The FIRST thing you should do is NOT ENABLE him. Refuse to give him any money -- I don't care how much he begs. Don't answer his phone calls if that's necessary. He'll never recover if people help him thru his troubles, and trip land-mines for him. He's got to face reality and see what this is doing to his life.
There isn't a thing you can do to help the addict. HE has to do it himself. Until he's ready to stop the insanity, he'll continue on as he is. It's not your responsibility to help him anyway. He has a choice -- get clean or die. The ONLY thing you can do is advise him to confess to his doctor, who can help him get off the opiates/medication.
I wish you the very best. I know this is difficult, but it's for his own good. God bless & take care. Hugs, Lee
