Thanks everyone, I have done so much reading and research on alcohol abuse, I know have a new subject to read about. I am in new territory with the Rx meds and geriatric addiction.
As for talking to her DR, he was rude, arrogant and absolutely unwilling to hear me out on her stomach issue alone, much less her drug dependence. He is done, I am going to find her new docs and basically threaten to sue this one if he ever sees my mom again. Already told her this too, sometimes being a bitch works. As far as his other patients?? I truly believe in Karma and what goes arounds comes around, but I have not ruled out written complaints. Too angry, tired to act on that now, need to really think it through although I feel he is very dangerous in the way he practices medicine. He is actually an endocronologist who does not even control her diabetes. He has no business prescribing Darvocet and Klonopin.
