Addiction Recovery Information: PAW Triggers

There are many details related to PAW, or post-acute withdrawal that you will be learning more about as you progress through this particular addiction recovery session while you participate in the group discussions, as well as the written and verbal exercises presented in the eight-week outpatient addiction treatment program provided at The Right Step.

Some of the information that will be presented to you by supportive, experienced addiction recovery professionals will include details on the “Triggering Times” for PAW.

You will find that recent research is showing that for some recovering people, the symptoms of PAW often occur at regular "moon cycle" intervals and without apparent outside stressors. Often those 30, 60, 90, 120, 180, and one and two year sobriety dates seem to be "triggering" times for PAW symptoms to increase.

Outpatient Addiction Treatment: Patterns of PAW Symptoms

Additional information provided during this outpatient addiction treatment program will include learning that people recovering from long term opiate and stimulant use often have PAW symptoms for no apparent reason for up to 10 years after they have stopped using their drug of choice.

Often PAW symptoms appear to come and go without apparent reason and without any specific pattern. Individuals who intend to have consistent, long-term recovery from their dependence on drugs or dependence on alcohol must learn to recognize these symptoms of PAW and learn how to manage them.

For this reason, help with dealing with the symptoms of PAW or post-acute withdrawal, will be provided to participants of the outpatient addiction treatment program at The Right Step in order to aid them in continuously achieving positive change in a healthy state of sobriety.
