You can not help those who can not help themselves
We have all come here to have an earthly experience a journey through life to learn and grow for personal growth.
Sometimes people have to hit rock bottom to bounce back up some never make it.
Ask yourself can you get him a job and if you did would he keep it ?
Can you afford to financially support him ?
The only way you can help him is to love and encourage him to get off his butt and do something with his life
You have to go and get what you want in life
Everything is not handed to you on a platter
When going gets tough, the tough get going
God Bless : )
Love & Blessings

Don't let your friends get into drugs because that so called escape is actually worse than a prison term. Help him get over his problems one step at a time. Finding a job would be a great start! Making new friends like you would be a good idea because others are probably oppressing and making him depressed. Being positive about a new start and letting go of negative feelings would also help.

You job should be one of encouragement, friendship, and prayer.
But unless you are a trained councilor or therapist you should limit your intervention. There a people who can do what needs to be done in a very professional manner.

THRU ISLAMIC point of view
In remembrance of God, there is peace of heart. When one remembers God, one also remembers that the purpose of one’s life is to serve Him (51:65). Therefore, you must decide about how you are going to use your life in His service. For that you need to follow the Divine law and live in accordance with the principles of ethics and morality. But you also need to do more.
The talent, the ability and the initiative that God has given us entail something more. Perhaps something for others. Perhaps something for our religion. Each Muslim must do something for the propagation of his religion according to his ability andcircumstances. If he is a religious scholar, he should strive for the understanding, interpretation and dissemination of religion.
If he has some position of authority, he should use that authority to implement the directives of religion. And if he is an ordinary Muslim, he should not only follow and implement religious directives within the confines of his authority but strive to propagate and disseminate his religion.
One way you can do something for the propagation of your religion is to co-operate with scholars working for religion in whom you can trust generally. You can co-operate in many ways: by providing financial assistance to a cause, by helping in raising finances or by contributing personally in understanding and disseminating religion. You will find that the ardour of your involvement in such activities will rekindle the feeling that you are part of Muhammad’s (sws) Ummah and are doing your bit for the revival of its commitment to Islam and for the revival of its lost glory.
In that feeling you will find the fervour and the stir that will not let you feel hollow as long as you live.

Give him the link to the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Seeeing Him wigling His noodley appendages is fun. He might enjoy it.

Would he consider seeing a counselor of some sort? I know you want to help him, but it sounds like he needs more help than you can provide on your own.
