You may want to consult an attorney to assist in retrieving your property, or alternatively, having a family member retrieve it on you behalf. You will also need to see if any action has been taken against your CHL with DPS.
I would tend to agree with this. Remember it is the officer's perception of what is happening on scene, not what was told to 911 that dictates the actions. If the officer suspected suicide attempt by Drug OD there should be a police report and property receipt somewhere. Most likely that would NOT have given it to your roommate as I assume he is not a relative of yours.
