Editorial & trust policy
How Drug Rehab Trusted Clinic is written, sourced, reviewed, and funded — in plain terms, because in this field you deserve to know exactly who is telling you this and why.
This is free, independent consumer education — not medical advice and not a directory. We accept no money from treatment providers, sell no leads, and take no referral fees. Content is clinically reviewed by a real, named, license-verifiable counselor and cited to primary sources (SAMHSA, FTC, Joint Commission, CARF, NIDA).
Who publishes this
Drug Rehab Trusted Clinic is published and maintained by Maantis. Editorial content is written and maintained by the Maantis Editorial Team and clinically reviewed (see below).
How we make money — and how we don't
This is a free guide. We do not sell leads, we do not take referral fees, we are not paid by any treatment provider, and we list no facilities. We do not engage in or tolerate patient brokering in any form. The only commercial link on this entire site is a single credit to Maantis, the studio that builds and maintains it. Because no facility pays us and we recommend none, we have nothing to sell and no incentive to steer you.
How we source information
Guidance is grounded in primary, non-commercial sources: the SAMHSA National Helpline and FindTreatment.gov, the Federal Trade Commission on deceptive advertising, The Joint Commission and CARF accreditation registries, the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) principles of effective treatment, and federal resources on parity (Dept. of Labor) and surprise billing (CMS). Where a claim rests on a specific source, we cite it on the page.
How content is reviewed
Every guide is checked against those primary sources and carries a "last reviewed" date. Our content is clinically reviewed by Ariadne Wright-Zamelis, LMHC — a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (license LMHC10549, status: current). Her credentials are publicly verifiable: NPI 1639558968 on the federal NPPES registry, plus the state licensing board. We render her credit honestly as "Clinically reviewed by" — and never with a physician-style "Dr." byline — because she is a licensed counselor, not a physician, and we never overstate a credential or invent one. This is editorial review for accuracy by a licensed clinician; it is not individual medical advice or a clinician-patient relationship.
This is information, not medical advice
Nothing here diagnoses, treats, or replaces care from a licensed professional. Addiction and withdrawal can be medically serious — some withdrawal (including from alcohol and benzodiazepines) can be dangerous. Always talk to a clinician about your situation. In an emergency call 911; for free, confidential help any time call the SAMHSA National Helpline at 1-800-662-HELP (4357) or call/text 988.
