I think it says a lot of positive things about you that you're feeling this torn about the decision you made. Caring deeply for the well-being of the people you love is one of the best things about being human to me and it's a good thing that you can't just turn those feelings for him off. We should all be so lucky as to have a friend like you, Zaz.
As for your decision, more of the same here: If all he wants to do it use and to hell with anything that gets in the way of using than there's not much you can do but continue to extend your offer to get him into rehab and to be there for him when he's sober. Without the desire to get clean and stay clean, he'll just go back to using no matter what you do.
