[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 21567"] Does your daughter take medications for her bipolar? It's not uncommon at all for bipolar patients to self-medicate with drugs and/or alcohol. I took a continuing education class on depression and bipolar and they said that something like 2/3 of bipolar patients self-medicate at one time or another. The hypomania that comes with bipolar can become very addicting and drugs and alcohol can recreate it, in a sense. It sounds like she needs a rehab facility that is going to deal with a dual-diganosis...drugs and mental illness. I don't know anything about rehabs, so I don't know if they do that already. [/QUOTE]
