I care about this person a lot and they have had a drug and alcohol addiction for years and have been in and out of rehab. I know that no one expects them to recover and everyone thinks that they are a troublemaker. I'm sure this person thinks the same thing because that is how they've been treated their whole life.  I know that the only person who can change them is themself, but what can I do to make them feel better about themself and to help them?

tell them how you feel about it. I don't care how addicted anyone is, it's possible to recover.

Wow, how effective can the rehab be? Just wait until they overdoes and go to the hospital, that should shake them up enough to stop.
Or, your friend could be too weak to stop doing drugs, and they will live a pitiful life that consists of one high to the next.

tell them you love them (which i'm assuming you do since you posted this) and tell them you would do anything to help them, and act dissapointed everytime you hear they did something
