We believe that trust is earned through honesty, and that includes being upfront about how this site works. This disclosure explains how Unjunkiefied is funded, what you might see on the site in terms of links and advertising, and how we handle content, so you can read everything here with full confidence about where it comes from.
First, the basics. Unjunkiefied is an independent website focused on addiction recovery and sober living. We publish articles, stories, guides, and resources written to support people in recovery and their loved ones. Our content is created to inform, encourage, and share practical ideas. It is not medical advice, and it is not a substitute for professional help. If you are struggling with addiction, we encourage you to speak with a qualified professional about your specific situation.
How is this site funded? Like many independent websites, Unjunkiefied may earn support through a few different channels. These may include advertising displayed on the site, affiliate links, sponsored content, and reader support. We want to explain each of these clearly, so you always know what you are looking at.
Advertising means that third-party ads may appear on some pages of this site. These ads are served by advertising networks, and we do not control the specific ads shown to you. The presence of an ad does not mean we endorse the product, service, or company being advertised. If you see an ad for something that does not feel right for you, you are always free to ignore it. We do our best to work with reputable advertising partners, but we cannot guarantee the claims made in any advertisement.
Affiliate links are links to products or services where we may earn a small commission if you choose to make a purchase through that link, at no extra cost to you. For example, if we recommend a book and link to an online store, and you buy that book through our link, we may receive a small percentage of the sale. This helps support the site and allows us to keep publishing free content. We only include affiliate links where we believe the product or resource is genuinely relevant and potentially useful. An affiliate relationship never affects our honest opinion. If we do not think something is worthwhile, we will not recommend it, regardless of any commission.
Sponsored content is content that a company or organization has paid to have published on the site. When sponsored content appears, it will always be clearly labeled as sponsored or as a paid partnership, so you can tell it apart from our regular editorial content. Sponsored content does not necessarily reflect our personal views, and we do not accept sponsored content that promotes harmful products, makes medical claims, or promises outcomes we cannot stand behind. We reserve the right to decline sponsorships that do not align with our values or the needs of our readers.
Guest posts and reader stories are another part of this site. When someone shares their personal story or writes a guest article, we will identify them as a guest contributor where appropriate. The views expressed in guest posts are those of the author, not necessarily those of Unjunkiefied. We review guest content before publishing, but we cannot independently verify every personal detail in someone’s story, and we present these stories as personal experiences, not as professional advice.
We also want to be clear about what we do not do. We do not sell your personal information. We do not accept payment in exchange for positive reviews or for hiding negative information. We do not publish content that we know to be false or misleading. And we do not let any funding relationship change our core mission, which is to support people in recovery with honest, practical, compassionate content.
Your privacy matters to us as well. This site may use standard tools like analytics to understand which articles readers find helpful, so we can create more of what works. These tools typically collect anonymous information like page views and general location, not your name or personal details. If you contact us, we will keep your message private and will never publish your story or personal details without your explicit permission. You can read more about how we handle information in our privacy policy.
If you ever have a question about something you see on this site — a link, an ad, a sponsored post, or a recommendation — please reach out through our contact page and ask. We would rather answer a direct question than leave you wondering. Transparency is not just a legal requirement for us. It is part of how we build a community that people can trust.
This disclosure may be updated from time to time as the site grows and as our funding methods change. When we make significant changes, we will update this page, and we encourage you to check back occasionally. The version you are reading now reflects our current practices and our commitment to being straightforward with you.
Thank you for reading this, and thank you for being part of the Unjunkiefied community. We are grateful for every reader, every story shared, and every person working toward a better life in recovery. Knowing how this site works should never be a mystery, and we are committed to keeping it that way.
One reason transparency matters so much here is that recovery readers are often making sensitive decisions, and they deserve to know what is information, what is opinion, and what is advertising. When you read an article on this site, you should be able to tell where an idea comes from and whether anyone paid for it to be there. That clarity protects you, and it protects the trust between this site and its readers. If anything ever feels unclear, asking about it is not rude. It is exactly the kind of reading this site wants to encourage.
It is also worth saying what this site does not do. The articles here are written to inform and encourage, not to diagnose, treat, or replace professional help. A guide can offer ideas, stories, and practical steps, but it cannot know your situation, your history, or your health. That boundary matters, and it is why the site points readers toward qualified professionals for personal decisions. Keeping that line clear is part of being honest, not a way of avoiding responsibility.
Finally, transparency is an ongoing practice, not a single page. As the site grows, new kinds of content, partnerships, or ways of funding it may appear, and this disclosure is meant to grow with them. If you notice a new type of link or a new kind of post and wonder how it works, that question is welcome. A community built on honesty stays honest by staying open to questions, and by answering them plainly, even when the answer is simply that something has changed and the page needs updating.
When you are unsure about something you see here, a good habit is to pause and ask what kind of content it is. Is it a personal story, a general guide, a resource list, or an advertisement? Each has a different purpose, and reading them differently helps you take what is useful without giving any one page more weight than it deserves. Stories can inspire, guides can offer ideas, and advertisements are simply offers from other companies. Keeping those categories clear in your mind is a small skill that makes everything on the internet easier to use, and recovery reading is no exception.
