How Do You Fix a Person That Is a Total Train-Wreck Failure?

Question by Unknown2014: How do you fix a person that is a total train-wreck failure?
My brother is 21 and he doesn’t do anything. He does drugs abuses my parents and there money and has no respect for anything or anyone and he refuses to do something with his life. He has no job, no car, no life. He gets into trouble with the police and my parents are about ready to shoot themselves. He is very manipulative, mean, and he takes advantage of everyone. What are some ideas of how to “fix” him so he has a life and is a good guy.
