Write for Us
DrugsRehabsCenters.com welcomes knowledgeable, compassionate contributors who want to help people understand addiction and recovery. If you are a clinician, counselor, researcher, or someone with lived experience of recovery, your voice could help a reader feel less alone and better informed. We invite you to share your expertise with our community.
Who We’re Looking For
We publish content grounded in expertise and empathy. We are especially eager to hear from:
- Clinicians and medical professionals who can explain treatment, medications, and health considerations accurately.
- Counselors, therapists, and social workers who understand the emotional and practical realities of recovery.
- Researchers and educators who can translate evidence into clear, useful guidance.
- People in recovery whose lived experience can offer hope, honesty, and perspective.
You can get a feel for our voice by reading our blog and our rehab experiences, and by learning more about who we are.
Our Editorial Standards
As an informational directory covering health topics, we hold contributions to high standards of accuracy, clarity, and care. Every submission should reflect the principles in our Editorial Policy. In short, we publish content that is honest, well-sourced, free of stigma, and respectful of the reader. We do not publish medical advice for individual cases; instead, we help readers understand their options and encourage them to consult qualified professionals.
Contributor Guidelines and Submission Requirements
To keep our quality high and our readers protected, we ask contributors to follow these requirements.
- Originality. All work must be original, unpublished, and written by you. We do not accept plagiarized, AI-spun, or previously published content.
- Sourcing. Claims about health, treatment, or statistics must be supported by reputable, verifiable sources, cited clearly. Do not fabricate data, credentials, or outcomes.
- Word count. Most articles run between roughly 800 and 1,800 words, long enough to be genuinely useful without padding.
- Tone. Warm, compassionate, professional, and free of judgment. Write for a reader who may be scared or struggling.
- Medical accuracy. Present information responsibly, avoid giving individualized medical advice, and consistently encourage readers to consult qualified professionals.
- Formatting. Use clear headings, short paragraphs, and plain language. Include suggested sources and a short author bio.
Topics We Accept
We are interested in content that helps people learn about recovery and navigate their options, including:
- Understanding addiction, substance use, and related drug information.
- How different rehabilitation services and treatment approaches work.
- What to expect from rehab, detox, and aftercare.
- Supporting a loved one through recovery.
- Mental health and co-occurring conditions.
- Personal recovery stories and hard-won lessons, shared responsibly.
What We Don’t Accept
- Content that gives individualized medical advice or promises specific outcomes.
- Plagiarized, previously published, or low-effort AI-generated material.
- Promotional or thinly veiled advertising for a specific facility, product, or service.
- Stigmatizing, judgmental, or sensationalized language.
- Unsourced statistics, fabricated credentials, or misleading claims.
- Content that could endanger readers, including instructions for harmful behavior.
How to Submit
Ready to contribute? Please send us your pitch or draft, along with a short note about your background and relevant expertise. You can reach us through our Contact Us page (select “General inquiry” or “Feedback”), or email your submission to [ADD SUBMISSIONS EMAIL]. If you are pitching an idea rather than a finished piece, a few sentences describing your angle and sources is a great start.
Our Review Process
After you submit, our editorial team reviews your work for originality, accuracy, tone, and fit with our standards. Health-related content may also go through additional review for factual accuracy and responsible framing. We may suggest edits or ask for clarification or sourcing before publication. Because we receive many submissions, review can take some time, and not every piece will be accepted. When a piece is published, we credit contributors with a byline and short bio in keeping with our Editorial Policy.
If you or someone you’re writing about is in crisis, please seek help first. In an emergency call 911. For free, confidential, 24/7 support, call or text the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, or call the SAMHSA National Helpline at 1-800-662-4357 (1-800-662-HELP).
