He really believes this is the best route and believes if we kick him out he will OD and die...
.

Sadly, it is just as easy to overdose and die in the warmth of one's parents' home while caring parents are nearby in another room as it is to die on the streets. Unless you chain yourself to him 24-7, you can not stop him from using, or from overdosing. But if he lives with his choices and consequences, perhaps he will find his bottom.

Addiction knows no socio-economic barriers...One can overdose in a mansion as easily as an alleyway.

I hope you and your husband each find your way; I know how this eats away at us.
