All In Solutions Editorial Standards & Content Policy

Whether you’re searching the internet for information on treatment for the first time, trying to better understand what a loved one is going through, or simply looking for reassurance that recovery can happen, the information you find on this website is important to you.

We take this responsibility very seriously. All the content you will find on this website meets a common standard: the content is accurate, compassionate, and based on evidence, and it is presented in a manner that will allow each person who visits this site to maintain their dignity. 

Why Accurate Information Is Essential

The misinformation surrounding substance use and addiction is widespread and causes significant harm. Misinformation serves to perpetuate stigma, build confusion around what treatment is really all about, and keep people from getting the help they need.

We help our visitors by providing reliable resources that go beyond superficial content to include clinically based information regarding substance use disorders, mental health disorders, treatment methods, and the recovery process. After visiting a page on this website, our hope is that each person leaves with new knowledge rather than feeling overwhelmed, and with a sense of hope rather than shame.

Who Creates and Reviews Our Content

All of the clinical and educational content on this website is created by people who are qualified to do so with expertise in the fields of addiction medicine, behavioral health, and recovery. This includes licensed professional counselors, licensed clinical social workers, and certified alcohol and drug counselors, as well as physicians with a specialization in addiction medicine.

Prior to publishing, all content goes through an organized review process that involves checking for clinical accuracy, appropriate language, and adherence to current standards of care. Content is reviewed by credentialed professionals — not simply editors — who have a clear understanding of the specific nuances associated with the topics being reviewed.

Many of our team members have personally been in recovery for several years and have personally experienced what it feels like to be in the position that many of our readers are in.

Our Standards for Sources and Evidence

There are many websites with outdated, misleading, or poorly sourced health information on the internet. We maintain a higher standard, and our personnel are responsible for ensuring that all of the sources we use meet this standard. All of our sources of data, statistics, and clinical research are peer-reviewed, trustworthy sources. Examples of sources we use include:

• The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA)
• The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA)
• The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA)
• The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
• Peer-reviewed journals in addiction medicine, psychiatry, and behavioral health
• The American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM)

We do not use any sources that cannot be verified through an independent organization, we do not represent someone else’s opinion as clinical fact, and we take care to always indicate when the evidence available on a particular topic is either conflicting or still evolving.

Keeping Content Current

The field of addiction treatment continues to evolve with new research, changing treatment standards, and ongoing development of our understanding of substance use disorder. 

We make a commitment to reviewing and updating our content on a regular basis in order to reflect the latest and best evidence available. If you ever find something on our website that appears to be out of date or inaccurate, please do not hesitate to reach out and let us know.

Person-First, Stigma-Free Language

The words we use to talk about addiction and people who struggle with it carry great meaning. Language that reduces someone to a diagnosis or implies that addiction is a moral failure perpetuates the shame that prevents people from seeking help. 

The All In Solutions editorial team is committed to using person-first language throughout its content. This is not about being politically correct — it is about recognizing that one of the biggest barriers to treatment is shame and that our language either contributes to these barriers or dismantles them.

A Note on Medical Advice

All of the educational content on this website is intended for informational purposes and does not substitute for medical advice, diagnosis, or medical treatment. Each individual’s situation is unique, and the most effective treatment will vary greatly from person to person depending on the outcomes of a thorough clinical evaluation.

If you or someone you know is in a medical emergency, call 911 immediately. If you are ready to speak with someone about treatment options, our admissions team is available around the clock.
