The invention comprises a transdermal dosage form comprising a active
agent component comprising a polymeric matrix and an abusable drug
substance, an overlay backing, a porous material, and an antagonist
reservoir comprising an antagonist to the abusable drug substance. The
porous material adjoins the antagonist reservoir and is in fluid
communication with the skin-contacting surface defined by the active
agent component. In one embodiment, the device comprises a barrier layer
interposed between the active agent component and the antagonist
reservoir.
