II. Controlled drugs management framework

All countries value the importance of drug abuse issue nowadays, especially the addictive

controlled drugs, as they will be likely to harm the citizens’ health due to improper or illegal use.
Therefore, the management of addictive controlled drugs and prevention of drug abuse are important
issues to the society and the public health nowadays. According to “Single Convention on Narcotic
Drugs (1961),” “Convention on Psychoactive Substances (1971),” and “Convention against Illicit
Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances of the United Nations (1988),” Taiwan has
imposed controls on narcotics, psychotropic substances and their preparations through the “Narcotics
Hazard Prevention Act.” However, due to the necessity of controlled drugs in medical or scientific

application, the “Controlled Drugs Act” has been established to give a control framework, which
is composed of licensing, scheduling, and diversion management (Figure 1-6) to complete the
management of controlled drugs.
