Post Acute Withdrawal Syndrome (P.A.W.S.) causes lower intensity withdrawal symptoms that can last for weeks or even months after you detox from opiates. Depending on the drug that you are detoxing from, an acute detox can last from 3-7 days. Some drugs like Suboxone and methadone may have longer acute withdrawal periods. Unfortunately, many continue to suffer from Post Acute Withdrawal Syndrome well beyond their detox. Post Acute Withdrawal Syndrome is not just associated with opiate withdrawal. P.AW.S. can result from long-term use of opiates, alcohol, benzodiazepines (like Xanax, Klonopin) and even antidepressants. Essentially, itâs a continuation of the detox process after long-term substance use.
