Mariposas has brought meaningful support to families who have a loved one who is addicted. With 63% families with a family member who has an addiction, the need for prayerful and well-informed support is great. The program has been piloted for 5 years. All participants to date have found it very helpful, leading several back to the Church and several addicts into recover.
