I think my friend fell off the band wagon again...

Ex-friend, should I say? Basically the one I started a discussion about a few months back (if anyone read that one) about her just getting out of rehab for heroin addiction. She has been jobless and hasn't been going to school. For a while she seemed so close to pulling her life back together. But although we aren't talking, we live in the same house (she lives in the upstairs part) and in passing I have noticed some things that I can't ignore this time around -- signs, if you will. She looks like she has lost weight, for one. She is normally about 110 pounds (skinny as it is) for her 5'1 frame. She looks bonier than she was while she was in rehab. When she entered rehab, she was down to like 85 pounds and looked gaunt. Now she is starting to look that way again it seems like. She is also leaving at all hours of the night. She has no money for gas, that I know of, so I really don't know how she is getting around. She doesn't work at all (she got fired from her job ABOUT OVER a month ago). Something is also wrong with her face. Again, I don't see her except for in passing, but she has some weird rash or something on her face. It could all be unrelated and totally coincidental, but I don't think it is... You know, once someone starts doing drugs and you find out - the trust is lost. Of course we will assume the worst. I still care about her (I have known her her entire life!) and I am not sure there is anything I can do to stop this downward spiral, if in fact, that is what it is.... Been in a similar spot as me?
