since talking probably wont help (Im baseing this on the severity of the addiction), you should seek an rehabilitation clinic. various phone based rehabs are also available. just don’t try to do anything yourself (to him), else you might get hurt, since people arent themselves when they are on drugs and have no sense of identity
