Hii
It is not possible to treat someone's addiction without that person's understanding of the situation and his cooperation
If he is ready to quit alcohol, he can be helped by medicines that would prevent the withdrawl symptoms
You can take him to a deaddiction centre or a psychiatrist for further treatment
