Background
Dr. Anthony Campo is a board-certified psychiatrist with over 40 years of experience in the diagnosis and treatment of mental health and substance use disorders. At RECO Health, his depth across both psychiatry and addiction medicine makes him uniquely valuable to the network — patients move between RECO programs with continuity of psychiatric care that reflects his integrated perspective.
Throughout his career, Dr. Campo has held several leadership roles, including Medical Director at Caron of Florida — a nationally recognized addiction treatment program — and at The Dunes East Hampton and Alternatives in Treatment. He has also served in hospital-based psychiatric emergency services. The combination of high-acuity emergency work and longitudinal treatment leadership is unusual, and it shapes the depth he brings to RECO Health.
Approach to Care
Dr. Campo treats psychiatry and addiction medicine as a single field with a shared patient — because for the vast majority of people he sees across the RECO Health network, they are. Co-occurring substance use and psychiatric conditions are the rule rather than the exception, and his treatment plans reflect that.
He is a believer in stepped care: starting with the level of intervention the clinical picture actually requires, monitoring response carefully, and adjusting as the patient changes. The hallmark of his work is dedication to delivering evidence-based care that supports long-term outcomes — not symptom suppression, but sustained quality of life.
Education & Credentials
Dr. Campo earned his medical degree from St. George's University School of Medicine and completed extensive training in psychiatry and neurology. He is board-certified in Psychiatry and Addiction Medicine — a dual certification that fewer than a small fraction of psychiatrists hold, and one that maps closely to the patient population RECO Health serves.
What to Expect
Patients meeting Dr. Campo across the RECO Health network can expect a careful, unhurried psychiatric evaluation. He will take time to hear the full history — including substance use, family medical history, prior medications and what they did or didn't do — before recommending a direction.
He is dedicated to delivering evidence-based care that supports long-term mental health and recovery. In practice, he won't over-prescribe, won't under-prescribe, and will revisit the plan with you on a real cadence.
