Addiction to cough syrups are equally harmful as any other drug addiction. Talk to the patient when he is not under intoxication. Immediately take him to psychiatrist and start the detoxification and medicines for other mental health issues if any. After that start psychotherapy sessions with addiction therapist is must. During the psychotherapy he will learn the techniques to overcome craving and other skills to maintain recovery. Remember the help is just one call away.
