I empower individuals and families to move forward past the crisis and onto the road of recovery.
What happens when someone who's been through the wringer turns their life around and helps others do the same? Meet Scott Silverman, a man who has journeyed from the depths of addiction and incarceration to become a beacon of hope for many. In this episode of 'Nowhere To Go But Up', host Sean Dustin sits down with Scott to discuss his incredible transformation and his tireless work in prison reform and community re-entry.
Scott's story isn't just about survival; it's about thriving against the odds. He opens up about his darkest days, struggling with addiction and contemplating suicide, and how he found the strength to pull himself back from the brink. Now, as a crisis coach, interventionist, and founder of Second Chance, Scott dedicates his life to breaking the cycle of substance abuse, unemployment, and homelessness among at-risk teens and adults.
The conversation covers the flaws in the prison system, particularly its failure to rehabilitate those incarcerated for substance-related offenses. Scott argues that true rehabilitation requires robust support systems for re-entry into society, including employment opportunities and mentorship. One of his innovative ideas is to connect non-profits with dispensaries to reintegrate those previously incarcerated for marijuana offenses into the workforce.
Scott also sheds light on the often-overlooked struggles of families living with addicts, emphasizing that their trauma can be just as severe. His passion for helping others find their way out of crisis is palpable, making this episode a must-listen for anyone interested in social justice, recovery, or personal growth. Tune in to hear Scott's inspiring journey and his vision for a more supportive and understanding society.
