Hi, I asked Jack Trimpey where this fellow could get legal help and here is
his response. Interestingly, there is much of this sabotage by the system
to people who simply want to quit. Cheers, Carol 

>From Jack Trimpey: 
Not a Rational Recovery Systems Incorporated atty, but this sounds like it
might go to federal court as a 
civil rights case. There's a culpable physician, but there are also those 
who use the ill-begotten information to discriminate against him, based 
on the social stigma of addictive disease. Ultimately, it's his guilt 
through association with AA, the prime source of the addictive disease 
mythology.
