THE FORCE BEHIND HEALING HOLLYWOOD "RICHARD TAITE"

 

Richard Taite

In an industry saturated with short-term fixes and one-size-fits-all programs, Richard Taite is carving out a different path—one that’s rigorous, personal, and deeply effective. The founder and executive chairman of Carrara Treatment Wellness & Spa, a cutting-edge recovery and wellness model born in Malibu, Taite is now stepping onto the national stage, bringing his revolutionary approach to addiction treatment and trauma healing to a broader audience.

Best known for founding the internationally renowned Cliffside Malibu, Richard Taite is a name already whispered in Hollywood’s inner circles. Celebrities, high-performers, and trauma survivors alike have quietly sought out his expertise for over two decades. Now, with Carrara Treatment poised for national expansion, Taite is ready to rewrite the story of rehab across the country.

Carrara Treatment goes beyond addiction recovery – it is a full spectrum wellness experience. Each client’s journey includes evidence-based therapy, nutritional optimization, Executive-level concierge care, and access to spa-grade amenities designed to restore the mind, body and spirit. Grounded in neuroscience and bolstered by intensive one-on-one support, Carrara Treatment incorporates a blend of evidence-based modalities, nutritional optimization, life coaching, and executive-level concierge care. With a focus on root-cause healing rather than symptom management, it aims to help clients rebuild—not just recover.

“At Carrara, we’re one-of-one” says Taite, “We don’t believe in institutional warehousing or outdated group therapy norms. We focus on what works: individual attention, scientific rigor, and true accountability.”

Taite’s own story of overcoming addiction is a powerful part of his authenticity. He once battled drug dependency and a near-collapse of his life before devoting himself to recovery, entrepreneurship, and neuroscience-based therapeutic solutions. His programs are informed by lived experience, clinical insight, and an obsession with outcomes.

Unlike many programs that rely on volume, Carrara Treatment is intentionally small and selective. This allows its team, comprised of PhDs, trauma experts, and functional medicine professionals, to deliver concierge-level service and 360-degree wellness strategies that are measurable and individualized. Clients are often high-profile, but discretion is absolute. For Taite, what matters most is whether someone is ready to change and is willing to do the work.

The expansion of Carrara Treatment marks a pivotal moment in the evolution of care for addiction, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and executive burnout. Taite is currently in discussions to expand availability to their unique program.

“I have seen what works and what fails,” says Taite. “Carrara is not just a luxury, it is a necessity. We are here to save lives, not just treat conditions.”

As America grapples with an ongoing mental health and addiction crisis, Richard Taite and Carrara Treatment offer something rare: a results-driven, human-centered path forward that doesn’t just promise recovery, it demands it.
