I would really push the issue of the electricity points as that is a potentially lethal risk to those who go in that room in the future.
No chance do the police maintain a room to put people in while they are being assessed. All the police do is respond to the crisis call and take you there if they believe it is required. Some police forces are even taking a qualified nurse with them as a trial now as it helps them determine if they need to take people to these centres.
The attitude of the lady in that place is ludicrous. She, and this place, need to be investigated.
I don't understand about your medication. I can see that it would be right to take it as you could use it to harm yourself but they should still provide you with the adequate dosage. If they don't, its obvious that you could easily start experiencing withdrawal and thats not going to be helpful for anyone who is that seriously unwell already.
Good luck. I think it would be one for local media as they love NHS cobble ups.
