I have a stepdaughter heroin addict, currently in-recovery and over two years clean. God (through his servants in a church in TN where she now lives) stepped in. That said, she was clean several times before, always relapsed, and cost the family THOUSANDS in stolen property including priceless heirlooms, two vehicles, and stolen CC debt.
I regret to be of the opinion that there is very little you can do for him/her. Because, to the addict, everyone, (including family, even their own children) are potential "funding sources" for their next high. They will do whatever it takes.
We also lost a son-in-law to an OD in 2016, leaving three daughters to grieve among the rest of us. Only the SELF-MOTIVATED individual addict, relying upon a lot of help from God, can change their course.
