If you are serious about your goal and willing to do the right thing, an ultimatum may be enough to persuade him to accept help. You must be ready to host an intervention if you do decide to do so. Although an intervention is not intended to be a confrontation, it can become one if it is handled badly. A professional is the best way to conduct an intervention. They can help you to find the right treatment program.

These are common thoughts when you think about someone who is addicted to drugs or alcohol. It is hard to understand why he keeps going down this destructive path. He makes so many poor choices. Why is he causing so much pain for his loved ones and family?
It is absurd that he continues to use drugs and drink in spite of the devastating consequences. Although he knows you are going to leave him, his children are hurting and his job is at risk, he doesn't want to give up on his life. He doesn't seem to care, which makes you angry. You blame him for being weak. He doesn't care, and he doesn't feel weak. Instead, he has the addiction disease. It won't be changed by all the guilt, blame and argument in the world. He needs to be helped. He will eventually ask for it. You expect him to seek it out after he has reached "rock bottom". He will eventually come to his senses if you continue to point out his mistakes and remind him of his failures. Many addicts find it difficult to reach out for help. Sometimes, they don't even realize how bad things can get.
If you are serious about your goal and willing to do the right thing, an ultimatum may be enough to persuade him to accept help. You must be ready to host an intervention if you do decide to do so. Although an intervention is not intended to be a confrontation, it can become one if it is handled badly. A professional is the best way to conduct an intervention. They can help you to find the right treatment program. You must be ready to establish healthy boundaries and remain strong before you begin this process. It is different to help a loved person with addiction than to help someone with another illness. Any attempt to relieve his pain will only make the disease worse. He will not need you to be there to help him, to bail him out, to fix his mistakes and to make his life easier.
