Bizi,
Ask them how they deal with "dual diagnosis" because a person with
bipolar needs special treatment.

Quote:
Dual diagnosis is the term used when a person has a mood disorder such as depression or bipolar disorder (also known as manic depression)
and a problem with alcohol or drugs. A person who has a dual
diagnosis has two separate illnesses, and each illness needs its own
treatment plan.

If the drinking is separate from bipolar, the bipolar has be taken
into consideration.
Do you think that the drinking is connected to bipolar? If so, can the
bipolar be better treated?
