Northern Illinois Recovery — Tier A Content Backlog
Generated 2026-07-02 from local WP corpus + the 116-domain NAATP quality cohort (no network). Net-new / deepen topics organized around Northern Illinois Recovery's FULL-CONTINUUM owned services (detox with per-substance tracks, residential, PHP/IOP/outpatient, telehealth, MAT, dual diagnosis, teen programs), ranked within each service by NAATP domain spread (how many national leaders publish it = demand validation). Because NIR owns every level of care — including telehealth — NOTHING is excluded from the demand map.
The quality bar (every post must clear this)
Benchmarked to NAATP p75 + NIR's own current standard:
- Length: target ≥ 1,100 words; pillar topics (per-substance detox timelines, levels-of-care explainers) 1,500–2,000.
- Primary-source citations: ≥ 3 authoritative refs (SAMHSA, NIDA, NIAAA, ASAM, peer-reviewed).
- Clinical review: byline + "medically reviewed by [REVIEWER NAME, CREDENTIALS] — [REVIEW DATE]".
- Continuum/IL framing: clinical topics resolve to NIR's medically supervised detox + full continuum (detox → residential → PHP → IOP → outpatient/telehealth) and its Crystal Lake, IL / Chicagoland service area — detox/withdrawal posts must frame medical supervision as the safe path (never "detox at home").
- Internal link: link the mapped NIR service page (below) + 2 related posts.
- Intent match: withdrawal/detox posts include a timeline, symptom table, and a "why medical detox / when it's dangerous to quit alone" safety section.
