Project Ninety provided the opportunity for me to change my life. I was lost with no direction and Project Ninety gave me the structure I needed to make my life manageable on a daily basis. This program gave me the tools not only to change my life, but improve my life. It also gave me the support of a lifelong brotherhood, and will always be a place I call home.
No more do I have to allow my addiction to run my life. Through this program, I have grown tremendously, and will continue to grow. I'm happy with whom I see in the mirror and I'm grateful to Project Ninety for helping me become the man I am today.

I had given up on life, I had given up on my family, and most of all, I had given up on me. That was the mindset I had when entering Project Ninety. Being a part of something so special has given me a sense of purpose and the necessary structure in my life today.
This program provides tools in order to live life on life's terms and I am proud to be an example of that.
Today, I dedicate my life to helping others and I am determined to continue to show others that this program works.

After battling Cocaine, Heroin and Alcohol for over 20 years, and 18 years going in and out of jails, and failed attempts at getting clean in other treatment facilities around the bay area, I came to Project Ninety in May of 2007 to avoid doing an 18-month program. I got here with 17 cents in my pocket and the clothes on my back and had no idea what was going to happen to me or how it would happen; I just wanted my life to change.
After 45 days, I put in a request for an extension and went into 5th phase after 90 days. After 70 days of 5th phase, I became a mentor (peer coordinator) in San Jose for which I filled an 8-month commitment. I became a Resident Manager in 2008 and in 2010 I became an Intake Assistant.
Thanks to the professional staff and especially to Mr. Jim Stansberry's Commitment to Excellence group, I learned to not only live a new life without the use of mind-altering substances--I learned to become productive and responsible.
Since coming to Project Ninety, I have gone back to school to enhance my professional skills, lived independently, and I continue to participate in 12 step recovery support groups. I owe and dedicate my new life to God and Project Ninety for showing me a new way of life.

I was unable to resist self-destruction. Every part of me knew what I was doing to my life was unnatural. My mind was so defeated and hopeless that I did not believe I would be able to overcome the cycle of destruction I found myself in. Project Ninety introduced me to the individuals that put me back together. Long lasting supportive friendships are made everyday at Project Ninety. There is no other way to say it, “Project Ninety provided for me when I had nothing, literally nothing.” I am who I am today based in part on my willingness to take advantage of what was being offered. Today, I do my best to pass on to others the information that was freely given to me.

"Welcome to Project Ninety. You are in the right place!"
This is heard at Project Ninety facilities on a daily basis in South San Francisco, San Mateo, and San Jose. Adult men and women, who are at any of these locations, are provided with an opportunity to change their lives in a very welcoming environment. Project Ninety prides itself on being a place where men and women can receive treatment services in a safe, compassionate, and comfortable environment.
The “Ninety” in Project Ninety refers to two things. The first is one of the pillars of the program is folks new in recovery attend 90 twelve step meetings over 90 consecutive days. Secondly, our standard length of treatment is 90 days. Miracles do happen during this time frame.
Thousands of individuals have begun the process of change in our program. Project Ninety is only a catalyst. It is the men and women who choose to take the opportunity provided for them that are responsible for their transformation. Lives are changed. Families and communities are strengthened. Absolutely everybody benefits from an individual becoming and remaining clean and sober.
We invite you to navigate our website. Whether it is because you are well aware of Project Ninety and just want to see what we are up to or you are seeking help for yourself, a loved one, or an employee. Though the information here is helpful, please give us a call with any questions. The decision to seek recovery for yourself or others is not easy and we will be happy to talk with you about what to expect.
What you will know is that if you or someone you care for does enter treatment at Project Ninety, Inc, the phrase “You are in the right place!”, will resonate on a daily basis.
We wish you well in your endeavors.
In Friendship,
Project Ninety, Inc.
Project Ninety, Inc.
For more than three decades, Project Ninety, Inc. has served individuals, families and the Bay Area community through its residential alcohol and substance abuse treatment services. What began in 1972 as a humble idea has grown into a premier human services organization with over 200 treatment beds. We are a California Alcohol and Drug Programs (ADP) licensed, nonprofit residential substance abuse treatment program with facilities in two Northern California counties (Santa Clara and San Mateo).
Through the years, Project Ninety has treated more than 20,000 individuals suffering from the disease of addiction. Project Ninety’s services are designed to treat the diverse communities in which we live. We provide services to adult men and women whose circumstances are varied. They might be homeless, highly educated/skilled, and straight from prison or jail, unemployable or have limited language skills. All these people have an addiction to substances in common, regardless of their socioeconomic standing, race, cultural background, education, age, or their life experience.
Is treatment cost effective? Research has shown that every dollar spent on substance abuse treatment saves seven dollars in other taxpayer-supported services. These tax-driven services include frequent emergency room visits, use of emergency responders, psychiatric services and jails/prisons — just to name a few. Statistics also indicate that approximately eleven million children in the United States live in homes where there is at least one parent that is a substance abuser.
Project Ninety, through its treatment, helps reduce the burden addiction has on the community. The community includes families, children, neighbors, and employers. To add perspective for those who support Project Ninety financially: a donation helps the community in both tangible and intangible ways that far exceed the actual monetary contribution. Treatment has a true exponential effect; research shows treatment can reduce domestic violence, truancy, traffic fatalities, crime, unwanted pregnancies, child abuse, HIV, and even heart disease.
Many come to Project Ninety without any family to speak of. Through the process of recovery, individuals learn that new relationships can be forged. These ties are often referred to as “new” family. Like the traditional family, these alliances are supportive, nurturing, and vital to success — be it in recovery, professionally, or spiritually. Project Ninety’s dedicated staff reflects diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds and includes bilingual employees. Attesting to the commitment of staff, about a third of Project Ninety’s employees have been with the agency for more than seven years. Many staff members are also recovering addicts themselves, putting into direct practice the concept of one addict helping another.
Project Ninety has been recognized both locally and around the state for its continued success and contribution to the community. In each of the counties where Project Ninety provides services it is recognized as being cost effective and highly successful.
Project Ninety’s name is based on a Twelve Step tradition of 90 meetings in 90 days. Research has shown that significant improvement in recovery happens at three months. Project Ninety is proud of its programs based on this concept, and of the impact they have not only on clients, but on families and the community as well.
