Each page is built from public, primary sources — country statutes for legality, operator-published safety protocols for featured centers, and the medical literature on each substance. We do not operate, recommend, or take commissions from any retreat center. Featured operators are named because their screening and safety documentation is public and verifiable, not because they paid for placement.
