They Thought It Was Just Xanax—Now They’re Dead | Richard Taite
Culture Apothecary with Alex Clark
How Agents and Managers Enable Celebrity Addiction
Alex asks if teams enable clients; Richard confirms and recounts pressure to discharge celebrities early for work.
What if the drug killing an entire generation is hiding in plain sight? 💊
I sit down with Richard Taite — world-renowned addiction recovery expert and founder of Carrara Wellness & Spa in Los Angeles — to unpack the fentanyl epidemic, the rise of ketamine therapy, and what President Trump is doing to fight back against this growing crisis.
We discuss why fentanyl is now the #1 killer of young adults, how celebrities and veterans are getting caught in addiction, and what actually helps when someone you love is spiraling — and why there’s still hope, even in the darkest moments.
