Opioid or Benzodiazepine Automatic stops

Has anyone successfully instituted an automatic stop time for opioids or benzodiazepines while in-patient and is willing to share their policy or procedure? Likewise, if anyone has successfully used pharmacy to minimize discharge on these classes unnecessarily, would love to hear about it as well.
Thanks all.
