What is the Controlled Substances Program?
The Drug Enforcement Administration is responsible for regulating controlled substances, including medications used on board vessels, in order to combat drug trafficking and abuse in the United States. The maritime industry is required to comply with the Controlled Substances Act, which ensures proper management of these medications to prevent misuse, abuse, or diversion.
It’s important to have a program in place for the management of controlled medications on board vessels to ensure the safety and well-being of crew members and passengers. Failure to comply with DEA regulations can result in significant legal and financial consequences.
3rd party Controlled Substance Management program providers, such as Discovery Health MD, help reduce risk of medication diversions by ensuring that vessel crews are trained on the regulations, documentation is complete and up to date, and proper protocols and procedures are in place.
