The first step in solving a problem is first realising you have one. And most of these folk haven't quite gotten to that part yet.

@MrTobi013 As cold as it sounds, 'want' has nothing to do with anyone else but them. They have to want to change themselves before anyone can even begin to help. As upsetting as it may be to you, you cannot help someone that does not want to be helped - and it's never a motivator to try and tell a person "Do it for whoever" that never works either - addicts tend to relapse more frequently when attempting to break their habits for the sake of another and really, is this not on similar par? Unfortunately you get people that are what you have to accept are a lost cause of their own making. Whether they want to come out of that or not, will be down to themselves.

@MrTobi013 It's only too late once you've given up.

@MrTobi013 And if they can't find it in themselves to want it, the most anyone else can do is waste their time.
