I do hope you come back to give more information so your questions can be answered. We have very knowledgeable people on this forum.
We don't know you and we're not here to judge. Was it a false positive? If it was and you signed a contract stating that you would take no other drugs then your Dr can let you go.
If the test was indeed wrong you can ask your Dr what kind of tests they use and what lab. This, if he will talk to you again. Many people get false positives when they have done nothing wrong. Some of the pain meds can show the same properties of other meds. Philnoir taught me about this and I hope he corrects me if I put that the wrong way.
If, and when you come back, it can be explained to you better.

Hello and Welcome to our Pain Management Forum.
I have several questions as you don't offer a lot of information. I'll stick the one question you did ask - which I think is about a 30 day opiate supply law. There never was an opiate such as law to my knowledge. I think you may be thinking of the Patient Abandonment Law.
Physicians use to provide you with a 30day supply of meds upon discharge. There were several reasons for that, one being the Patient Abandonment Law. Now the DEA and Pain Management (PM) Contracts have all but made that law obsolete, at least in PM.
Some physicians will aid you through the withdrawal process - some won't. They are just done with you. Much will depend on how your contract reads and how your particular physician operates.
I hope this helps. If you have additional questions please feel free to ask.
Best of Luck,
~Tuck

Hello, welcome to pain management. No its not right but they do it all the time. Did you sign a pain contract? I have had to at every pain management I've been to. They all say no other drugs in your system. Was cocaine a false positive?
Others will be along to give you more help than me. Hang in there
