Unless you've ever been there for an "addict" through the whole thing, you have no idea what you are getting yourself into.
It really has little to do with "not supporting the person" but more so, "how long can I support said person" and strong can you stay through the entire process. I've done it for a friend before and it was a lot harder than I think most people truly realize (and the guy is using coke again).
First, he has to want to kick his habit otherwise there is no hope. Second, detox rarely works without a good support sytem (family, friends that don't use). Third, you'll have to try to find other people he is close to that are willing to help put in the time because you won't be able to do it by yourself, trust me, no chance. You have to get him away from his current friends (the ones that use on a daily basis) because if he continues to be around those people he'll have stronger urges...
Did I mention it will be one of the hardest things you'll probably ever do? It's going to hurt watching, it's going to hurt being there and it's going to hurt watching him hurt.
