My mom is still an addict after quiting drinking...what's my move?

I'll try to keep this short.

My mom told the entire family about a year ago that she was an alcoholic and she was going to start A.A.
She's always had an addictive personality, and had an extremely rough childhood. She has been taking anti-depressants for as long as I can remember.
So she quit drinking...
About a month later she was always complaining about her migrain headaches. She's always had migrains every once in awhile, but nothing like this. Since then it's only gotten worse, to the point where she is now taking shots of very strong medictation, almost every single night to help her sleep.
I myself am addicted to marijuana, so I know what to look for. She is always making lame comments about this or that causing her head to hurt. I can just tell that she is using her headaches to get stoned.
My dad is a doctor so it's easier to get these meds for her than the average person. She will freak out at him, saying stuff like, "You've never had to go through this!! You don't know how this feels!" Blah, blah, blah.
My plan is to first talk to my dad about this, and see what his thoughts are. But even if he tells me he thinks everything is fine, I think I still should talk to her about it.

This is obviously a touchy subject, because I'll basically be accusing my mom of lying to us all and being addicted to migraine meds. She could take this the wrong way in a second and it could get really ugly.

Should I move forward without the support of my dad?
FWIW he's the type of guy who ALWAYS avoids conflict whenever possible. He's never smoked or done any drugs other than the occasional beer, so he really doesn't have any first hand experience on this issue. His first instict will obviously be to give her the benefit of the doubt.

I can see the signs and it really bothers me, so I don't know if I can keep my mouth shut even without the rest of my family's support.

Any suggestions would be appreciated...
