PCP Addiction (Drugs, Angel Dust, Psychological Dependency), How to Treat?

Question by Maxim: PCP addiction (drugs, angel dust, psychological dependency), how to treat?
My friend is having difficulties getting off her PCP addiction, it’s affected her everyday life including getting a job, although she is a recreational user. I need help in getting her (psychologically) off that stuff. She has kept away for as long as 7 months before and up to 7 days since I met her.

I am a white first generation immigrant with good education and a job. She is a struggling black girl from Central America (second generation immigrant) who grew up in a black part of town (The Hood if you will). It is hard for her to stay away from her friends (who also use PCP and marijuana). She is intellectually agile, sexually curious and naturally kind. There is an understanding of the problem but answer to “Why did you smoke it?” is usually “I don’t know”.
