You my friend are what we call co-depenent. You can only be supportive and set a good example.

have an intervention.

I'm sorry, but you can't "make" anyone do anything. They have to make the decision to stop for themselves if it is going to really happen.
You have to do what's best for you. Do you want to have your life continue to be affected by their selfish choices? Can you stand watching them slowly kill themselves? Sometimes telling the person that you aren't going to support their choices by being a part of their life is the best thing that you can do for yourself, and the person with the addiction.
Good luck, and take care of yourself.

I'm sorry to say, that there is no way. You can't change someone or make someone do something they don't want to do. They have to want to change. Once someone reaches rock bottom, they will either choose to stay there or find a change in themselves. The best way you can help them is by not helping them in any way. Helping them will slow their move to rock bottom. Helping them will make there addiction go on forever.

You cannot make them do anything, they have to want to do it themselves

I know its hard, but you can't make them stop. It was there freaking damn bad choice to live their life like that. Have them go to therapy. Soon you will be at their funeral if they don't quit.

there is no way that you can make anyone stop doing anything that they feel is right for them, no matter what you say or do. they have to realize on their on that what they are doing isn't good for them, and alot of times they have to hit rock bottom before that happens. all you can do is be there to pick them up once they've fallen.

well my dear, you cannot make them stop using. this is a very difficult situation. my first question to you would be " does your loved one ever verbalize that they would want to but just can't? if so , you can only be there for support and help guide this person to a treatment center , then be there for this person when the treatment center has functions and family therapy.
right now , you ask them "Do you want to stop using drugs?
now if they do not want to stop using , there's little you can do except be a positive influence in their life and lead by example. prayer does work , pray every day for this person to wake up out of the drug induced fog and find the sweetness in life. there is one thing , maybe that you could influence them to do , and that is to start going to some type of counseling with you. let it be something you do together. there's always an underlying problem or issue
that is unresolved or depression that is influencing the addiction. people who are depressed feel bad and the drugs make them feel good. it's very simple to understand when you look at it like that. who wouldn't want to feel better. but because of underlying mental issues , their decision making isimpulsive and ignorant to the cost or the price that they may pay for using drugs to feel better. usually an antidepressant would be given and counseling , then a change in life style. Lots of prayers . if this is someone you love and they love you , then use that to your advantage in guiding them down the right path. good luck

Unfortunately, you CAN'T make a person stop using drugs. The best you can do is organize an intervention along with others in the person's life and somehow try to persuade the person to seek treatment. Ultimately, though, it's up to that person alone to seek help.

---

You can't. You can encourage them to go into rehab but that is about it. Even though you may care for this person you have limited options. One thing you don't want to be an enabler. If this person is having a detrimental effect on your life it may be necessary for you to seek greener pastures. Tough love is tough but you can't let someone else destroy your life.
