The truth of the matter is that this is an unpredictable situation and everyone in this thread has said some valuable things.
Forwarding her to a trained professional (hotline or otherwise) could work out very well and lead to a resolution or it might not. That's why abuse is a continuous focus and there are abused men and women who relapse all the time and go back to their abuser.
I definitely don't recommend the friends adopting this as their effort. It's too much for friends to take on. Be there to support her but challenge her to go beyond you all and get help. Tell her that you won't abandon her but that she needs a different kind of support and a way to accumulate her own strength.
