Editorial Policy
Everything we publish follows these standards so you can rely on the information you find here.
Accuracy first
We prioritize factual, current information over opinion. Medical and legal claims are sourced from authoritative bodies — the FDA, DEA, NIDA, SAMHSA, and peer-reviewed literature.
Non-promotional
We never provide dosing, sourcing, or instructions that could encourage drug use. Our content is strictly educational, harm-aware, and recovery-focused.
Medical review
Health content is reviewed by credentialed addiction and clinical professionals. Each page shows its author, reviewer, and last-reviewed date.
Transparency
We disclose authorship, cite our sources, and keep a visible medical disclaimer on every health page. We do not publish anonymous medical claims.
Compassion
We write for people in difficult moments and their families. Language is clear, plain, and free of stigma, sensationalism, or fear-mongering.
Freshness
Pillars are refreshed quarterly and legal information is updated as regulations change. We re-review content and bump the last-reviewed date accordingly.
Our sources
We cite government health agencies and peer-reviewed research. You can explore the studies and references we rely on in our research library, and learn about our reviewers on our about page.
