In The Trenches is hosted by Cary Quashen, a treatment expert with over 45 years of sobriety. This program is dedicated to uncovering the "skeletons in the closet" and discussing the difficult topics of addiction, mental health, and the modern drug crisis that society often avoids. Drawing on four decades of experience, the show serves as a platform for survival stories and a warning that in today's landscape of counterfeit pills and fentanyl, "everything kills".
