No experience with intervention, though I've dealt with several problematic family members. I just wanted to say, I believe you are doing the right thing. And while presenting someone with such an ultimatum can seem difficult and harsh and you may at times want to give in because of some guilty feeling, just remember that you're doing it BECAUSE you love him, and BECAUSE he needs your help and this could possibly be the only way to get through to him.
Most of my experience is with alcoholic family members (it runs strongly and terribly in my mother's side of the family).
I really hope things end up well for you and your family. You have my e-support.
