I remember this phase. It can be a very long one. It all depends on the addict. I wouldnt say that I was really in my right mind again until at least 8 months or so... Even then I was not fully functioning and still had reservations.

My opinion might not be the majority... But for me... It took a whole year to come close to sanity. I am 20 months clean and have only been living on my own for 6 months.

6 days is nothing. He isnt even detoxed yet. I would limit contact and wait... But thats just me.

I am sorry. I know how devastating it is. This is a mental disorder. Some even call it a disease. It is a lifetime issue. That is the hardest thing for many to wrap their heads around.

Im sorry my post might sound so negative... But I do hhave this at least... Just for today, He is safe. Just for today, he is in treatment.
That in and of itself is a blessing. Tomorrow might be different... So maybe try to stay in today
