This can be a tough situation. You need advice, and there is plenty of it out there. There are self-help books by the truck load. Counselling services can help. They'll probably spend a few minutes on the phone with you with little or no cost. You might very well need a legal consultation. Can another family member help? There may be parent support groups in your area. Find one and plug in. Church groups may be able to help or point the way to intervention. You are walking a fine line between helping him and enabling him. If you enable him, you disable him. And the more you do it, the more you cripple him.
