Eden, if he wants help, is not just making excuses, there is a treatment program here in the N Georgia mountains that would prolly take him if they have room. It is called The Way Home and can be reached through the director, Dave, who also runs a women's program 10 miles away. The number is 706/635-7224. It is located in Ellijay, GA. Cost is about 600 a month, but if he is destitute I have never known Dave to turn away someone that REALLY wants help.
If you call, tell Dave an old drunk named Bob gave you his number.
