Call your local Guidance Center. It’s a non-for-profit organization that is there to help. Usually if you take her to a hospital, they can admit her into a drug rehabilitation program and the cost will be based off of her income.
P.S…. she’s got to want to do it. Otherwise, you can force her to go, but she will go back to her old ways until she’s ready to take the leap herself.
