Answer
Dear Brodey,

Please read:

Treatment of Drug Addiction at:
http://www.hypoglycemia.asn.au/articles/treatment_drug_addiction.html

Drug Addiction is a Nutritional Disorder at:
http://www.hypoglycemia.asn.au/articles/drug_addictions_nutritional_disorder.htm...

It may be best for her to admit herself to a drug withdrawal centre and then follow up with Nutritional Treatment.

We also have a

Self-help PSYCHOTHERAPY course at;
http://www.hypoglycemia.asn.au/i-psychotherapy.html

But she may need the help of a therapist familiar with Nutritional medicine or a Clinical Nutritionist.
