1. An abuse resistant pharmaceutical formulation comprising:
- (a) one or more abusable drugs, and(b) one or more abuse deterrent components, wherein each abuse deterrent component comprises;
(i) a core comprising one or more materials that are both hydrophilic and hydrophobic; and
(ii) optionally a coating;
wherein the one or more abuse deterrent components slows, reduces, or slows and reduces, extraction by aqueous or alcoholic liquids of the one or more abusable drugs from the formulation.
