Editorial Policies & Guidelines

The Garden Recovery & Wellness’ Editorial Policy

The editorial policy at The Garden Recovery and Wellness is a standard all staff and contributors are committed to upholding. It’s defined by the quality, integrity, accuracy, and transparency of all resources, curriculum, and educational material produced by this organization. This standard supports an internal cause to promote recovery awareness and reduce harm in the recovery community. 

Editorial Policy Standards

  • Quality: All resources must be created with the goal of aiming higher, being better, and serving more deeply through high-quality, well-supported materials that are clearly written and highly relevant.
  • Integrity: With a high code of moral and ethical values, The Garden upholds honest communication and an uncompromising commitment to the truth. 
  • Accuracy: Medical, clinical, psychological, and practical accuracy are non-negotiable standards for all materials, ensuring that only relevant information is shared. This is how The Garden promotes awareness and reduces harm.
  • Transparency: To help as many people as possible, The Garden is committed to being fully transparent about all aspects related to addiction, treatment, recovery, treatment costs, mental health, and sobriety, ensuring each client enters the community with their eyes wide open. 

Editorial Process

To ensure all resources meet these high standards for quality, integrity, accuracy, and transparency, we’ve instituted a repeatable and thorough process for materials produced by the Garden Recovery and Wellness.

  • Qualified Contributors: Contributors are all skilled professionals, providers, and subject matter experts who are either part of our internal team or work closely with it to create the highest-quality resources.
  • Medically Reviewed Content: To ensure the highest standards of accuracy, all resources are reviewed by a physician to support safety and minimize potential harm.
  • High Degree of Scholarship: Resources promote a high degree of scholarship with deeply researched and well-supported materials that clearly communicate the facts, free of subjective opinions.
  • Regular Reviews and Updates: Outdated and irrelevant information is removed after regular review cycles to ensure all materials are up to date and relevant.
