The Scott Daniel Project was launched in 2010 to help support Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals and Transgenders (LGBT) in recovery. For various reasons including higher rates of trauma and stigmatization, LGBT face a number of economic and health disparities. This helps you understand why LGBT have one of the highest rates of substance use disorders; rates similar to war veterans with post traumatic stress disorder. The Project was named after Scott Daniel, a prominent litigation attorney in the Houston/Galveston area who died of an overdose in late 2009. While Scott was able to win many battles in the court room, we was unable to overcome the internal battles of depression, substance use and stigma. In memory of Scott Daniel, SoberHood created the project to develop and promotes recovery support services resources for LGBT seeking and sustaining recovery. Project Highlights:
