Friend relapsed on drugs. It happens a lot. Rehab doesn’t work. It’s eating me up. I know they have to make the changes too. I know this doesn’t rest in my hands alone. They need to want to be clean.

Let them go. They can still be your friend and love them but not be around them. You already said it, they need to want it. You being there does nothing to help that happen.
Set boundaries, stand firm with them. They may go elsewhere, but they can always come back if they respect your boundaries.
When they are ready, help them get signed up for help if they are pursuing it. Help them get to job interviews. Help them get to meetings if they are pursuing it.
Keep your boundaries up, even if they are making strides. If they are trying it doesn’t hurt to do normal things with them once in a while. That way they can have some semblance of normalcy as they heal from their sickness.
