Editorial standards

Editorial Policy

We publish practical recovery-housing information for people in recovery, families, and home operators. Accuracy, clear sourcing, and plain disclosure are more important than search traffic.

Last updated July 29, 2026

Authorship and review

Editorial guides are published by the Sober Living Central Editorial Team. Articles identify their publication date and link to this policy. Health, legal, insurance, certification, and government claims should be supported by authoritative sources and updated when the underlying guidance changes.

Sources

We prefer government agencies, recognized recovery-residence organizations, peer-reviewed research, and primary provider information. Directory ratings and business details may originate from public third-party business profiles and are labelled separately from our editorial content.

Automation

Automation may help organize public listing data or draft repetitive directory text. Automated text is not evidence that a business is a sober living home, certified, safe, or currently available. We do not use generated text as the source for prices, eligibility, services, certification, or medical facts.

Medical and crisis information

Sober Living Central is a directory and educational publisher, not a healthcare provider. Our content does not replace advice from a qualified clinician. If someone is in immediate danger, call 911. For treatment information in the United States, use the official SAMHSA treatment resources linked from relevant articles.

Corrections

Send corrections to [email protected] with the affected URL and supporting information. Material corrections are reviewed and incorporated as soon as practical. We do not accept payment to suppress legitimate corrections or to alter editorial conclusions.
