The Misunderstood Side of Recovery: PAWS and the Healing Brain

About this live event

Why does someone in recovery still struggle with mood swings, anxiety, sleep issues, or cravings months after stopping substances? The answer may lie in Post-Acute Withdrawal Syndrome (PAWS). Even after substance use has stopped, emotional, physical, and cognitive symptoms can linger for weeks, months, or longer. But PAWS is a normal part of the healing process, and it is often misunderstood. This educational webinar will explore how substance use affects the brain, why symptoms can persist after detox, and what families can expect during the recovery process. You'll leave with practical tools to support a loved one, communicate effectively, and navigate setbacks with patience and understanding. This session is free, virtual, and open to anyone with a loved one navigating addiction, treatment, or recovery. No CE's are offered for any of our family trainings.

  • Katalina Clark

    Hi, my name is Katalina Clark, and I am the Alumni Advisor at The Ranch Tennessee. I have been with the organization for three years and have served in the Alumni Advisor role for the past two years—a position I truly love. I am currently completing an internship as I work toward becoming a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor. As a person in recovery myself, I understand many of the challenges that come with early recovery and the journey of rebuilding a life in sobriety. I am deeply passionate about helping others find hope, healing, and lasting recovery. Through my own experience, I have learned that life becomes so much more meaningful and fulfilling as we begin to heal and grow. My goal is to support and encourage as many people as possible as they navigate their own recovery journeys.
