Editorial Policy

Last updated: July 2026.

This page explains how Recovery Wellspring creates its content, the sources we rely on, and how we keep information accurate. Our goal is to give clear, trustworthy guidance about using insurance for addiction treatment.

How We Create Our Content

Our content is written in plain language and reviewed for accuracy and tone before publishing. We focus on being genuinely useful — explaining how insurance coverage generally works, what to ask, and how to verify your own benefits — rather than making promises we cannot keep. We do not fabricate statistics, prices, facility names, or success rates.

Our Sources

Where we describe coverage rules and treatment, we rely on authoritative public sources, including:

• SAMHSA — the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
• FindTreatment.gov — SAMHSA’s national treatment locator
• Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (U.S. Department of Labor / HHS)
• Medicaid.gov and Medicare.gov
• 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline

For plan-specific coverage, the definitive source is always your own insurer and plan documents.

Accuracy and Updates

Insurance rules and treatment options change, so content may be updated over time. Because coverage varies by plan, employer, and state, we describe general patterns and consistently direct readers to verify their own benefits. Nothing here guarantees coverage, admission, or any outcome.

Not Medical, Legal, or Insurance Advice

Recovery Wellspring is a free informational and referral service, not a treatment provider or insurance company. Our content is for general information only and is not a substitute for professional medical, legal, or insurance advice. Always consult a qualified professional and your insurer about your specific situation.

Corrections

If you spot something inaccurate or out of date, please tell us at contact@recoverywellspring.com and we will review it.
