You helped him before -- not entirely willingly -- and see what happened. He may "need help," but the help he really needs is to figure out how he's responsible for screwing up his own life. You bailing him out won't help, if he doesn't learn.
And it sounds like he hasn't. I agree with the others; if he's asking you for help now, after 3 years, he's already asked everybody he's met since and been turned down. Probably with good reason.
If he needed help to get into some kind of treatment program, maybe. But if he just needs help to continue "business as usual," forget it.
