worried about mixture of pills

My AH is addicted to painkillers, he has been on and off them for years due to a back injury...he was off for awhile and now back. My concern is that he takes oxys, ambien to sleep, ativan for anxiety plus traxadone, benedryl and sometimes washes them down with a few beers. I think that would kill a horse, but it barely puts him out for a few hours.
He goes to 3 diff doctors and I don't think each knows about the other meds is is getting..After reading about Heath Ledger, these were the same kinds of drugs he died from accidentally. Do you think my concerns are legit and I have brought them to his attention but get nowhere. Should I call the drs? Any advice please. He also gets verbally nasty when hes on the oxys and ambien cr. along w/that blank droopy eyed stoned out look that i can't stand.
