And as to what others have speculated:  yes, of course it's drugs.  Not that she's actually high every time she rages at you--but that she's fallen into a cycle of drug use and it has annihilated her morality entirely.  Expect nothing will bring her to heel--i.e., return her to tractability--other than force greater than her own.  I hate to be so blunt and seemingly dogmatic, but I've seen all of this, exactly as you describe it, and in NC as well.  A kid in that state of ongoing amorality and violence won't simply self-correct, and no amount of reasoning or pleading will get through to her.  You need the sort of help that cops provide, and plenty of it.  And you need to send her the message that you will NOT simply endure her reign of terror, or submit meekly to it--and that means consequences EVERY time she violates not only your household rules but, obviously, the law as well.
