How Can I Console Somebody Recovering From Drug Addiction?

Question by Bela: How can I console somebody recovering from drug addiction?
I have a suitemate who is moving out because of her drug addiction. Her mom has been living here for the past week, and it has been quite an emotional experience. There have been many tears, and many prayers. I was not really close with her (my suitemate) until these past few weeks. I really want to write her a letter reassuring her that everything will be okay. Any suggestions?
