The PASO Study

Plasticity of Aversive Salience in Opioid Use Disorder (PASO)

The Plasticity of Aversive Salience in Opioid Use Disorder (PASO) study is a five year project funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA; grant # R01DA050677) to better understand the process of early recovery from opioid addiction (the first three months after entering treatment). People struggling with opioid addiction experience heightened stress, drug craving/urges, aversive bodily sensations, and negative emotions including depression, anxiety, pain, and suicidal thoughts when trying to quit drugs and stay abstinent. We want to understand how clinical symptoms, behavior, brain function, and physiology change during early recovery and predict who has success remaining abstinent the first three months post-treatment. We hope that knowledge from the PASO study will aid in the development of new intervention targets for opioid addiction. We have partnered with 12&12 Inc. and Women In Recovery to recruit individuals in their treatment programs for the PASO study.

About Women in Recovery

Women in Recovery (WIR) is an intensive outpatient alternative for eligible women facing long prison sentences for non-violent drug-related offenses. Operated in partnership with the George Kaiser Family Foundation, WIR works closely with the criminal justice system and various community partners to ensure program participants receive supervision, substance abuse and mental health treatment, education, workforce readiness training and family reunification services. Benefits:
  • Strengthens individuals and families
  • Breaks the cycle of intergenerational incarceration
  • Helps women involved in the criminal justice system become productive, tax-paying citizens
  • Is more cost-effective than incarceration
  • Improves public safety
Addiction, abuse and poverty are factors that impact the vast majority of WIR participants. We help women conquer their drug addiction, recover from trauma and acquire the essential economic, emotional and social tools to build successful and productive lives. WIR is designed for women who are dedicated to changing their lives and becoming positive, contributing members of our community.
