They Thought It Was Just Xanax—Now They’re Dead | Richard Taite

Culture Apothecary with Alex Clark · Oct 17, 2025 · 1h

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.

Thank you to…
