Be supportive. Try to get him to go to counseling. Hide the pills.
bring it to his attention let him know what it is doing to you and how you feel. If he still doesn't understand then it is time for counseling. Good Luck
Addiction is a very powerful struggle to contend with.
Depending on pills, a doctor might be in position to offer suggestions or could even prescribe something less addictive. Once one is an addict he needs something to replace his addiction. Many have tried hobbies, religion, or even, yes, rehab.
Best thing to do is seek medical advice, quickly! Substance abuse can break up families and ruin lives.
