Generally speaking separate your friend from his current scenario to spend a few hours on an excursion. Get him out of his normal environment and pattern. Have a few drinks, maybe smoke a joint, and tell him your concern ;)
Confidentiality and all that - Remember that I was a nurse in a previous life - It comes naturally to protect 'the patient' and not give away to much info when asking 'hypotheticals' like this...

I am generally a fairly calm person in this sort of situation - Again it comes from my background - I can lose it, but only when people deserve it.....
