As Aidey said, been on drugs for so long means she may not know any different and therefore find it difficult for her to see the advantage and or point of going all the way with recovery; she may also be inadvertently be having a negative influence of her boyfriend as you pointed out. Thus, it will be hard for her to recover on her own and professional help is the far better alternative.

You are worrying about if she used the money for drugs and not recovery purposes, but then if she broke the trust you held in her then her problem is far worse than she can see and maybe it would call for a bit more honesty so she sees that she has just used her best friend in that way? If she decides to hate you or not is her choice but would more likely be the addict talking, not your friend. I believe it maybe better if you do tell her how you feel? As you do care and worry for her, you quite clearly sound as though you do and you also sound like an amazing friend to her. Furthermore, that you think it maybe best for her to continue with professional help, because it will be in better surroundings? See how my wording makes a big difference from her boyfriend been a bad influence?

It sounds as though you are getting hurt by this and it is affecting you adversely. Please remember to look after yourself. As much as you may want to help there, there is very little that can be done but been there is the greatest thing you can do for her.

PM anytime.

*hugs*
Take Care,
