Of course he needs help. But in the agent's interview, he says that Mike was in rehab and checked himself out after a month. They can't force him to stay. He has to want to be there. It's 100% his own decision and he has to want it.
The agent made it clear he hasn't hit rock bottom yet, which is really sad, because he's not at the point of wanting to do what needs to be done to get clean. It will likely be the hardest thing he's ever done, to reach out and grab those hands reaching out to him.
I never suggested he do it on his own. For an addict and person who is likely suffering from some kind of mental health issue, that's unrealistic. But he has to take that first step and want to get help. That part is 100% his call.
