About the Editorial Team
Behind every article is a question someone needed answered
People come to our website with all kinds of questions. Some want to know what happens during addiction treatment. Others are trying to understand their options before bringing up a difficult conversation with someone they love. And some simply aren’t sure where to begin.
Our admissions and operations staff hear these concerns every day. They work alongside our writers to create articles that address the questions people actually ask, using language that makes sense even if you’re completely new to addiction treatment.
When you see South Jersey Recovery Program Editorial Team listed as an author, it means the article was created by our staff rather than one individual clinician. Our writers focus on making the information understandable and useful, while our Clinical Director is responsible for reviewing its medical accuracy.
How we make sure you can trust what you read
We know that information about addiction, withdrawal, medication, and mental health can influence serious decisions. That’s why every article covering these topics is medically reviewed before publication.
Our Clinical Director, Donna Saunders, LCSW, LCADC, CCS, checks the clinical information for accuracy. You’ll find her name, credentials, and review date at the top of each reviewed article, so you know who has checked the guidance you’re reading. Practical articles about daily life in the program, costs, or recovery at home are co-written with a named member of our team, whose name and credentials appear in the byline.
We also refer to established medical and public health sources, including the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), and SAMHSA. When we share observations from our team’s experience, we distinguish them from published research.
As treatment guidance changes or our programs are updated, we revisit our articles to keep the information current.
Above all, we want you to leave with a clearer understanding of your options, whether you’re ready to reach out for help or just looking for answers today. You can read more about how we create, review, and update our content in our editorial policy.
