How We Write and Review This Content

People make decisions about their care based on pages like these. Here is how ours are written, who reviews them, and how to tell us when we get something wrong.

Why This Page Exists

People make decisions about their own care, or a family member's, based on what they read on sites like this one. That is a serious responsibility, so this page sets out how our content is written, reviewed and corrected.

How Content Is Created

Clinical content is drafted with input from the people who deliver the care it describes, then checked against published medical sources before it goes live. We describe what we actually provide. If a service is not offered here, we do not write a page targeting it.

Medical Review

Pages describing conditions or treatment are reviewed by Pamela Tambini, MD, who is board certified in Internal Medicine and Addiction Medicine. Reviewed pages carry the reviewer's name and the date of review at the foot of the page.

How We Source Claims

Where we make a clinical claim we link to the evidence beside it, so you can check it yourself rather than take our word for it. We prefer, in order:

  • US federal health agencies — NIMH, NIAAA, NIDA and the National Library of Medicine
  • Peer-reviewed literature indexed in PubMed Central
  • Clinical practice guidelines from recognised professional bodies

We do not cite our own marketing material as evidence, and we do not quote success rates. Recovery outcomes vary between people, and a facility quoting a single success-rate figure is telling you more about its marketing than its clinical care.

What We Will Not Publish

  • Guarantees of outcome, or claims that any treatment cures a condition
  • Statistics without a source you can check
  • Testimonials or photographs that identify a resident
  • Stock photography presented as our facility

Corrections

If something here is wrong, tell us and we will fix it. Email corrections@thewellnessranchky.com. Substantive corrections update the review date on the page concerned.

Advertising and Independence

We do not sell advertising, accept sponsored content, or take payment for placement on this site. Every link here points either to our own pages or to a medical source we cite as evidence.
