How do I go about helping a family member wth alcohol addiction

A really close family member has become a alcoholic,hes only 28 yrs old with 2 toddlers and his mum is coming to my home everyday crying for help. He grew up in a broken abusive family and has suffered all his life.

He drinks for emotional reasons and growing up with him and being so close to them I know i really need to help him in some way. Everyone else in the family has shun him and treats him like garbage because of his addiction but i know where hes coming from. Any advice please?
