There is hope Blondie. Relapse in early recovery is common but its very positive he is still in a program with monitoring. I agree it might be a good idea to look at the behaviors (beyond his actual using) that are causing the most stress at home. Maybe work to set up boundaries, or use positive incentives to promote changes in his behavior at home. Very sorry you are going through this.....
