Hello Ma'am, therapy works best when the client is self motivated to work on their concerns. You can offer support in the form of helping them build awareness around root cause of anger issues and importance of mental health.
You can take further steps by accessing psychiatric intervention and additionally consider long term support in the form of therapy.
If there is a lot of resistence, then interventions like family therapy may also be useful to gather momentum for collaborative efforts.

Firstly , He needs to meet a Psychaitrist not a therapist. Seeing the issues he may be having with mood control and substance abuse and lack of understanding of the problem and unwillingness to see a professional.
It could help to visit a Psychiatrist yourself along with family and discuss the problem in detail and understand why this behaviour may be happening.
Based on the assessment Psychaitrist can give you some meds which can be given to him to help him reduce the symptoms which can be tried to being with .
With partial resolution of the symptoms next further steps can be planned. The family needs support too in such cases and thus meet the doctor
