagnose what is underneath the substance use, treat co-occurring disorders, prescribe medication for cravings, withdrawal, anxiety, depression, ADHD or bipolar disorder, and adjust it over time. What a psychiatrist cannot do is be there the other 29 days of the month.

That is where a recovery coach in Dallas comes in. Your coach checks in daily, keeps your routine on track, watches for the side effects and warning signs your psychiatrist asked about, and makes sure the prescription on paper becomes a habit in real life. Medication only works when it is taken, and most relapses in addiction treatment start with a missed week of it.

When the two talk to each other, the psychiatrist makes decisions with real information, not a 15-minute recap. Your coach knows what was prescribed and why, and reinforces it. Your psychiatrist hears about the sleepless week or the skipped doses before the next appointment, not after.

If you do not have a psychiatrist, we bring one in. Reco Coaching builds each recovery plan with a board-certified addiction psychiatrist in the Dallas–Fort Worth area who meets with you directly and provides medical oversight for your coaching.

Here is what that looks like:

• You meet with the psychiatrist for a full dual diagnosis evaluation, including any co-occurring mental health conditions and whether medication-assisted treatment (MAT) makes sense for you.
• The psychiatrist and your recovery coach build your plan together: diagnosis, medication, lab testing schedule, and the signs to watch for between visits.
• Your coach runs the plan day to day, tracks adherence and side effects, and reports back, so medication decisions are based on what is actually happening.
• Follow-up visits are scheduled around what your coach is seeing. If a higher level of care is needed, the psychiatrist says so and we help you get there.

You get outpatient addiction treatment in DFW with a psychiatrist behind it and a coach beside you. One team, one plan.

Already seeing a psychiatrist, addiction medicine doctor or prescriber you trust? Keep them. Reco Coaching integrates with your existing care team so your recovery coaching in Dallas supports the medical treatment already underway.

With your signed release, we:

• Introduce ourselves to your psychiatrist and learn the treatment plan, the medications and what they want watched.
• Align your coaching plan with their goals, so your coach reinforces the same things your psychiatrist is prescribing.
• Report what we see week to week: check-ins, medication adherence, lab testing results, breathalyzer monitoring, and any changes in mood, sleep or cravings worth flagging.
• Join care-team calls when it helps, and stay out of the way when it does not.

Your psychiatrist stays in charge of the medical side. We handle the structure and accountability in between. You never have to be the messenger between providers who have never spoken, because we make sure they have.

This works with private-practice psychiatrists across DFW, addiction medicine clinics, outpatient addiction treatment programs, and telepsychiatry prescribers you see from anywhere in Texas.

Every plan is built around the person, but most include the same pieces:

• Psychiatric evaluation, dual diagnosis assessment and follow-up visits with a board-certified addiction psychiatrist, either ours or yours.
• Psychiatric medication management for addiction, including medication-assisted treatment when it is right for you, with your coach supporting adherence between visits.
• Regular coaching sessions and daily check-ins with a recovery coach in Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano or Frisco, in person or by phone and video.
• Lab testing for over 50 substances, including rare street drugs and kratom, through our lab partners, with results shared with your psychiatrist.
• Breathalyzer monitoring for alcohol when it is part of the plan.
• A written relapse-prevention plan that both your psychiatrist and coach follow.
• Family communication when you want it, so the people around you know how to help.
• Regular plan reviews where the psychiatrist and coach look at progress together and adjust.

It is sober coaching in Dallas with a psychiatrist's oversight and dual diagnosis treatment built in, not a standalone service that hopes the medical side lines up on its own.

Psychiatry-integrated recovery coaching in DFW fits people who:

• Are on, or considering, medication for cravings, withdrawal or a co-occurring condition and need help staying consistent with it.
• Need dual diagnosis treatment in Dallas: depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD or bipolar disorder alongside substance use.
• Are leaving detox, residential or intensive outpatient treatment and need the prescriptions to survive the transition home.
• Want addiction treatment without going to rehab: outpatient addiction treatment in DFW that does not require stepping away from work or family.
• Have a psychiatrist but keep slipping between appointments.
• Have a family that wants proof of progress, through lab testing or breathalyzer monitoring, delivered by a neutral third party.

It also fits families looking for a recovery coach in Dallas for a son, daughter, spouse or parent, who want someone to coordinate with the doctors instead of adding another disconnected voice.

What is the difference between a psychiatrist and a recovery coach?

A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who diagnoses mental health and substance use disorders and prescribes medication. A recovery coach is a trained, non-clinical support who helps you build and keep a sober life day to day. At Reco Coaching, every plan has a psychiatrist behind it, so you get both.

Do I have to switch psychiatrists to work with you?

No. If you already have a psychiatrist or prescriber you trust, we integrate with them. If you do not have one, we build your plan with a board-certified addiction psychiatrist in the Dallas–Fort Worth area.

Does a recovery coach manage my medication?

No. Only your psychiatrist prescribes or changes medication. Your coach helps you take it as prescribed, keeps track of how it is going, and makes sure your psychiatrist hears about it.

Do you offer dual diagnosis treatment in Dallas?

Yes. Most people we work with have a co-occurring condition alongside substance use. Your addiction psychiatrist treats both together, and your recovery coach supports both plans day to day, so neither one gets ignored while the other gets attention.

Do you work with medication-assisted treatment?

Yes. If your psychiatrist prescribes medication for alcohol or opioid use, your coach supports the plan and your lab testing confirms it is working.

How do you share information with my psychiatrist?

Only with your written permission. You decide what is shared and with whom. Once you sign a release, we keep your psychiatrist updated on check-ins, adherence, lab testing results and anything that affects your plan.

Do you serve all of DFW?

Yes. We provide recovery coaching across Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano, Frisco, Arlington, Irving and the surrounding suburbs, with in-person and virtual options.

Can I get addiction treatment in Dallas without going to rehab?

For some people, psychiatric care plus recovery coaching is enough. For others, it is what comes after treatment, or the support that makes outpatient care work. Your psychiatrist helps determine the right level of care, and we will tell you plainly if you need more than we offer.

Whether you need a psychiatrist and a coach, or just a coach who will work with the doctor you already have, the first step is the same: a confidential call with Reco Coaching. We will listen, tell you what we think fits, and help you build a plan where everyone on your team is talking to each other.
