Veterinarians frequently use controlled substances (CSs) during the performance of their work. Whether used for sedation, anesthesia, euthanasia, or treatment of chronic medical conditions, controlled substances are part of most practitioners’ daily life. Because of the ubiquitous nature of their use, it is easy to become casual or even cavalier about these drugs. However, there are significant penalties for failure to adhere to the comprehensive statutes regarding CSs.This presentation will provide an overview of the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and outline the importance of compliance, the most important areas of non-compliance for veterinary practices, the best practices for meeting compliance requirements, how to handle theft of CSs from your practice, what to do if the DEA arrives at your door, and resources available to assist you in compliance.
