ARC, West Los Angeles  California 

ARC is one of the few drug rehab programs in the country that provides medical services for Post-Acute Withdrawal Symptoms (PAWS).

Without this treatment capability, many clients and their families have to “wait it out” in the hopes that client symptoms will be “muscled through”. Eventually the amazing self-correcting ability of the human body will sort out early recovery physiology but unfortunately for most clients undergoing treatment with conventional drug rehabs they experience the discomfort of post-acute symptoms with only varying degrees of lasting success.

ARC is committed to treating PAWS with more than baited breathe. We have observed that the most effective methodologies to treating post-acute withdrawal symptoms are to provide medical and clinical support. Our clinical team works closely with our physicians and creates personalized treatment plans for each client. This plan includes evaluating what medical steps can be taken to alleviate the psychological manifestations of post-acute withdrawal. We provide ongoing medical support that addresses the physiology associated with the imbalance of early recovery emotional fluctuations.

Post-Acute Withdrawal is exemplified by symptoms such as:

  • Anxiety
  • Fatigue  
  • Cravings
  • Depression
  • Sleeplessness
  • Stress sensitivity
  • Memory problems
  • Inability to think clearly
  • Coordination problems

Post-acute withdrawal symptoms vary based on a person’s substance of choice, length of abuse and method of consumption. If untreated, post-acute withdrawal symptoms are often the intricate pre-cursor to client relapse. This is because as subtle as these symptoms are; they can work together globally to make living clean and sober unbearable.

Our treatment focus is on providing a full spectrum of care that takes into account all the individual challenges medically, psychologically and circumstantially that can inhibit the personal process of recovery. Our purpose is to make ongoing post-acute withdrawal, however subtle, as comfortable as possible for all our clients.
