Stop doing drugs and work an active recovery or your life will suck.

He knows who to call and where to go. It's free.

When he is truly ready, he will stop.

I recommend reading up on detachment instead of driving yourself crazy and depleting your funds.
Hear hear! Please read every word of this. It is golden.


What he needs is a list of local shelters with addresses and phone numbers.

It is perfect timing for you to detach with love. Recovery doesn't have to come with a high price tag and a long term prescription.

And in his situation 28 days is probably not going to be enough to make a permanent change. It seems like you are in the perfect moment to let him go so be can get the help he really needs. He's been around the recovery community long enough to know how to get help.

I know how hard it is to let go, so against all common sense but it is what works.
