MyRehab Helper Editorial Process

At MyRehabHelper.co.za, we follow a strict Editorial Policy to ensure all content is accurate, compassionate, and genuinely helpful to individuals seeking recovery support. This policy guides our editorial decisions, research practices, and the way we present information about addiction and recovery.

We are committed to editorial independence, expert input, and consistent quality across every piece we produce—whether it is an informational article, recovery guide, treatment center overview, or personal story.

Expert-Reviewed and Evidence-Based Editorial Policy

All clinical content is thoroughly researched and reviewed by qualified mental health professionals, addiction counselors, or recovery experts. We prioritize peer-reviewed research, South African treatment guidelines, and reputable medical sources such as SAMHSA, WHO, and HPCSA. Additionally, we fact-check all articles and update them regularly to reflect new developments in treatment, therapy, and best practices.

Compassionate and Inclusive Language

We understand that language can either support healing or reinforce stigma. Therefore, we:

  • Use non-stigmatizing terms, for example, “person with substance use disorder” instead of “addict.”

  • Remain mindful of diversity in culture, background, and recovery journeys.

  • Highlight the lived experiences of individuals in recovery, always with their consent.

Content Creation Process

Each article follows a structured editorial workflow to maintain quality and reliability:

  1. Topic Selection: We identify topics based on real search queries, community needs, and trending health questions.

  2. Research and Outline: We compile clinical literature and reputable data sources to build a comprehensive outline.

  3. Drafting: Writers or AI-assisted tools, supervised by humans, create the initial draft.

  4. Review and Editing: Editors check for accuracy, tone, readability, and proper formatting.

  5. Final Approval: Only content that meets our publishing standards is approved for publication.

AI-Assisted Content Transparency

We may use AI tools, such as ChatGPT, to assist with initial drafts, outlines, or idea generation. However, all AI-generated content undergoes human review, editing, and approval before publication. Our human editors ensure that every piece reflects our professional standards and organizational voice.

Updates and Maintenance

We review all content on a scheduled basis, typically every six to twelve months. Pages with time-sensitive information—such as pricing, availability, or legislation—receive quarterly updates. Furthermore, we prioritize updates if significant changes occur in treatment guidelines.

Editorial Independence

We maintain full editorial independence. Our decisions are never influenced by advertisers, partners, or treatment centers. Any sponsored content or affiliate relationships are clearly disclosed, as outlined in our Disclaimer.
