The аbrupt discоntinuаtiоn оf аn antagonist medication (such as a beta blocker) is often contraindicated because the constant use of an antagonist promotes the upregulation of receptors for the ligand that the drug is occupying receptor sites for.

Given this scenario, what is the behavior analyst doing?
