At MyRehabHelper.co.za, we follow a strict editorial process to ensure the information we publish is accurate, compassionate, and genuinely helpful to people seeking recovery support.
We are committed to editorial independence, expert input, and consistent quality in all content we produce—whether it’s an informational article, recovery guide, treatment center overview, or personal story.
⸻
🧠 1. Expert-Reviewed & Evidence-Based
• All clinical content is 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 (e.g. SAMHSA, WHO, HPCSA).
• Articles are fact-checked and routinely updated to reflect new developments in treatment, therapy, and best practices.
⸻
🤝 2. Compassionate & Inclusive Language
We believe words can either support healing or reinforce stigma. That’s why:
• We use non-stigmatizing language (e.g. “person with substance use disorder” instead of “addict”).
• We are mindful of diversity in culture, background, and recovery journeys.
• We center the lived experiences of individuals in recovery—when shared with consent.

Each article goes through a consistent editorial workflow:
1. Topic selection: Based on real search queries, community needs, and trending health questions.
2. Research & outline: Using clinical literature and reputable data sources.
3. Drafting: Created by qualified writers or AI-assisted tools with human supervision.
4. Review & editing: Reviewed for accuracy, tone, readability, and formatting.
5. Final approval: Must meet our publishing standards before going live.

🧾 4. AI-Assisted Content Transparency
We may use AI tools (e.g. ChatGPT) to assist with initial drafts, outlines, or idea generation. However:
• All AI-generated content is human-reviewed, edited, and approved before publication.
• Final content is curated by a human editor to ensure it reflects our voice and professional standards.
⸻
🔁 5. Updates & Maintenance
• All content is reviewed on a scheduled basis (every 6–12 months).
• If major updates occur in treatment guidelines, the affected content is prioritized.
• Pages that include time-sensitive details (e.g. pricing, availability, legislation) are flagged for quarterly updates.
⸻
⚖ 6. Editorial Independence
• Our editorial decisions are not influenced by advertisers, partners, or treatment centers.
• Sponsored content or affiliate relationships are clearly disclosed (see Disclaimer).
