I’m expanding a resource hub aimed at people who are currently battling drug or alcohol misuse, and I need a set of plain-spoken, evidence-based articles that explain what prolonged substance use really does to the body and mind. The tone has to balance honesty with hope: clear enough to convey the medical facts, but gentle enough not to shame or overwhelm a reader who may already feel defeated. Scope • Produce informative articles (approx. 900–1,200 words each) focused on the physical, cognitive, and emotional effects of addiction. • Use recent, reputable sources—peer-reviewed studies, CDC, NIH—for statistics or scientific claims, and cite them in-text. • Open each piece with a relatable scenario, weave in practical takeaways, and close with brief recovery-oriented encouragement and links to professional help lines (I’ll supply the numbers). • Keywords such as “long-term alcohol effects,” “opioid impact on the brain,” and “substance abuse and mental health” should appear naturally; no keyword stuffing. Deliverables 1. Three finished articles in Google Docs or Word format, each with a compelling title and meta description. 2. A short reference list for every article (APA or MLA is fine). 3. One round of revisions after initial feedback. Acceptance criteria: content passes Grammarly and Copyscape, reads smoothly at a 9th-grade level, and provides accurate, up-to-date medical information without sensationalism. If you have lived experience or previous writing samples in addiction health, let me know when you submit—those perspectives are invaluable for this project.
