Our Editorial Standards
619 Recovery is committed to providing accurate, helpful, and evidence-based information about addiction recovery, sober living, and mental health. Because our content addresses health-related topics that affect real lives and real decisions, we hold ourselves to the highest editorial standards.
Every piece of content published on 619recovery.com is created with the goal of helping individuals in recovery, their families, and referring professionals make informed decisions about sober living and recovery support.
Content Creation Process
Our content is developed through a structured process designed to ensure accuracy and usefulness:
- Research: All claims about addiction, recovery, mental health, and treatment are supported by published research from peer-reviewed journals, government health agencies such as SAMHSA and NIDA, or established clinical guidelines.
- Writing: Content is written by individuals with direct knowledge of addiction recovery, sober living operations, and the San Diego recovery community.
- Review: All health-related content is reviewed for clinical accuracy before publication. We consult with licensed professionals — including Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselors (CADC) and Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSW) — to verify that our content reflects current best practices.
- Updates: Published content is reviewed periodically and updated when new research, guidelines, or local resources become available. Each updated article includes the date of the most recent revision.
Sources and Citations
When we reference statistics, research findings, or clinical information, we link directly to the original source whenever possible. Our primary sources include:
- Peer-reviewed journals indexed in PubMed
- 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 National Alliance for Recovery Residences (evidence-based)
