Depends on the substance and how much it is hurting the person doing it. My strategy is openness, compromise, and understanding, but that pertains to recreational marijuana use by a successful college student.
If it were it a high-school dropout addicted to hard drugs, I have no idea what the best course of action would be. For a problem that severe, professional advice would probably be your best bet.

When a soldier exhibits signs of substance abuse what should you do?
This depends entirely on your relation with the soldier. If you are in the soldier's chain of command: You should first talk to the soldier and ask him questions about how he is currently doing, if there are any problems at home or if he has any injuries. Some signs of substance abuse can also be signs of stress, family problems, or a mental/physical injury. If he states he doesnt have have a problem stated above, talk to other soldiers in his squad and buddies that he hangs out with, they may also notice a change in his behavior and give you some clues. If you are still unable to find out what the problem is, go back to the soldier and state outright that you think he is using a substance. He will either admit to it, in which case please recommend him to ASAP (Army Substance Abuse Program). If he doesn't admit to using substances go through your chain of command up to the company commander who can order a urine analysis, which is the clearest way to determine substance abuse. If you are a relative, friend, or family member that is NOT in the military, please ask people in his squad and his buddies about his behavior. If you see more signs of substance abuse, contact the soldier and directly confront him on it. As stated above, if he admits to substance abuse, recommend him to ASAP. Otherwise contact his first line leader (team leader or squad leader) and let them know your concerns, they will know what to do.
