1. Acceptance of terms

By accessing or using RehabNest's website and tools, you agree to these terms of use. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, please do not use this website.

2. Not medical advice or a substitute for treatment

RehabNest provides educational and self-management tools related to addiction recovery. Nothing on this site constitutes medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and nothing here should replace consultation with a qualified healthcare professional, therapist, or addiction medicine specialist. Screening tools provide general information, not a clinical diagnosis. Always seek the advice of a physician or other qualified health provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition, including addiction.

3. Emergencies and crisis situations

RehabNest is not equipped to respond to emergencies and does not monitor tool usage in real time. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, a mental health crisis, or thoughts of suicide or self-harm, call 911 or your local emergency number immediately, or call or text 988 (the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline in the US). Do not rely on this website in any situation requiring urgent intervention.

4. Appropriate use of these tools

These tools are intended for personal, educational use related to understanding and supporting addiction recovery. You agree not to use this site for any unlawful purpose, to attempt to disrupt or compromise the site's functioning, or to misrepresent tool outputs as professional medical or clinical advice when sharing them with others.

5. Intellectual property

The content, design, and code of RehabNest's tools are the property of RehabNest unless otherwise noted. You may use these tools for personal purposes. Reproduction, redistribution, or commercial use of this site's content without permission is not permitted.

This site links to external organisations, hotlines, and resources for your convenience. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or practices of any third-party site. Inclusion of a link does not imply endorsement.

7. Advertising

RehabNest is a free resource supported in part by advertising, including ads served through Google AdSense and other third-party advertising networks. Advertisements appearing on this site are served by these third-party providers and are not independently vetted by RehabNest for accuracy or endorsement. The presence of an advertisement on this site does not constitute a recommendation or endorsement of the advertised product or service by RehabNest. See our Privacy Policy for details on how advertising cookies are used.

8. Disclaimer of warranties

This site and its tools are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to accuracy, completeness, or fitness for a particular purpose. We make reasonable efforts to keep information current and accurate, but addiction medicine and treatment resources change over time, and we cannot guarantee that every detail remains up to date at all times.

9. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, RehabNest and its operators are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, this website or its tools, including any decisions made based on information found here. This site does not replace professional judgment, and any decisions about treatment, medication, or emergency care should be made in consultation with qualified professionals.

In plain terms: use these tools as a helpful starting point and ongoing support for your recovery, not as a replacement for professional care, and always seek emergency help directly rather than through this site if you're in a crisis.

10. Changes to these terms

We may revise these terms from time to time. The "last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent version. Continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms.

11. Governing law

These terms are governed by applicable law in the jurisdiction in which RehabNest operates, without regard to conflict of law principles.
