So, I have been with my boyfriend for about 4 years and he has always had issues with depression. He had used drugs in the past, but things got bad about 2 years in when he became addicted to heroin because of bad friends. We have been trying to get him sober, but it is hard to do without consistency. He didn't have insurance up until recently and has had no job for the past year. He finally was able to go into a 3 week detox but comes out tomorrow and wants to come back home. I don't know if I should let him though. He is the typical addict, who will do whatever and say whatever to get the fix (because he's not totally in control of himself with the addiction, of course). He was upset when I told him I didn't know if I wanted him home, but he has nowhere else to go except another in-patient place, which he is sort of reluctant to do and insurance won't cover the whole thing, so paying for it may still be an issue since his parents don't want to pay.
I absolutely love him and I am scared of what will happen if he has nowhere to go. He told me he would just stay with this girl he met in treatment if I wouldn't come pick him up ( I think he was just trying to get me to change my mind ).
But, all-in-all, he comes home tomorrow and I don't know what to do. I have a strong feeling he will try to go get some and I am worried. I have school and work so I can't be around all the time to see what's going on. He is supposed to do an outpatient treatment, but he has no car and so I doubt he will be able to handle the responsibility of getting himself to all the meetings and appointments on his own.
Help?
What do I do?
