What has she done to help herself? In my personal experience, so long as I had someone to help me manipulate my addiction (including procuring medications/drugs illegally), I never had to take responsibility for my recovery. And by making someone else responsible for my recovery (taking hostages), I was able to maintain the illusion of control over my drug use.
My suggestion would be to hand her the phone book and the telephone and let her get clean on her own. If you want to help, help yourself and find a Naranon meeting. I'm sure you care about her and mean well, but how you describe helping her -- for this addict, at least -- is really enabling her addiction.
Peace & Love,
Sugah
