How to Help a Teenager?

Oh, the holidays... What do you do when your 15 year-old brother, who is being neglected, declares "I will dedicate my life to stopping mom from drinking!", and breaks down into tears from memories of her using hard drugs in front of him?

He should be a kid! So aggravating, the things he's seen and been through. Straight A honors student too. I see him heading to this dark Codie place and I dont know how to help.

Meetings and therapy dont appeal to teenagers like they do adults! Any suggestions or experiences would be great. Thanks!
