And remember that _you_ have to define what help is, not her. If she starts to lose it, she'll tell you what she wants from you -- money, emotional support. All aimed at preserving her habit and her way of life. As an addict, of course, she's likely to lie like crazy.
But you have to give her what she needs, not what she asks for. You won't give her cash, but you'll help her get into rehab. You'll drive her to the clinic and go in with her, but you won't give her the keys to your car or take her word that she went there. Don't expect her to be happy about it.
