About this resource

Editorial Policy

Our approach to sources, educational health information, provider descriptions and corrections.

Performer Recovery provides educational information about mental health, addiction recovery and the practical circumstances of creative work. The content is intended to support informed conversations, not replace individual clinical assessment or professional advice.

Sources and evidence

Articles link to relevant public-health guidance, professional organisations, research and industry resources. Source lists help readers explore the basis and limits of a topic. Provider-published descriptions are identified as information from the provider, not independent proof of treatment outcomes.

Research findings should be understood in the context of the population studied, the methods used and the limitations reported. Evidence about one profession or treatment setting should not automatically be applied to every performer or every reader.

Clinical information and personal decisions

General information cannot establish a diagnosis, determine the safest level of care or replace a discussion of a person’s health history. Readers should speak with a suitably qualified healthcare professional about symptoms, medication, withdrawal concerns and treatment decisions.

A source citation, publication date or editorial-policy page is not itself a clinical endorsement. The website does not promise treatment outcomes or imply that a provider is suitable for every reader.

Authorship and examples

Content preparation uses AI-assisted drafting. No fictional clinician biographies, invented credentials, celebrity treatment histories or fabricated patient testimonials are used to support the articles.

Practical scenarios illustrate questions and decisions. They should not be read as diagnostic assessments or verified accounts of identifiable people. We do not infer a public figure’s diagnosis or private treatment history from media coverage.

Changes and corrections

Health guidance, external links, service availability and provider details can change. Readers should consult the linked primary source and confirm time-sensitive arrangements directly before relying on them. A page date describes the publication or update of the article; it is not a guarantee that every external service remains unchanged.

Limits and urgent help

We do not guarantee admission, funding, clinical outcomes, absolute confidentiality or a particular search ranking. This website is not monitored as an emergency service. For immediate danger, contact local emergency services; the urgent-help page provides further starting points.
