Editorial policy
How we write and review what we publish.
Families read our pages at hard moments. This is how G3 Recovery decides what goes on them, who checks it, and what we do when something needs to change.
The short version
Written by our team. Reviewed by a licensed clinician.
Who writes
Articles and guides are written by G3 Recovery Interventions and Consulting. When a page quotes Matt Gibson, CAI, or Hannah Gibson, Co-Founder and Case Manager, those are their own words, shown with their name and role.
Who reviews
Clinical content is reviewed by Meredith Meurer, LPC-S, LCDC, PSS, a Texas Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor who advises G3 independently. One named reviewer appears on each reviewed page.
What we cite
Statistics come from primary sources: federal and state health agencies, university research teams, peer-reviewed journals, and the newsrooms that report their findings. Each article lists its sources at the end.
What “Clinically reviewed by” means
When a page names a clinical reviewer, that reviewer is responsible for checking it for clinical accuracy: how substance use and mental health conditions are described, what withdrawal and overdose risk look like, when a situation needs emergency care, and whether the guidance is safe for a family to act on. Every new article goes to her when it is published, and the date beside her name is the review date on record.
She does not review our pricing, our scheduling, or the specific treatment programs we recommend to a family, and she does not deliver G3’s intervention or family services. Her role is advisory. If she asks for changes, we make them and update the page date.
How an article is built
- We start from a real question families ask us, or a recent public report that affects them, such as a state overdose report or a new law.
- We open and read every source we cite, and link the statistic in the text to the source it came from.
- We write for a worried family member, not for search engines: plain language, a direct answer near the top, and clear next steps.
- Our clinical reviewer checks the clinical content. Team members check any statement attributed to them.
- We publish with the author, reviewer, review date and last updated date visible on the page.
Our standards
- No promised outcomes. No one can guarantee that a person will accept treatment or stay sober. We do not suggest otherwise.
- No invented people. Every person named or quoted on this site is a real member of our team or a real, credited source. We do not publish composite patients or fictional testimonials.
- No referral fees. G3 accepts no payment from treatment programs, so no program can buy a mention in our content.
- Emergencies first. Pages that touch medical danger say so plainly: call 911 for a medical emergency, and call or text 988 for a mental health or substance use crisis.
- Education, not medical advice. Our content helps families understand options. It does not replace care from a physician or licensed clinician who knows the person.
Dates and updates
Each article shows when it was published or reviewed and when it was last updated. We revisit articles when the underlying data changes, when a law or guideline changes, or when a reader points out a problem. A new review date means the reviewer read the article again.
Corrections
If you see something inaccurate or out of date, email info@professionalinterventions.com or call (214) 927-2154 during business hours. We check every report, correct errors promptly, and note significant corrections on the page.
