Abstract
Barbiturate withdrawal has long been a subject of controversy, even in the confines of locked psychiatric hospital wards, and certainly never a technic to be attempted on a casual outpatient basis. This report will describe a phenobarbital substitution technic for barbiturate withdrawal on an outpatient basis, which we have utilized with good results in the treatment of over 50 patients at the Haight-Ashbury Free Medical Clinic. This outpatient technic was developed for the very practical reason that much of our drug abusing population simply refuse hospitalization in the available state or county hospital facilities.
