Our mission is to help readers discover retreats and programs safely and confidently through accurate, clear, and independent information.

How we create content

1. Topic selection: Based on reader questions, public health priorities, seasonal demand, and search interest in wellness and recovery topics.
2. Writers and editors: Articles are drafted by experienced researchers and editors with health, travel, or consumer-guide backgrounds. When topics are clinical or safety-critical, we involve our Review Board for oversight.
3. Research standards: We prioritize primary sources (peer-reviewed journals, clinical guidelines, public health authorities, government regulations), then reputable secondary sources (textbooks, major medical organizations), and use tertiary summaries only to orient readers.
4. Fact checking: See our Fact Checking and Sources page for definitions, hierarchies, and required citations.
5. Human oversight: We may use assistive tools for organization, grammar, or data extraction, but all publishable text is reviewed and approved by human editors. Assistive outputs are never published without human revision.
6. Updates: Content is reviewed on a schedule set in our Content Update Policy and whenever credible new evidence or safety advisories emerge.

Independence and integrity

• Editorial independence: Our editorial team makes all content decisions. Advertisers, sponsors, affiliates, and commercial partners do not review, approve, or direct our content.
• Financial relationships: We may earn advertising or affiliate revenue (see Advertising Policy and Affiliate Disclosure). These relationships do not influence our rankings, recommendations, or coverage.
• Conflicts of interest: Contributors must disclose financial or personal relationships with organizations mentioned. Relevant disclosures are added to the article or the author page.

Style and readability

• Plain language first; we define technical terms and avoid exaggerated claims.
• We avoid unproven promises and clearly label emerging or experimental approaches.
