Addiction Group is an informational web guide that was founded in 2019. Our website was created to help those struggling with alcohol use disorders (AUD), substance use disorders (SUD), and/or co-occurring mental health disorders find treatment for their addiction. Addiction Group is owned and funded by Treatment Pathway LLC, an informational marketing company that specializes in producing authoritative medical content based on addiction literature, accredited scientific journals, and current research in the field.

All content published on Addiction Group is written by our team of journalists, researchers, doctors, and medical professionals. Every piece of content written on this site is fact-based and original. It is sourced from current scientific research, such as scholarly articles, textbooks, government agencies, and medical journals. Lastly, every article is fact-checked by an addiction counseling expert before publication. This ensures the content is accurate, relevant, and up-to-date with current research and addiction terminology.

Sources of funding do not affect the quality of our content. We thoroughly vet all companies that we partner with to provide services for our readers.
