My best friend suffers from chronic pain following severe trauma in a car accident. I have observed that she deviates from the prescribed directions (quantity & frequency) for taking her methadone. While I know this medicine has alowed her to regain a sense of normalcy and functioning in her daily life, I am concerned that there is more going on beneth the surface. 

Understandibly, this is a very sensitive issue for her, and causes a great deal of struggle, but how can I raise my concern to her in a non-offensive and sincere manner? Thanks.
