I recommend the whole "tough love" approach.

You can't stop him from using heroin but you can let him know you are not cool with it and that it is killing your friendship. You can also refuse to shelter him or associate with him until he stops using after you tell him that heroin has no place in your friendship. It will be very difficult for you to do but actions always, always, always speak louder than words.

I have a cousin who is perpetually recovering from heroin. "Tough love" was the only thing that worked and continues to be the only thing that does work.

My thoughts and hopes are with you and your friend.
