Substance abuse is a condition that causes a spectrum of consequential problems ranging from mild to severe. Physical addiction withdrawal from such substances as alcohol, benzodiazepines, barbiturates and muscle relaxers usually requires detox tapering with medications in a hospital. Opiode withdrawal on the other hand can be handled outpatient with Suboxone or Subutex. That is if the patient feels medically and mentally stable enough.
