Falls - The phone # at DBT is 911. I also have chronic pain and am not entitled to receive my pain meds in any of the hospitals that I know of ... I've gone through this before. I tried to get into one that I know of that has a detox unit where prescriptions can be dispensed, pain meds - narcotics; then you spend your days attending behav. health unit, just get your meds at detox unit. But when I call re: this problem, I get the run around. I will try call CONTACT again, for about the 3rd time in a couple years ... all other times beds full at this particular center, and the person who answers is confused re: pain med dispensation. I'll be paying $800.00 out of my SSD of $800 for the rest of this year and into next. There are no behav.health/chronic pain ctrs. and if there were I could not afford them. Thank you so much. I know you are right. It's just not so easy when I have to deal w/ chronic pain - well, it's impossible ... cf
