confused.

I am very worried for my exah. He has had a very rocky last 6 months. He is on anti-depressants and anti anxiety pills right now. He has panic attacks, he gets paranoid. We were together for 11 years and i have never seem him so out of control of himself. When we started to break up 6 months ago due to his many failed attempts to stop binge drinking and drugs abuse, he was diagnosed with depression for the first time. I know I can't go through this with him right now, but a part of me thinks he could really use some support because it is not all about his drug or drinking problem now it is about his mental health. Does that change the enabling vs. helping? He has been clean for 4 months (he says, I am not so sure about the drinking part). He doesn't have much family to help him. am confused if I should "let him fall" like I did with his addictions or try to be a friend and be there for him?
Any ideas or opinions would be very appreciated!! thanks.
