What Causes Recurrent Seizures?

I I have a friend who has a a few seizures in his fifty eight years, small not grant mall lasting only moments and he returned to be normal. The episodes spanned apart 10 to 18 years. No treatment was ever sought. He does drink alcohol and does recreational drugs on a regular basis. Herrion, Methamphetamine and to bridge sickness when out of her room he uses clonazepam 1 or 2 mg several at a time. Other factors include homelessness and poor diet. Yesterday he experienced a cluster of 4 , 3 to 10 minute seizures , he refuses to see a doctor due t to his drug use. What does this mean in terms of his immediate and future health? Thank you for your assistance.
