Dallas County Jail

re: pain mgt meds

I never suggested I would expect them to allow him to keep in cell, nor would I want them to.

Was that a serious question? Have I ever seen a drug user in jail? Would think most have. I hope you are not ignorant enough to be referring to a patient being treated for pain management as a drug user....?! While, yes one becomes addicted to narcotics, in response for it to be medically necessarry to function, at a minimum lelpl

Sorry, Phil, I was just trying to help - what most doctors consider necessary pain management medicine the jails consider unnecessary. That's why they usually only give you ibuprofen in jail. I am not suggesting that somebody taking pain medication is a drug user, I'm just telling you that the jails usually don't make a distinction. Best of luck.
