Addicts have to reach rock bottom before they realize its time to change their life. Allow her to reach that rock bottom and never enable her lifestyle in any way. Law enforcement can be contacted and at least she will get court ordered drug counseling and pressure to change. I work in mental health and I know meth causes very serious mental illness. Do your part to make her lifestyle difficult.
