I'll try to make a long story short. My brother was born with a fused skull, in 1990 before they had nice laser surgeries, etc. The resulting surgery left him with seriously debilitating headaches in adulthood. After trying different illegal opioids/heroine he went to a doctor and was prescribed Vicodin or worse. After a year on the ommp program he has quit his prescription pills, and asked the doctor if there was anything else less intoxicating (my brother being a wildland firefighter). He seemed very upset with my brother, and gave him a crap prescription he couldn't function on. I week later he emailed the doctors office to forward his papers. After a lot of hassle they forwarded his medical records saying he was a drug seeking individual and a bad candidate for the OMMP program. He was denied. Now he has quit his prescriptions and is no longer an ommp member. This program was very helpful at giving him a decent standard of living but now we don't know which direction we need to go.
