IMHO you did the right thing. When someone's so far gone that they can't sit up in bed, it's pretty much impossible to tell just
how far gone they are: if they'll "sober up" or just roll over and die.

I'll second this, with the addendum that you need to make sure you're not turning into a supportive safety net. Don't fall into the trap of "I'm his friend and he really needs me so I'll consider his feelings as the only important thing when making decisions." If you really want to help him, you need to put safety and health first. If he's going to get out of this, then it is going to hurt. The key here is that you need to keep your eye on the light at the end of the tunnel and help him through the hurt, since he probably can't even
see the light at the end of the tunnel right now.
There's no such thing as a pain-free way to quit addiction.
