Brief Answer:
It's a tricky subject

Detailed Answer:
if it's therapy, one of the centers associated with a medical school could do very well with therapy.
And... getting narcotics in pain management is a bit of a sore spot. You might consider going onto ostensibly an addiction program such as suboxone. It has reasonably good pain effects. you will be closely monitored. Payment set up can be an issue as many suboxone programs only accept (large amounts) of cash up front.
