This nonprofit organization has completely changed my life. My husband is a recovering addict mainly in part to Compassion in Action Ministries. My family was in the verge of separation due to the addictive chains of my husbands illness. Today, one year later he has been able to maintain sobriety, he is continuing towards a greater recovery path and we are a happy family once again. All of this is possible due to those who work everyday in order for families like mine to have the opportunity to break free from the chains of addiction, Compassion in Action Ministries.

Thank you for everything,

The M. Family!

After spending time with the directors Maria Elena and Roberto Anderson, and seeing their passion to inspire, equip and free the community from the destructive life additions can bring, I can say it's been an honor as a motivational speaker to be have been able to share with their group, and contribute to their success in helping individuals to discover their true potential and how to be free once and for all from all kinds of addictions.

I love the way they welcome you and your family with open arms. They are always at reach when you need them to guide you and assist you. If they can't help you because of any reason they refer you to someone who can. No matter how much time has passed they are always a phone call or visit away.

Compassion In Action has picked the perfect name to represent their organization. For the Love, the commitment and the knowledge that they pour into not only the addict but the codependent family members is incredible.
Usually places likewise it the quality of professional they have cost individuals seeking for help a lot a Money. CIA is completely free ! what can be more compassionate than this, to take care of those that are in bondage with no cost...
They definitely are a tremendous HELP for anyone looking for a solution to cut addiction and recover what has been Lost.
