Life of a loser

I'm more of the mindset of every second of life can serve as the reset button as it is never too late to start down the path that you would like to be on. Don't harbor regret, learn from it instead.
As far as rehab for life is concerned, look into counseling (or even self help books). The fact that you are talking about it means that you are willing to find help for yourself just make sure that you follow through with the idea. Doing it on your own can be difficult but not impossible.

First of all, massive kudos to you having the balls to admit this. I know a lot of people may give you shit for what you put on this site, but hey- if you like dumping your bucket here, it's probably safer than telling some asshole you barely know. At least all of us are assholes you barely know and you can go without giving a fuck.
As far as being dependent-
Jobs. You need to find something you are okay with doing. No miracle job is out there. Military, construction, sales, food service, or even doing some voulenteer work may help. Even a pissant little job is better than nothing, and you can always piggyback some lame job to connect with better employers.
Drugs. Drugs are, well... awesome. So awesome in fact that they tend to fuck your life up and the government wants them all for themselves. Sadly, you can party too much. lay off, stay away from the source (dealer, buddy, whatever).
Friends. They just don't come and find you while you're taking a shit... okay, well... some do. But you gotta go make some. Go grab some coffee every now and then or have a drink at a bar. Maybe go to a store that sells stuff you like. Just bullshit around with people.
Girlfriend. You do not want to be in the spot and be looking for a girlfriend. It will bite you in the ass, trust me. I am proof that you don't want to fall for someone and be in a shitty spot.
I'm a cocky, arrogant son of a bitch. I'm egotistical (albeit not as seriously as some think). You have to get some swagger. Be proud of who you are. Look at your reflection and tell yourself what you like. Be happy and proud of who you are, and even if you fuck up- be proud that you have the balls to fuck up and admit it. Realize that yesterday's "you" can be replaced by today's "you". Don't ever give anyone the satisfaction of disliking you and making you feel the same about yourself. Shit, son! Wake up tomorrow and kick Wednesday's ass! Kick tomorrow's ass so hard, that Thursday will probably hide and we'll go straight into Friday. Then, you can come down and eat fried chicken and get drunk with me and Skelter.

You've already said you know what you have to do, so do it. There's no genie to come out of a lamp and make things happen for you. I've said this to others, and I'll say this to you. You are in control of your life. You want a better one? Make it that way.
Jobs are a bit difficult to find in this economy, but fast food is almost always hiring. It's a shit job for shit pay (trust me I've been working it for the past six years, I know this to be true), but beggars can't be choosers. You say you're living with your parents, so you probably have next to no bills. This is a good thing. Get yourself a job and then hoard your money for a year or two. Open a savings account and start dumping at least half of every paycheck into that account, hell, put all of it in if you can. Then once you have enough money (my bank requires a minimum of $1000) open up a 3 or 6 month CD. Interest is shit right now, but something is better than nothing. You won't be able to touch the money in the CD until it matures at the end of the 3 or 6 months. When it matures if nothing pressing has come up that requires that money put it right back in for another 3 or 6 months. After a year or two of saving money this way you should be able to afford a couple of years of schooling and/or an apartment.
If you're wanting to go to school there's plenty of aid out there. FAFSA - Free Application for Federal Student Aid is the first place to look. If they don't give you enough then sign up for an account with FastWeb: Scholarships, Financial Aid and Colleges They'll give you information on thousands of scholarships.
Best of luck to you.
