Abstract: The Controlled Substances Act requires practitioners conducting narcotic treatment to register annually with DEA. 21 U.S.C. 822, 823(g)(1); 21 CFR 1301.11, 1301.13. Registration is a necessary control measure that prevents diversion by ensuring the closed system of distribution of controlled substances can be monitored by DEA and that the businesses and individuals handling controlled substances are qualified to do so and are accountable.
