A: It sounds like you're facing a challenging situation with your treatment for addiction and experiencing discrimination from DCS. It's essential to document all instances of discrimination and keep detailed records of your treatment attempts and any correspondence with DCS. If your attorney is not effectively representing you, you may want to consider seeking a new attorney who is willing to advocate for your rights and take appropriate legal action against DCS for discrimination.

In the meantime, you can reach out to advocacy organizations or legal aid services that specialize in issues related to addiction treatment and discrimination. They may be able to provide you with resources, support, and guidance on how to address your situation effectively. Additionally, consider seeking support from other individuals who have experienced similar challenges with addiction treatment and discrimination, as they may offer valuable insights and advice.

It's essential to prioritize your health and well-being during this difficult time. Don't hesitate to seek support from friends, family, or mental health professionals who can offer emotional support and assistance as you navigate these challenges. Remember that you have rights, and there are resources available to help you address discrimination and ensure that you receive fair and appropriate treatment for your addiction.
