Indiana\u2019s Classification of Drugs<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
In Indiana, a classification system is used to categorize and define all drugs and controlled substances according to their abuse potential and addictive nature. These classifications are called \u201cschedules\u201d and were developed by Federal government and Indiana legislature. They range in number, from 1 to 5, and can also be influenced by other factors, including the level of acceptance for medical treatment, physical dependence, and psychological dependence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Schedule 5 (V) drugs<\/strong> are considered to be the least dangerous and addictive, with the lowest risk of dependency (addiction). Examples include non-narcotics such as Tylenol, Codeine, and similar OTC drugs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Schedule 4 (IV) drugs<\/strong> are considered to have a slight risk of physical or psychological dependency, but a wide range of medically accepted uses.
