Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A controlled substance is a drug with considerable potential for misuse, addiction, or abuse, whose use is regulated and monitored in the United States by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). Controlled substances must be stored in health care facilities in double-locked storage. The quantity of these agents kept in storage must be accounted for at regular intervals. In the United States, all drugs (controlled or not, generic or trademarked) have a precise dosage set by the Food and Drug Administration. Drugs used to treat severe psychiatric disorders include neuroleptics, benzodiazepines (and other anxiolytics, sedatives, and hypnotics), and antidepressants.
