Dual Diagnosed - Relief Only or Relief AND Recovery?

Some folks argue that those of us who have bipolar disease or addiction are more sensitive than usual to pain--both mental and physical pain. Pain relief for those of us who have for years "self-medicated" is a troublesome issue. In the back of our minds is the instinctive caution: "The substances which made us sick will not make us well again." Yet many of us who were substance "abusers" are faced with the choice to take prescriptions for mind or mood altering substances.
Our new prescriptions may be different from the booze and street drugs we have taken, but the general effect and the dependence we feel when we take them under doctors' orders are not so different, though perhaps no so intense, from the stuff we have abused. We must be at all times wary of relapse.
