The family wasn't prescribing him medication, and therefore had no duty to monitor his prescriptions. The family wasn't operating a drug treatment program, and therefore had no duty to comply with the standards of that program.
His family likely should have done a better job of looking out for him much earlier in his life/career, but that has nothing to do with legal liability.
