If I am understanding your post correctly, the treatment center is basically saying that relapses happen, and it might take him a while to find his way to sobriety?
So I guess thes question to answer, not today, but at some point, is do you want to stay for that ride?
Only you know the answer to that question.
In the meantime, keep working on those boundaries and keep thinking about what YOU want going forward.
Loving an addict is somewhat of a lesson in counterintuitive thinking. We want to help, but often our help deflects them from coming to terms with their condition and, hopefully, making positive changes for themselves.
Stay strong and continue on your path. I would read the stories others in situations like yours have posted. Could be very informative.
