Advice?

I keep going back and forth with myself over how to deal with/treat a loved one suffering from addiction. My mom has relapsed with various pills and alcohol over the past year and has literally lost everything. She's hopping from house to house (most of which are a bad influence or enabler). It's to the point where I'm not even sure if she's got a conscience anymore. She went to a women's rehab about 6 years ago when her brothers and sisters threatened to take my little sister from her. she lived a sober life for 5 years after that, but now she has burned her bridges with the family that was once willing to help her. I am the only one left and I feel so responsible for her and its tearing me apart.

Does anyone have any advice on how to handle this? Do you condone tough love? What can I do to get her on the path to rehab again?
