If he is truly addicted he is rapidly moving toward the phase of his illness that is about avoiding the daily horrors of withdrawal. There are few things harder to watch in a loved one than full blown opioid or benzo withdrawal which can make DT's look like a picnic.
IMO you offer him an opportunity to competent help where other addicts have gotten treated successfully and then leave him alone until he loses enough of his life and the people who love him.
He will continue to use until he is ready to make a serious effort in recovery where he is willing to do anything to get what successful recovering addicts have......sobriety and a program. If you really want to know where to get help PM me and I'll recommend a solid place based on where you live.
