Is he serious?

I had previously offered my son rehab. (21 yo marijuana addict who dropped out of college to smoke mj full time, I evicted him from our home in Feb). I had been successfully detaching from his over the last couple of weeks. (no phone calls, no nagging, pleading or anger).
He came today - he had run out of money and told me he had no longer had a job. He asked me for money. I refused. He flew into a rage for a while and I asked him to leave. Then he calmed down and agreed to go to rehab.

Question: How can I tell he is serious to make a change? T

This will be his second trip to rehab. Even though most of the cost would be covered by insurance, it will still cost me about $4500. I don't want to waste the money if he is not serious. I forced him to go to a 21 day rehab last year which was 12 step based. He was clearly not serious. This one is more of a addiction medicine center but a lot more expensive.
