title: The resurrection and the life.
abstract: This first-person account of a woman undergoing manic-depression concurrent with alcohol and drug problems highlights the difficulties of attaining help from a system geared toward treating one or the other but not both, and hints at the positive outcomes possible when an integrated approach to co-occurring addictive and mental disorders--one that incorporates the knowledge and perspectives of the client and the family as well as the professional--is available.
