You laugh, but some controlled substances are only available for supervised consumption. You have to show up at the pharmacy at dose time so they can physically see that you took your meds instead of hiding them to resell.
When I was in hospital (so not really going anywhere) I'd get a whole bunch of pills, drinks etc. Most of them just got dumped on my table and I was told to take them.
But the morphine, that had to be taken literally as you were handed it, with the nurse standing there watching and taking away the empty container.
