Answer by Katie W
Basically, you can’t.
You can be supportive –encourage her to quit, or go to police to turn in her dealer, or to go to rehab, drive her to support groups, etc — but YOU CANNOT TAKE RESPONSIBLITY FOR HER PROBLEM, even if she tries to give it to you. It’s handy for addicts to hand off the problem to someone else, so many try to give away the responsibility to a friend or family. This doesn’t work. This absolves them of failing, and gives them no responsibility/investment in success.

Answer by Ed
Gosh, there are hundreds of different support groups.
WHO SEEKS the help for themselves (the abuser, a son/daughter, a parent, or a friend, an adult son/daughter still living with bad memories and ways of thinking from growing up with a drug abuser in the same family, or ?)?
Is THE DRUG ABUSER a kid, an adult, a father/mother, a physician, nurse, or ?
Do you know WHAT TYPE OF DRUG is the person abusing? Marijuana, Cocaine, Pills, or ?
Such info would be key to checking on the availability of a local support group helpline.
