I Am A Former Drug Abuser, And The Veins In

I am a former drug abuser, and the veins in my arm and hand are now collapsed. I have not had my blood drawn recently due to the inability of the phlebotomists to fine any veins. However, there is a vein that shows in my leg. Is it permissible for them to take samples from my leg and if not is a port a viable option. I have high cholesterol, high blood pressure, also diabetes runs in my family, so my doctor needs my blood results. I have visited clinics and hospitals to have my blood drawn to no avail. What are my options?
