MISSION
Center for Open Recovery champions long-term
recovery from addiction through advocacy,
education, collaboration and service.
PURPOSE
Responding to the void in leadership,
programs, policies, education, and services in
the San Francisco Bay Area that are focused on
sustaining long-term recovery from addiction.
G OA L
End addiction and recovery stigma. Mobilize
Bay Area residents in recovery. Change the
way addiction is perceived, policy is created,
treatment delivered and recovery supported.
FOCUS
Creating ‘recovery-ready communities’
through collaboration of cross-sector
partnerships committed to sustaining
recovery as a critical component of public
health and personal wellness.
FOUNDED
1957 as the SF Bay Area independent affi liate
of the New York based National Council on
Alcoholism and Drug Dependence.
NEW NAME
Our name change reflects an evolution of
identity grounded in our founding purpose to
respond to the unmet needs in our community
to reduce the prevalence and consequences of
alcoholism and drug addiction. We are doing
this by helping people find and sustain paths
to long-term recovery—and thus are focusing
on the solution rather than the disease.

Strengthening Families is a 14-week,
evidence-based, intervention program for
high-risk families in low income communities
to reduce problem behaviors, delinquency
and drug abuse and to increase resiliency,
communication and parenting skills. We
partner with the City and County of San
Francisco to support healthier families.
Fund this program to reach more families in need.
T-L Third Space is a project in development
creating safe and accessible places off the
streets for marginally housed and homeless
addicts who currently spend their days on
the sidewalks of San Francisco. A collective
impact response to a population in crisis. We
collaborate with a cross-sector of key Bay Area
providers, organizations and civic partners to
support many paths to recovery and a healthy,
safer community.
Help advance this project.
Project Connect is a youth advocacy, afterschool, mentor-style program for teenagers to
become agents of positive change in their own
neighborhoods. We partner with other local
direst service community-based nonprofi ts to
support healthy and empowered youth.
Help enrich this project.
Diversion is a program geared to helping
participants make positive lifestyles changes
through the reduction of and/or elimination of
problem drug related behaviors. We provide
a supportive, educational, and therapeutic
environment in which to make informed and
healthy decisions.
Help keep this program affordable.
DUI Classes are designed as an intervention,
with education and psychodyanmic group
sessions. Participants break through barriers
of denial, become honest about their
relationship with substances and identify
risky behaviors that need to change. We offer
classes in a variety of languages to meet the
needs of a diverse population.
Support enables us to transform a punitive
consequence into a healing opportunity.
Counseling and Assessments for couples
and individuals to examine, reassess and
re-establish their relationship with drugs and
alcohol. We offer low-cost access to highly
experienced drug and alcohol counselors.
A gift from you can provide counseling for those
who otherwise could not afford these services.
Project Choice is an award-winning, classroombased, prevention education program for
students in grades 4 through 8 offering ageappropriate information, support and tools to
navigate peer pressure and life’s realities.
Support brings this program to more Bay
Area children.
