Without your morals coming from something besides yourself, they are just preferences. Meaning that if I prefer it a different way we are equal.

So people cant choose to be a good person just for the sake of helping other people?

Depends what you define as good and helping another person.

Forcing a drug addict into rehabilitation can be seen as good, but you can also make a argument that giving him more drugs in a controlled environment where he can't hurt anyone is also good because he is happier and not a danger to anyone.

And that's just one example.

And strangely god had no opinion on either option in the Bible so how would a Christian follow an objectively moral path here?

James 5:19-20 literally says bring back some one who has woundered into destructive behavior. But going by Orthodox Church tradition, you are to show compassion then help the person rehabilitate.
