Fact-Checking Policy

At Overcome Opioids, our mission is to provide accurate, timely, and trustworthy information on opioid addiction, treatment options, recovery resources, and public health initiatives. We understand that the information we share can directly influence decisions about health, safety, and recovery—so accuracy is our top priority.


1. Our Commitment to Accuracy

We are committed to upholding the highest standards of accuracy in all our content. Addiction and recovery are deeply personal topics, and we know that misinformation can cause real harm. That’s why we ensure that all statistics, medical information, program details, and resource links are correct at the time of publication.


2. How We Fact-Check

Our editorial team follows a multi-step verification process before publishing any content:

  • Review of authoritative sources – We rely on trusted, reputable organizations such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Institutes of Health (NIH), World Health Organization (WHO), and other recognized medical or public health bodies.

  • Cross-verification – Key facts are confirmed through multiple credible and independent sources to reduce the risk of errors.

  • Clear timestamps – We note the publication and update dates on all articles to help readers understand the currency of the information.

  • Internal review – Every article is reviewed by our editorial team to ensure clarity, accuracy, and consistency before publication.


3. Corrections Policy

While we strive for perfection, we recognize that errors can happen. If they do:

  • We correct the information promptly once identified.

  • We clearly note significant updates or changes made to the original content.

  • We invite readers to help us improve accuracy by emailing contact@overcomeopioids.org if they spot any errors.


4. Content Updates

Opioid-related research, treatment guidelines, and public policies can change rapidly. Our team actively monitors updates from trusted medical and governmental sources and revises articles as needed. Updates may include:

  • New treatment methods or medications

  • Revised public health guidelines

  • Changes in laws, funding, or community resources


5. Reader Trust Is Our Priority

Fact-checking is not an afterthought at Overcome Opioids—it’s built into every stage of our content creation process. We believe that our readers deserve information that is both compassionate and correct, empowering them to make informed decisions about prevention, treatment, and recovery.
