You (or I) are not qualified to deal with someone who is suicidal. If someone you know is thinking of suicide, you need to call Emergency Services. These people are trained to handle people in crisis, and they can get your friend the help he or she needs. Once your friend gets to a good hospital, doctors can soon get him or her back to feeling more like their old self and not so hopeless.
Another approach:From your question, it sounds like you've already opened a dialogue with your friend about their thoughts in suicide. That's great! Depression goes hand in hand with isolation, and that you're talking about it with them is a very positive step. Continue the talks. Be open and warm. And you might consider getting THEM to initiate calls for counselling -- not necessarily with EMS either. There are many resources for suicide and depression counselling; you might discuss these together.If the subject is in imminent danger of hurting themselves or another, it's appropriate to bring community services into the picture. But if the danger is not immediate, getting them to initiate communications with therapy is most effective.
One last thought: we have a tendency to stand well back and disassociate from our friends if they discuss suicide. It's a pretty normal response as suicide is terrifying and we don't want to do the wrong thing. I would however suggest that, if they were your friend in better days, you might still want to try and keep that friendship close. If you can ease the isolation, you can help to fix the problem.
