Advice to deal addicted student?

(New Mexico)

I work at a small charter school in NM. Recently a young teenager was allowed to register at our school. She just finished a drug rehab program but in my estimation she is still in a bad way. We have no one at our school that has ever dealt with anyone youngster faced with this situation.

The vice principal is supposed to keep an eye on this young girl but does not. Our counselor is ill equipped to deal with the student. The student spoke with me last year and told me she needed a fix and was going to run away from school not caring if she was placed in prison. I told the vice principal and the young student was caught trying to leave school.

My question is why the hell do we have this girl as a student if no one knows how to deal with her? And what would your advice be?

Obviously, we do not have the facilities to help this youngster. If my principal ever found out I was writing this note I would get fired, but I am frightened for this youngster?
