Treatment of substance abuse disorder requires commitment from both the patient as well as the organization or individual seeking help. If my friend seeks my guidance for treatment I would try to recognize his condition and his commitment to change. And according to that, I would determine what I should suggest to him. The options would be to quit on your own, self-help group, or professional help. If the condition is like smoking or drinking on a borderline I would first ask him to try and quit on his own at the beginning, though it can directly lead to the outcome, it has more chances of relapse therefore, in this case, I would advise him to be vigilant.
