Editorial & Medical Review Policy

Addiction and insurance information affects real decisions. This page explains how we research, write, source and review everything we publish.

Our commitment to accuracy

Every page is written to be accurate, current and genuinely useful to people seeking treatment in California and their families. We explain treatment and insurance in plain language, without exaggeration or scare tactics.

How our content is created

• Researched from credible sources — clinical and coverage information draws on recognized authorities such as SAMHSA, NIDA, ASAM and California's health agencies (see our References & Sources).
• Reviewed before publishing by our clinical and admissions team for accuracy.
• Updated regularly as guidelines, programs and insurance details change.

What this content is — and isn't

This information is for general education. It is not medical advice and is not a substitute for a professional clinical assessment. It is also not a guarantee of insurance coverage — your benefits depend on your specific plan, which we verify at no cost.
