The only experience I have with this is that if the person does not recognize the problem and want to change, there is nothing you can do for them. I have a good friend who has gone through rehab 4 times and is still drinking. His business is on the brink of going under. Each time he has gone in, it has been friends and family members who have gotten together and he has agreed to go through rehab. He did it for them. But each time he has come out, he went right back to drinking in excess. Out of control to the point it is killing him physically and financially.

Bottom line, you can not make some one quit. They have to decide for themselves, and until that happens...

As far as the emotional/mental stuff going on, that is way over my head.
