We make our advertising policy public for the benefit of our website users and advertising partners in our commitment to be transparent as possible.
AddictionResource.net’s main phone number and our chat feature are answered by our partnering paid advertisers, noted here as addiction treatment providers. These addiction treatment providers have passed our vetting process to help confirm that they are credible facilities offering addiction recovery services for clients. Vetting requirements may include completing a survey inquiring about staff qualifications, treatment services offered, and accreditations or other industry-recognized quality care indicators, such as CARF or Joint Commission accreditation, LegitScript certification, etc. Vetting may also involve providing proof of licensure and hosting our staff or contractors at the facility to determine whether services are being offered.
We vet partnering addiction treatment providers to provide our users with protection from unlicensed or scam operators, not to determine the relative or overall quality of the provider’s services or to recommend or endorse their services. Although we cannot guarantee this protection, or guarantee that all bad actors such as these will be identified and prevented from becoming partnering addiction treatment providers, we do take steps to limit these occurrences and take immediate action to rectify the situation.
Partners are offered opportunities to advertise on AddictionResource.net through paid ads that are separated clearly from standard informational content. These ads pass additional vetting and review provided by the AddictionResource.net team.
Paid ads must clearly identify the advertiser through trademark or signature. Because an ad appears on our website does not signify our guarantee or endorsement of the advertiser.
User searches on AddictionResource.net are not influenced by our advertisers in any way. Paid ads are a separate revenue stream from our informational content, and advertisers do not influence our informational content or editorial decisions. Advertisers do not know about our informational content before it’s published, and we do not edit our informational content to accommodate paid advertisements.
Some ads may be personalized to the user, based on user information collected on the site or elsewhere over time. Any information provided to users by advertisers is separate from AddictionResource.net’s informational content. You may need to renew your opt-out choice if you visit our site from another browser or erase your cookies from your browser.
Our mission and ethics inform all of our decisions, we do not publish advertisements that may be at odds with them, such as those promoting products or services such as weapons, sexual services, nudity, dating, drugs, medications, gambling, and addiction treatment centers under investigation for, or convicted of, fraud. We reserve the right to refuse any advertisement that does not align with our purpose or goals.
