Sometimes the most meaningful change does not start in a boardroom or a big city. It starts when one person decides they cannot look away anymore. That is exactly what happened with today’s guest.

After seeing firsthand the urgent need for compassionate and accessible substance use disorder treatment in his New Mexico community, Trent Carter decided to take action.

Trent is a nurse practitioner with a master’s degree from the University of Cincinnati and the founder of Renew Health, a recovery center built on the belief that everyone deserves hope, healing, and a real chance at recovery. Under his leadership, Renew Health has been named the best drug and alcohol rehab center in New Mexico and continues to grow by reaching more people, breaking down barriers to care, and reshaping what recovery can look like.

In this episode of Grieving Out Loud, Trent shares how Renew Health began, what truly helps when someone you love is struggling with substance use disorder, and how we can start to turn the tide on the addiction epidemic together.
