Can I prescribe controlled substances in CT with just a DEA #?


Read time: 6 minutes

No. You must also hold an active Controlled Substance Practitioner (CSP) Registration.

Without both a CSP and a CT DEA# associated, a practitioner in- or out-of-state is not permitted to distribute, dispense, conduct research, administer, or procure controlled substances during their professional practice as permitted by the Department of Public Health or another governing agency.
