Founded by Trent Carter

The Addiction Recovery Foundation is a non-profit foundation that was built from years of frontline experience in addiction treatment, public health, and community recovery. Its founder, Trent Carter, has dedicated his career to transforming how addiction is understood and treated, shifting the focus from punishment to healing, from stigma to science, and from isolation to connection.

Through his work as a healthcare provider at Renew Health, published author of The Recovery Tool Belt, and fierce advocate- Trent has seen what works: compassionate care, accountability, and access to evidence-based treatment. The Addiction Recovery Foundation exists to put those principles into action, helping communities expand access to recovery services, train providers in effective care, and support individuals and families every step of the way.

At its core, The Addiction Recovery Foundation is about building systems that give people a real chance to recover, rebuild, and thrive.
