Editorial Policy
How we ensure every page on RehabHive provides accurate, evidence-based information about addiction treatment and recovery.
Our Editorial Standards
Research-First Approach
All content begins with primary research from government databases (SAMHSA, NIDA, NIH, CDC), peer-reviewed journals, and clinical guidelines from ASAM. We never publish claims without verifiable source attribution.
Multi-Step Fact-Checking
Every page passes through four review stages: initial research, content drafting against our style guide, editorial review for accuracy and completeness, and clinical review against current treatment guidelines. Statistics are cross-referenced with original government datasets.
Regular Updates
Treatment information changes. New research emerges, insurance policies shift, and facilities update their programs. Our editorial team reviews published content on a monthly cycle, updating statistics, verifying facility data, and incorporating new clinical findings.
Editorial Independence
RehabHive maintains complete editorial independence. Content is never influenced by advertisers, treatment facilities, or commercial interests. Treatment recommendations are based solely on clinical evidence and established best practices. We do not accept payment for favorable reviews, rankings, or placement.

No Fictional Personas
We do not attribute content to fictional authors or reviewers. We do not use `reviewedBy` schema relationships to people or boards we cannot back with a real, named individual holding verifiable credentials. Content on RehabHive is produced by the RehabHive Organization and fact-checked against the primary sources listed above (SAMHSA, CDC, NIDA, NIH, CMS). When editorial contributions are authored by named licensed clinicians in the future, they will be clearly attributed with their credentials and public profiles.
