About the PAWS.ML Medical Research Team
PAWS.ML is a dedicated medical research and technology initiative focused on understanding, documenting, and providing evidence-based coping strategies for Post-Acute Withdrawal Syndrome (PAWS).
Our Clinical Foundation
Our editorial and research guidelines are strictly anchored in established addiction medicine and psychiatric frameworks, primarily drawing from:
- American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) guidelines and definitions.
- Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) protocols for protracted withdrawal.
- The Maudsley Deprescribing Guidelines for iatrogenic (medication-induced) withdrawal phenomena.
Commitment to E-E-A-T and YMYL
Because post-acute withdrawal touches on critical health and medical topics (Your Money or Your Life), the PAWS.ML Medical Research Team ensures that all published content undergoes rigorous fact-checking. We aggregate peer-reviewed studies, neurobiological research, and clinical consensus to provide safe, accurate, and non-sensationalized information to individuals navigating protracted recovery.
While our content is scientifically grounded, it is provided for educational and research purposes. We always recommend consulting with a qualified healthcare professional, addiction specialist, or psychiatrist for personalized medical advice.
