1. Not Medical Advice

The content on inpatientrehabplacement.com — including all articles, facility listings, treatment descriptions, statistics, and advisory services — is provided for informational and educational purposes only. It does not constitute medical advice, clinical recommendations, diagnoses, or prescribed treatment plans.

No content on this Site should be used as a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment from a qualified physician, addiction medicine specialist, licensed counselor, or other licensed healthcare provider.

2. No Doctor-Patient Relationship

Using this Site — including submitting a contact form, calling our advisory line, or reading any content — does not establish a doctor-patient, therapist-client, or any other healthcare provider relationship between you and InpatientRehabPlacement.com.

Our phone advisors are not licensed clinicians. They are referral specialists who help you navigate your treatment options. Any information they provide is informational only and does not constitute clinical advice.

3. Always Seek Professional Help

Addiction and substance use disorders are serious medical conditions. We strongly urge you to:

• Consult a physician, psychiatrist, or addiction medicine specialist before starting or stopping any substance use treatment program
• Never abruptly stop using alcohol, benzodiazepines, or opioids without medical supervision — withdrawal from these substances can be life-threatening
• Disclose all medications and health conditions to any treatment provider
• Follow the clinical guidance of your care team over any information found on this or any other website

4. Emergency Resources

If you or someone you know is in immediate danger or experiencing a medical emergency:

• Medical Emergency / Overdose: Call 911 immediately. Naloxone (Narcan) can reverse opioid overdose — many pharmacies carry it without a prescription.
• Suicide / Mental Health Crisis: Call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, available 24/7).
• SAMHSA National Helpline: 1-800-662-4357 — free, confidential, 24/7 treatment referral and information service.
• Crisis Text Line: Text HOME to 741741 for crisis support.

These resources are free, confidential, and available around the clock.

5. Facility Information Accuracy

Treatment facility listings on this Site are compiled from federal databases including SAMHSA FindTreatment.gov, supplemented by state licensing records. While we work to keep information current:

• Facility availability, bed counts, and accepted insurance change frequently
• Programs may have waitlists or may have closed since our last data update
• Accreditation statuses are updated periodically and may not reflect current standing
• We do not independently verify the clinical quality, outcomes, or staffing of listed facilities

Always call a facility directly to confirm availability, current programs, and insurance acceptance before making treatment decisions.

6. Clinical & Statistical Content

Articles, guides, and treatment descriptions on this Site are written for general educational audiences and reviewed by our medical reviewer, Dr. Sarah Mitchell, MD, FASAM, Board-Certified Addiction Medicine. However:

• Medical knowledge evolves continuously — information may not reflect the latest clinical guidelines
• Statistical data (overdose rates, treatment outcomes) is sourced from public agencies and reflects published data, not real-time figures
• Individual treatment outcomes vary significantly based on patient history, co-occurring conditions, and treatment adherence
• We do not make any representations about the effectiveness of any specific treatment approach for any specific individual
