Recovery Beyond Addiction: Redefining Healing with Trent Carter

In this episode of Healing Horizons, host Pragya sits down with Trent Carter, board-certified addiction specialist, nurse practitioner, and author of The Recovery Tool Belt. Recovery is more than breaking free from alcohol or drugs—it’s about rebuilding after burnout, heartbreak, or even digital overload. Trent shares why the recovery model needs a major update, how his clinics in New Mexico are transforming lives, and the three pillars of lasting change: awareness, education, and action. This conversation is a direct look at what real recovery means today, both inside and outside addiction.

Key Takeaways  

• Recovery is broader than addiction—it includes burnout, heartbreak, and harmful habits.

• Stigma remains a major barrier; education and awareness are critical for change.

• Effective healing spaces require both empowered staff and individualized care.

• True transformation blends mindset (the engine) with practical tools (the fuel and structure).

• Breakthroughs often start with awareness but require action to make lasting impact.

• Building resilience in recovery and business follows similar mindsets: discipline, adaptability, and persistence.

• Trent’s Recovery Tool Belt emphasizes a simple yet powerful cycle: Awareness → Education → Action.
