I Have Verydear Friend , 33 Married, 18 Month Old

I have Verydear friend , 33 married, 18 month old child. She has been using cocaine on and off for around 7 years, initially only with a group of friends, out partying, university friends , but in recent years , not while pregnant or feeding, she went to a darker place, out on her own, new friends, partying on cocaine, bad enough that even her old coke friends can't know. Her husband a busy senior executive, travels a lot with work, and she, clearly gets gets lonely, so ironically it is when he is home, and her to look after their baby son, that out she goes, starting the night in the safety of her friends, and then under the cover of going home to her husband and son, she heads off to the darkness and the hidden life of more coke, and "partying" whatever that may involve. She says she is done, wants out, and has shown the right signs. But she can't or won't share her situation with her husband or friends, just me. She won't do rehab or counselling. I fear she will lose everything, including her family. I know her chances of succeeding without the necessary support and treatment, but I am it. I want to help, love her to death, a friend for many many years, but there is little I can do, but whatever I can I have to. Any tiny pieces of advice appreciated. I am terrified that she will lose everything, or get hurt, or humiliated to an unrecoverable level, or suffer physical damage that can't be recovered from. I believe she is genuine , but I know addicts, and know I can only believe a small amount. IF she she genuine, what can I help her do. I can't control her whereabouts or movements. Desperate .
