Blackburn Recovery Services publishes articles and guides about sober living, recovery and family support. Because these topics affect people’s health and lives, we hold our content to clear standards. This page explains how we write, review and update what we publish.
Who we are
Blackburn Recovery Services provides sober living and recovery support services in West Los Angeles. Our homes are recovery residences, not licensed treatment facilities. Our sister practice, Blackburn Clinical Services, provides licensed therapy and psychiatry. Learn more about our team and how to reach us.
How our content is created
- Topics come from the real questions residents, families and referral partners ask our team.
- Writers research each topic using reputable public health and recovery sources.
- We may use AI tools to help research, outline or edit. Every article is reviewed, edited and approved by our team before it is published.
- Articles are written in plain, respectful, person-first language.
Sources we rely on
We prioritize primary and authoritative sources, including the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Los Angeles County Public Health and peer-reviewed research. When we cite a statistic, we link to where it comes from.
Keeping content current
We review our most important pages and articles regularly and update them when guidance, laws or our own programs change. Each article shows the date it was last updated.
Corrections
If you see something that is inaccurate or out of date, please email info@blackburnrecoveryservices.com. We review every report and correct errors promptly.
Independence and transparency
Our articles are written to inform, not to sell. When we describe Blackburn services, we say so plainly. We do not accept payment for referrals, and we do not publish paid placements or sponsored content.
