One of the most important things to understand is that this type of behavior is NOT okay, and NOT normal, regardless of how many of his/her friends do it on a regular basis. That is key in understanding the importance of this. Also, if they seriously want help, they need to stop contributing to the scene. They cannot keep going out and drinking/partying with the same people and expect to stop using. I have seen it too many times. First determine if this person really wants to quit, or if they are telling you this simply so you do not look down upon them. It is very easy for these types of people to have no intention of quitting, yet tell their non-using friends that they want their help to stay on their good side... Good luck, drastic measures must be taken to truely quit something like this.
