What brings someone to the doors of Renascent? Sometimes it’s desperation, sometimes it’s determination, sometimes it’s fear. For ValMarie, it was all three. This Thanksgiving we are grounded in gratitude for the many people who enable us to provide life-changing addiction treatment. To our staff, alumni, donors, and champions, thank you for your efforts and commitment to helping people find hope once again. #Thanksgiving #Addiction #Renascent #Recovery #Gratitude #RecoveryCommunity #AddictionTreatment #ClientExperience #12StepCommunity #ValuesDriven #AddictionRecovery #SubstanceUseRecovery #HealthAndWellness (fb)

“Imagine walking down a winter field on the coldest day with no shelter… that’s what addiction felt like.” Benjamin struggled for years with substance use, stress, and mental health challenges. Yet, his story is one of faith, courage, and renewal. With the support of his employer and Renascent, he found the strength to start over. Today, his life is filled with family, service, and rediscovering childlike curiosity. His message? “You’re not alone… just know that someplace, somewhere, someone is rooting for you.” Today is World Mental Health Day! Reach out for help, if you need it. We’re always happy to be a listening ear. Read Benjamin’s story: https://renascent.ca/benjamins-story-just-know-someones-rooting-for-you/ (fb)
