You can call the places to find out where you can be properly taken care of. I am certainly not advocating that you get admitted somewhere and *then* find out if you can take the Percocet. Clearly any benefits for your mental health would be undermined by the physical issues if you cannot continue the Percocet. I have to believe that there are places that can help you. Perhaps if you found a Partial Hospitalization program - where you would be home in the evenings, but have support during the day - you could be in charge of your own medications but still get the emotional help you need? I don't know. But somebody does. You could call your local NAMI (National Alliance for the Mentally Ill), perhaps they would know of a resource. Certainly ask every therapist and psychiatrist you meet with.
It is so clear that you want help. Your determination will be an invaluable resource.
Hoping you can find the answer,
