Our team includes highly educated medical professionals and content experts dedicated to addiction science. This includes psychiatrists, epidemiologists, social workers, addiction medicine specialists and counselors – many with 10+ years clinical expertise from respected institutions like Johns Hopkins and NYU Langone. Additionally, some of our writers and peer support volunteers bring invaluable lived experience with addiction and recovery.

Before publication, articles are rigorously fact-checked by our Medical Review Board of addiction specialists to ensure accuracy and relevance. We reference government agencies, textbooks and peer-reviewed journals so readers receive fair, medically-sound perspectives grounded in current research. Our editorial team, including veteran health journalists and public health PhD graduates, then refines each piece to uphold our standards for accessibility, compassion and scientific rigor.
