One thing I think that is critical for you to understand that is even after she comes out of rehab she is a DRUG ADDICT, and she will be a drug addict for the rest of her entire life. It does not matter whether she stays clean for 1, 2, 5, or 10 years, being a drug addict is part of her personality forever. Unfortunately, "relapse is part of recovery," an associate of my moms is a doctor with a specialization in addiction, he runs a meth clinic. He said the MINIMUM amount of times that the majority of addicts will go through rehab before staying clean for a substantial amount of time (years) is 7 times. My ex-g/f recently chose drugs over our relationship and its a very painful thing, to one watch the girl that you love with everything you have lose interest in you because she wants to snort powder up her nose, and two to watch a girl you love and want the best for flush her entire life down the drain.
The addiction is something I'm sure this girl will battle for many many years to come. If you're a young guy like me you will realise that you will only be wasting your most valuable years on someone you cannot change. Best of luck to you man in whatever decision you make, because honestly I know how I am, and I never listened to anyone. Good luck bro...
