Psychotherapy: and psychiatric consultation are the mainstays of therapy. This case cannot be managed online. I suggest immediate psychiatric evaluation and removal of all narcotic medicines from the home. ER-TODAY!

This is clearly: a serious problem. Both from a legal and a health standpoint. It is not possible to know if her feelings of unreality are from narcotic abuse or a separate psychiatric problem. It sounds like she likely needs to be assessed psychiatrically to determine if she needs some form of detoxification or rehabilitation. If she is arrested - it may force the issue.
