Sometimes Interventions work. The library has great books on doing an intervention where you gather those who love and care about her and basically surprise her. You will need to have in patient and out patient programs to back up the intervention and usually you can get a clergy to help with this for free but ask for him/her to leave out religion. You would have to do a ton of work to gather info and people. I tried it with my ex....he did get help and quit for a year but relapsed. Finally after too many DUI's he was required to inpatient help and went to a great facility in Florida. But they usually MUST hit rock bottom before wanting help. good luck---you are a great friend! |
