You need to lay down the law and then if he does not straighten out, place his bags on the front stoop and lock the door (change the locks). Unfortunately, programs and other therapy ONLY work when the person doing the drugs or whatever WANTS help. If he does, call your local hospital and they can guide you. If not, then go with the first suggestion.

I am not sure of any programs that would depend on where you are from.
But there are other things you can do like first I would recommend that you talk to him about this and tell him you are scared he could hurt himself.
Then you could talk to his counselor if you are still in school and ask them for advice. You can do this confidentially without giving his name.
There are also agencies that will hold interventions and such to help you with this. Just check out what is availible in your area online or phone book.
My sister went thru the same thing and her friend is using again b/c her parents do, make sure you are proceding in the right direction first. If you ever have questions please e-mail me.
Good luck to you and I hope things get better.
