40 Year Old Prostitute in Las Vegas Addicted to Meth and Other Drugs?

Question by 18/f/usa: 40 year old Prostitute In Las Vegas Addicted to Meth and other drugs?
I want to help my best friend with this burden. He is 21 years old and living on his own with his father’s moral support, so he is not completely alone family-wise, but he is extremely close with his mother because his dad wasn’t in the picture until 14 years old. He loves his mother more than anything in the world and it deeply pains him to know where she is in life because, daily, he expects the call from his grandma that she’s dead. He has no hope she will change because it seems where ever she goes she gets into the same lifestyle. She is honestly a good person, sweet as can be. Are there any options for this woman because she can not keep hooking for a living very soon or survive as a meth addict much longer. I want to commit her to a rehab center, but I don’t know if that’s the best thing or if she will even go! She needs therapy, and that’s for sure. Her early life was tragic.

I have been out in california since the entry date of treatment and she is back in missouri,so its a long distance relationship right now and it sucks. Over the past 9 months she has visied me twice foa a week at a time ,the most recent in jan 2012. i have had some mishaps and issues with following treatment rules resulting changing to a few rehabs out here and then moved to sober houde. I had a job was doing well and then all the sudden out of no-where 3 weeks prior to her turning 21 told me that she can no longer take the distance and the fear of not knowing if i will relapse later on in the future and emotionally just cant deal with it again. btw shes a normal persom who just drinks. I love this woman and plan to ,arry her. So recently we had many great conversations and things were going well she was just upset and angry for me beeing kickd out of the sober house, then all the sudden she had stopped answering all my calls and now just took all of are many pics off her facebook and has blocked me to where i cannot even see her page.and its killing me.
