I feel for you and your friend! I am praying for you both!
I agree with the answers above! It is bad to say but, if you don't get her help she will probably die...I found some sites that might give you the information you need!

You can go to your local Human Resources office and find help.
She may never talk to you again but, isn't that worth it?
Believe me when I say that she will forgive you someday and be thank full for you! Remember you are being a true friend by saving her life....
I know that I am proud of you just like everyone here, for caring about your friend...God Bless You Both!

Drugs can have that side effect. It is really hard to help someone who does not want the help. I would talk to her about your concerns and try to tell her how you feel about it. I was a heavy meth user for about two years and had to find out on my own that I needed help. I ignored others in my life and thought I was doing just fine. It might be helpful if you find a support group that you can go to that would give you ideas on how to cope with this! Good luck!

You're a good friend to want to help. Suck as it may to have to tell on her, if you want to help her, you must tell someone who can help you with this. Can you talk to your parents about it? If so, tell them what's going on and ask them to help you talk to her parents about it. She might get mad, but at least she'll be alive to be mad at you. She's doing considerable harm to her body and you need to get her help right away. It's also possible that in addition to having a drug problem, she might have an eating disorder. If you can't talk to your parents, do you feel comfortable talking to hers? Or do you have another adult family member or adult family friend that can help you out? Even a school counselor can help, but seek out the help of one of these people now before it's too late for your friend. Good luck.

Honestly, you have to do the right thing and make her go to rehab or call the cops and force her into rehab. Being a supportive friend is good, but they will only listen to a point. Eventually they will thank you for helping them out and getting them clean. Be there for them and don't take no for an answer.

The best thing you can do for her is to pray, pray, and pray some more. Most people are unable to get off of drugs (or any addiction for that matter) until they have felt enough pain/consequences to make them realize they have to stop.

She has to hit her low point before she will even think abot help. Some peoples low poing is lower than others. But when she is there just be ready. Getting her help won't work until she wants it.

Just let her know that you are worried for her and let her know that if she needs it you will be there for her. Thats all you can do at this point, until she is ready to stop this herself, you will not be able to help.

Suggest her to quit or suggest her to go to rehab.

I'm confused...
You can't get anyone help, they have to want to help themselves.
