Scott H. Silverman - Author, Speaker, Addiction Expert
I empower individuals and families to move forward past the crisis and onto the road of recovery.
As founder of Second Chance, I worked to break the cycle of substance abuse, unemployment, poverty, and homelessness for 25,000 at-risk teens and adults going through the incarceration system. I was recognized by the city of San Francisco with Scott H. Silverman Day in 2008. Since then, I founded Confidential Recovery, an intensive outpatient substance abuse recovery program in San Diego and we celebrated our 10 year Anniversary in 2024.
Recognizing the glaring need that veterans have for services, I also founded the Veterans Navigation Center.
But that’s not why you want to work with me.
You want to work with me because I have been there. I’ve been through the fire and come out on the other side. Forty years ago I was on the edge. Struggling from addiction, considering suicide, and feeling like things were unraveling. I was at rock bottom. The day after trying to kill myself, I flew home and immediately entered treatment. I lived the embarrassment, fear, and helplessness surrounding addiction. And I have come out the other side whole.
Today I get to live life on life’s terms and I get to give back. I am now over 40 years sober, working to empower others on their journey. Regardless if they are a high-powered lawyer turning to opioids, an at-risk teen struggling with suicide, an abusive spouse, or a family dynamic that needs to be addressed, I get results.
Additionally, I am the author of several books, most recently, You’re Not Go, That Job is Taken, read more about it and see reviews on my site here, or buy it from Amazon here.
