Controlled substances comprise of both prescription drugs and illicit drugs that are classified into five schedules and regulated based on their potential for abuse, misuse and addiction. There are many drugs like opioids, stimulants, anti-depressants, hallucinogens and anabolic steroids which do a world of good, but they can be misused, abused or even lead to addiction. They can easily fall victim to diversion and trafficking as well. This is why the government has to maintain strict control over how they are made, stored, distributed, handled and used. USA has instituted the Controlled Substances Act to promote the legitimate availability and use of such drugs for medical and scientific purposes while curbing any kind of illegitimate usage. The Act has established five schedules that classify the controlled substance drugs based on parameters like their medical value, risk of addiction and ability to cause harm.
All scheduled drugs are available only by prescription from a DEA-licensed medical professional. These practitioners also have to follow a slew of procedures and protocols for the safe and controlled handling of the controlled substances, like physical security, inventory control, maintaining a veterinary controlled drug log and so on.
