Check w/insurance: For this request you would contact your insurance company for referrals. You can also check with the american academy of pain medicine: http://www.Painmed.Org/patientcenter/main.Aspx if consuming additional substances or not using your pain medicine as prescribed, the pain medicine physician may discharge you also. You will need to work within a treatment contract wherever you go. Be well.

The doctor: That won't give you pain meds has to give you a letter of termination with three alternate pain management providers in the area. Try them, also try google search, works well. Next time respect and listen to your doctors instructions with regards to these highly regulated and very dangerous medications.
