• For returns from a patient, the regulatory procedure used for the destruction of Targeted Substances applies along with the recording of the source of the substance. For deceased patients, the form “Destruction-Estate” should be used and the drugs destroyed. This form can be obtained from the Office of Controlled Substances.
