Minfulness for prescribed diazepam addict

After 7 months on diazepam (6mg per day) to treat me for codeine painkiller withdrawal, I've become addicted, moderately depressed and anxious, and unable to withdraw so far without horrific side effects. I've just bought The Mindfulness Way Through Depression (Williams et al) and have ordered the workbook. My local tutor is skeptical about this working without coming off the diazepam first. Do you think mindfulness can help me cope even though I stay on the diazepam?
