Fist off do you think that is true?
My own personal experience with a drug addict (my sister) showed me nothing YOU do will help them get clean or change their lifestyle. That only happens when they personally decide it’s time to change. So I don’t see how providing food is enabling them.
That said, you may be enabling others who aren’t drug addicts.
But if the biblical imperative is to be charitable, then that is why you give. Regardless of the unintended consequences.

Do you have a responsibility to keep your sister from hurting the rest of the family? of burdening the rest of the family?

I know that is the common belief but did Christ ever help a healthy individual with charity?? I am not sure of an example and am simply asking.
