RECO Intensive publishes clinical, sourced content on addiction treatment, mental health, and recovery. This page describes how we build that content, who signs off on it, and how we handle errors — so you can judge for yourself whether to trust what you read here.
Who reviews our content
Every clinical article on RECO Intensive is reviewed by a licensed medical clinician before publication. Reviewers include board-certified psychiatrists Dr. Anthony Campo (MD) and Dr. Charles Norris (MD); Medical Director Dr. Alexander Scheuermann (DO); Dr. Anton Bonci (MD), who leads our neurostimulation program; psychiatric nurse practitioners Todd Ludwig (PMHNP-BC), Jacqueline Simon (APRN, PMHNP-BC), and Frances Murphy (APRN); and psychiatric physician assistant Kathleen Simervil (MSPA, PA-C, CAQ-Psych).
Author bylines credit the licensed clinician who drafted the article — often David Levin (LCSW, CAP, CMHP) or Allison Steiner (LCSW) for psychosocial and therapy topics. The medical reviewer is always a different, prescribing clinician; that second name is not for show. It means someone with prescribing authority checked the article against current guidelines before it went live.
Sourcing standards
We work from primary sources. Substance use statistics come from federal surveys — SAMHSA NSDUH, NIDA, CDC/NCHS. Diagnostic language follows the DSM-5-TR. Treatment protocols reference the ASAM Criteria for level of care, and medication-assisted treatment content is checked against FDA labels for buprenorphine, naltrexone, and methadone. When we cite a study, we link to it. When we describe an outcome, we describe the study population it came from.
All patient-facing recovery content is drafted or reviewed by a licensed clinician — not by a marketing writer, not by an AI without a clinician in the loop.
How we correct errors
To report an error, email editorial@recointensive.com. We respond within three business days. If a correction is warranted, we publish it in place, add a dated correction line at the foot of the article, and — if the change touches medication information or clinical recommendations — route it back through a medical reviewer before it goes live.
Not medical advice
The articles here are for general education and are not a substitute for a clinical assessment. Nothing on this site diagnoses a condition, prescribes a medication, or replaces the guidance of your own physician or licensed therapist. If you are in a mental health or overdose emergency, call 911. If you or a loved one are in a substance-use crisis, call or text 988, or reach the SAMHSA National Helpline at 1-800-662-HELP. RECO Intensive's admissions line runs 24/7 — the phone number is in the site footer, and every call is answered by a human trained to listen first.
