I am not a doctor but from what I have read and heard an addict must go to rehab otherwise he cannot beat the addiction.

We're afraid that in rehab he'll just make more friends to get it from...

do an intervention. tell them the damages that can be done. get help from other outside sources. tell them how harmful it is affecting everyone around them.

If you are wanting something church related to help, you might check out www.teenchallengeusa.com and maybe they can point you in the right direction.

well, first the addict needs to admit he or she has a problem. otherwise, no treatment will work. you can make that happen by intervention..showing them that what they're doing is wrong and hurting them. once that happens, then they can seek professional help through rehabilitation centers, psychiatrists, and doctors.
