Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: March 2026
At TheTreatmentCommunity.com, we believe in being straightforward about how we make money. This page explains our use of affiliate links, how compensation works, and how we protect the integrity of our editorial content.
How This Site Is Funded
TheTreatmentCommunity.com is a free resource. We do not charge visitors to access our articles, guides, tools, or treatment comparisons. To support the cost of creating and maintaining physician-reviewed content, developing interactive tools, and operating this website, we participate in affiliate marketing programs.
This means that some of the links on our site are affiliate links. When you click on an affiliate link and take a qualifying action — such as signing up for a service, purchasing a product, or contacting a treatment provider — we may receive a referral fee or commission from the company you visited. This comes at no additional cost to you. You will never pay more for a product or service because you reached it through one of our links.
How We Identify Affiliate Links
We are committed to clear disclosure in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) endorsement guidelines. You will find affiliate disclosures in the following places:
- At the top of articles that contain affiliate links: Articles with affiliate links include a disclosure statement near the beginning of the content, typically worded: “This article contains affiliate links. If you make a purchase or sign up through these links, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.”
- On this page: This disclosure page serves as our comprehensive, site-wide explanation of our affiliate relationships.
- Within our treatment directory: Directory listings that include enhanced or paid placements are clearly labeled to distinguish them from standard listings.
Compensation Does Not Influence Our Recommendations
Our editorial content — including treatment program reviews, comparison articles, and rankings — is produced independently by our editorial team and reviewed by board-certified physicians. Compensation from affiliate partnerships does not influence:
- Which treatment programs we recommend or rank highest
- How we evaluate or compare products and services
- The medical information, clinical guidance, or health content we publish
- The results generated by our interactive tools and assessments
Our editorial policy requires a strict separation between commercial partnerships and editorial decisions. You can read the full details on our Editorial Policy & Medical Review Process page.
Types of Affiliate Relationships
We may earn compensation through the following types of partnerships:
- Treatment program referrals: We may receive a referral fee when a visitor contacts or enrolls in a treatment program through a link on our site.
- Telehealth and digital health services: We may earn commissions when visitors sign up for online therapy, medication-assisted treatment platforms, or recovery apps through our links.
- Health and wellness products: We may earn commissions on products such as supplements, non-alcoholic beverages, books, and wellness tools recommended in our lifestyle content.
- Directory enhanced listings: Treatment providers may pay for enhanced visibility in our directory. These paid listings are clearly labeled and do not affect editorial rankings or reviews.
Our Commitment to You
We include affiliate links only for products, services, and programs that we believe offer genuine value to our readers. We do not promote a product or service solely because it offers a higher commission. If we would not recommend something without an affiliate relationship, we do not recommend it with one.
If you ever feel that a recommendation on this site appears biased or commercially motivated, we encourage you to let us know at editorial@thetreatmentcommunity.com. Reader trust is the foundation of everything we do, and we take concerns about editorial integrity seriously.
