Hi, unfortunate that your friend has a addiction problem. Since it is addiction to a chemical substance, addiction would be physical and also psychological, and both would need to be addressed.
Next Steps
Look for Anon groups (like AA, practising 12 steps) in your area for guidance. In many cases of substance addiction it may be best for extended admission to a de addiction centre.
Health Tips
It is good that your friend has support in his family and you. Remember that patience is very much essential when helping addicts, and it may take multiple attempts before quitting for good.
