It won’t do a bit of good. He has to hit his bottom – and for most this can take several times to do before he’s ready to do anything about his addiction.
*You* cannot do it for him.

you’re an adult, don’t go. He can however kick your sorry ass out of his home and not give you any support to live on unless you do. fact is, a lot of young people out there wish their parents cared enough to try to help them. You are lucky enough to have a father who cares and wants to help you. You need to understand that every thing you do goes on your resume. Not just your school and work, but your police record, you activity, your dependence on drugs or alcohol. These are things that will follow you your entire life. YOu dad is trying to give you a chance to make something of yourself before you ruin your chances. Take it now, before it is to late.
Not if you want it to do any good. You cannot argue with, reason with, have a convincing argument or get any kind of point across to an addict. When they’re ready to quit, they will. Until then, no amount of yelling, arguing or placing ultimatums are going to do an ounce of good.
Only a court of law can force someone into rehab, but it means nothing unless the person is willing and able to accept the help. Sometimes people have to hit rock bottom before they are ready for rehab, and some people will never be ready. Don’t believe silly Dr Phil interventions. The real world isn’t like that.
the problem with rehab is, there is no rehab they can’t just check themself out of. it isn’t legal for
someone to be kept in rehab against their will unless a judge orders them into a lock down rehab.
