Your friend has to first come to the place where he recognises he needs help, assuming that is indeed the case. At present, he does not seem to be ready for any kind of intervention.
The best thing you can do, at the moment, is to provide an empathic ear. Don't get drawn in to trying to solve the problem; just listen and really try hard to understand it from his perspective. You will be amazed what that will do for him!
