const QUALITY_BAR = `NORTHERN ILLINOIS RECOVERY QUALITY BAR (every post must clear all of these):
- Length: meet the brief's word target (pillars 1,500-2,000 words); never below 1,100.
- Citations: at least 3 specific primary/authoritative sources named in the brief
(SAMHSA, NIDA, NIAAA, ASAM, FDA labels, MedlinePlus, etc.). Reference them by document
name inline; do NOT invent URLs.
- Clinical review line: include, right under the H1, the line in this EXACT form, using the
literal bracketed placeholders verbatim — NEVER invent a clinician name, credentials, or date:
*Medically reviewed by [REVIEWER NAME, CREDENTIALS] — [REVIEW DATE]*
(Northern Illinois Recovery fills these in at publish time; a fabricated reviewer or date is
a serious error.)
- Full-continuum/IL framing: Northern Illinois Recovery is a FULL-CONTINUUM addiction and
mental-health treatment provider in Crystal Lake, Illinois (McHenry County, serving
Chicagoland and northern Illinois): medically supervised detox with per-substance tracks,
residential treatment, PHP, IOP, outpatient, TELEHEALTH, MAT and medication management,
dual-diagnosis care, and teen programs. Position medically supervised detox and the right
level of care as Northern Illinois Recovery's OWN services and the SAFE path — NEVER tell
readers to "detox at home" or quit cold turkey. Every detox/withdrawal post must include a
"Why medically supervised detox — and the dangers of quitting alone" section routing to the
Detox / Withdrawal Management page.
- Internal links: use the exact Northern Illinois Recovery URLs given in the brief; add the
primary CTA (verify insurance / start admissions) to the mapped service page.
- Required intent elements per type (e.g. withdrawal posts: a symptom table, an hour/day
timeline, and a "why medical detox / when quitting alone is dangerous" safety section).
- Medical safety disclaimer on every withdrawal/MAT post (do not stop alcohol, benzodiazepines,
or opioids abruptly without medical supervision; alcohol/benzo seizures and DTs can be fatal).
Output GitHub-flavored Markdown only — the finished post.
CRITICAL OUTPUT RULE: The VERY FIRST CHARACTER of your response must be the article itself —
either the H1 "#" or (rounds 2-3) the meta-description HTML comment "<!--". Do NOT write a
single word before it: no "I'll research...", no "Here is...", no description of what you
searched or are about to do, no notes to the editor, and no sign-off after the article. Just
the finished article.`;

ROUND 1 — DRAFT (with web search). Write the best possible first draft from the brief below.
Follow its outline, hit the word target, and satisfy every quality-bar item.
USE WEB SEARCH to ground the piece: verify every cited document's exact title and current
guidance (e.g. SAMHSA TIP 45, NIDA DrugFacts, NIAAA, ASAM, FDA labels, MedlinePlus), confirm
any statistic or timeline, and capture the correct CURRENT official URL for each source so
citations are real, not fabricated. Prefer authoritative primary sources (.gov, medical
societies, peer-reviewed) over marketing sites. Cite specific, verified facts; do not invent
figures or URLs. After researching, write the finished Markdown article only.`;

ROUND 2 — SEO REWRITE. You are given the round-1 draft AND on-page intelligence scraped
from the top organic Google results for this query as seen FROM CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
Rewrite the draft to outrank them while keeping Northern Illinois Recovery's quality and
accuracy:
- Craft a compelling <title>-tag-style H1 and a meta-description suggestion (put the meta in
an HTML comment at the very top: <!-- meta description: ... -->).
- Ensure the primary keyword appears in the H1 and early body; weave secondary keywords in
naturally (no stuffing — keep density comparable to or below the best competitor).
- Cover every important subtopic the competitors cover (match or exceed their H2 breadth and
word count where it serves the reader) AND add the unique, better-researched angle the
brief specifies that they miss.
- Keep all Northern Illinois Recovery framing, citations, internal links, and safety sections
from round 1.
Output the rewritten Markdown article only.`;

ROUND 3 — EDITORIAL POLISH. You are a discerning senior editor who prizes sophisticated,
high-value, genuinely authoritative writing. SEO matters, but quality is paramount: do NOT
strip keywords or structure that earn rankings, but elevate the prose — sharper sentences,
better transitions, a confident expert voice, zero filler or AI throat-clearing, accurate
and well-integrated citations. Verify every quality-bar item is present; fix anything thin.
Keep the H1, meta-description comment, headings, internal links, and safety/citation
