Well, the physical symptoms, yes. But, the psychological, probably not. After being heavily addicted to such harsh chemicals, she will always have to be careful of her surroundings. It will be very important for her to be mindful of the people she hangs around. And, even seeing people using on tv can trigger emotions for her. If she has been clean for 6 months, but is having physical symptoms now, like she did while going through withdrawal, my guess is she has used. It doesn’t take 6 months to detox off a drug.
