In the support group I used to go to, some of the people there had a spouse or parent who would keep their meds locked up and would only fill up one of those weekly med boxes for them so they wouldn't impulsively take too much meds. I think these people who you are talking about are trying to be that accountability for you, to keep you safe. If you don't have all your meds there with you in your home, you can't impulsively take them all.
