no you don't have a lawsuit. I am assuming since your discharge was for taking the painkillers and testing positive for drugs at a possible drug recovery program. basically in those programs they have every right to discharge a person when they test positive regardless of the reason. that is why during intak e and classes they tell the clients when seeking medical treatment let the treating professional know you are in the treatment program and you cannot take anything stronger than NORMAL aspirin or NORMAL tylenol. That way the doctor will advise you on a dosage of those that will help the pain but not get you into trouble with drug rehab.

As for the hospital strip/searching - they had every right to do that too. Its standard protocal for involuntary commitment that the person be stripped and given a hospital gown and their personal items (clothing and whatever they bring with them) is locked up and given back to them only after they have been stabilized. And no they are not required to have gender specific security to enforce this. Especially when dealing with highly volitile patients such as those being involuntarily committed. Been through it myself three times.
