Hey, everyone - How did "she had a pretty bad experience with some pretty bad substances." turn into addiction?
People tend to act like the people they hang out with. If you and your friends (and I assume they'll become her friends, too) are not using drugs, chances are very good that she won't, either. Now - I should also add this to be fair - does she still hang out with the same people she did during the "bad experience" days? If so, then she's got incentive to go back to that lifestyle. If not, it looks like she's looking to change her life.
In any case, I'd say give her a chance to put her past behind her - nobody's perfect. Just remember, though, if she goes back to her old ways - you weren't put on this planet to be her savior - move on.
