SOLVED. Science fiction. Brain chips to force good behavior. Spoiler ahead. [s]

This is a book that my dad read when he was a kid. So probably around 1980s ish. It was about a society were everyone has a brain implant that causes pain or something negative when “bad” behavior is done. He remembers that there was a small outside society that is found and they are forcibly taken into the city and have the chips installed. There was also a doctor that is able to remove the chips from other people. When asked how he can do so without his own implant going off, he says that he has learned that the implants are bad and that removing them is actually good. The book ends with a group shutting down the chips and everyone going on.

Maybe The Alliance by Gerald N. Lund?
