"Together, HOPE Recovery Resources and Sherlock's Homes Foundation are committed to helping more LGBTQ+ individuals access personalized addiction recovery and behavioral health services with industry-leading standards of care", said Beth Sanders, CEO of HOPE Recovery Resources.

"Our programs are National Alliance for Recovery Residences (NARR) certified, and in our homes, we promote integrity, ethics, and a family environment.  We believe that there are as many pathways to recovery as individuals who seek it, and we best integrate recovery within a community of support. At Lambda HOPE, we offer a different way to bond, where recovery is the common element. We aren't treatment.  We are a safe place to celebrate all that we are."

According to the Recovery Research Institute, it is estimated that members of the LGBTQ+ community are 3 times more likely to abuse drugs and alcohol than the population as a whole.  LGBTQ+ individuals suffer from higher rates of substance addiction due in part to societally imposed obstacles they face than those who identify as heterosexual.  Often, LGBTQ+ individuals will turn to drugs and alcohol to cope with the stress, anxiety and depression resulting from these challenges.  Yet, there is a lack of LGBTQ+ recovery resources across the country.

"Less than 1% of all recovery facilities offer services specifically tailored to the needs of LGBTQ+ individuals", said Jacob Reide Jennings, Founder of Sherlock's Homes Foundation. That is why it is so critically important that we create safe places and eliminate barriers to entry for anyone in the LGBTQ+ community to find recovery help.  We are invested in advancing Lambda HOPE's ability to provide standards-based recovery care to LGBTQ+ communities and to help power true change where it is most needed."

Offering a full spectrum of continuing care recovery services, Lambda HOPE's goal is offer at least one LGBTQ+ sanctuary home in every state.
