How on earth could he help him??? He directly asks Bobby if there's anything more they could do, and Bobby makes a sarcastic comment about his 'guide to demon detox'. Neither knows how to alleviate his suffering - all they can do, and what they *do* do, is be there with him, suffering alongside him. They don't know if Sam will die, but they do know he is slated to be the leader in hell, and Dean - rightly, in my view - knows that Sam would rather die than become that. Bringing him to a safe place and waiting out a detox gives him a fighting chance. I cannot see, in any way, how this can possibly be framed as betrayal. It was absolutely the right call, albeit a desperate, painful one to make, and one made from the deepest love.
