DEA Secure Controlled Substance Storage Guidelines
Part of the DEA’s oversight is performing periodic unannounced inspections in order to audit locations that store and administer controlled substances. Typically, this is done to verify that the facility is compliant with the Controlled Substance Act. Violation of regulations included in the Controlled Substance Act can result in increasing levels of penalty, including:
Letter of Admonition
$10,000 fine for each individual violation
Suspension or revocation of registration
Prison sentence
It’s because of the high stakes that come with performing poorly with a DEA audit, that conventional controlled substance cabinets become a liability. It’s just easier to find yourself not being compliant with a key-locked cabinet. So, what’s our solution?
