First, I’d call his doctor and tell him that if he continues to prescirbe meds, you will report him to the police. Your next assignment is to find a rehab facility that can take him in, then stage an intervention to get him in rehab. If he won’t go, then you have to get an attorney to go to court and have him declared a danger to himself or others. If you can do that, then he loses his legal autonomy to some extent and you can have the court order him either to jail or to rehab.
