The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) recognizes the growing problem of pharmaceutical controlled substance diversion throughout the United States, but cannot effectively combat this diversion alone.

- Identify controlled substances being diverted; and
- Describe methods DEA uses to prevent diversion of controlled substances.
