Detoxification with phenobarbital of alprazolam-dependent polysubstance abusers.

N V Ravi1, I Maany, W M Burke, V Dhopesh, G E Woody.   

Abstract

Alprazolam appears to have an abuse liability among opiate addicts, and detoxification can be prolonged. The authors describe experience with five methadone maintenance patients who were polysubstance abusers and were admitted specifically for detoxification from alprazolam dependence. Phenobarbital in tapering doses adequately suppressed withdrawal symptoms and shortened hospitalization.
