Our Editorial Review Process
We follow a strict process to ensure every article meets our standards before it reaches your screen. All content published by Meridian Recovery is:
Written by Qualified Contributors
All content published on our website is created by individuals with the appropriate professional credentials or subject matter knowledge. No content is created without a comprehensive understanding of the clinical and human aspects of the subject matter being discussed.
Medically Reviewed Before Publication
Our articles, guides, and resource pages undergo a medical review by a licensed clinical professional for medical accuracy before going live on our website. This review serves as an important checkpoint to ensure we are only providing accurate information presented in accordance with the current standards of care. We do not publish inaccurate content that could inadvertently mislead or cause potential harm to the reader.
Sourced from Authoritative References
When statements are made in the content published on our website regarding clinical outcomes, types of treatment methods, or volume of medical facts, those statements have citations to the appropriate and credible source. We only use peer-reviewed research, guidelines provided by recognized medical and governmental organizations, and established clinical literature to substantiate all claims. In addition, we also provide citations to allow readers to verify independently the information provided.
Reviewed and Updated on an Ongoing Basis
Publishing accurate information is not a one-time effort. The field of addiction medicine and mental health continues to evolve, and the editorial review process we use reflects the continual movement of the field. Articles and resources published on our site will be reviewed and updated on a regular basis to ensure they are accurate, current, and valuable over the long-term. Any changes made to articles or resources will be reflected in the published content.
What We Do Not Publish
We do not publish articles with unproven medical claims, recommend unproven medical treatments, present opinions regarding addiction and mental health issues as fact, or publish any article that has not been reviewed for clinical accuracy.
We are committed to transparency, and where we have a lack of knowledge of a specific subject area, or the research around it is mixed or evolving, we will state that to avoid misrepresenting our confidence in what we say.
A Note on the Purpose of Our Content
The information we provide on our website is for educational purposes and intended to assist clients and their families in making informed decisions regarding treatment for their addiction.
It is not intended to replace professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. If you or someone close to you is struggling with addiction, please reach out to a qualified medical professional or contact our admissions staff.
Our belief in providing accurate and compassionate resources plays an integral part of the recovery process. When individuals understand what they face and what choices are available to them, they are better prepared to take the next step toward healing.
