If he is as ready as you describe, I agree with Tyler, anything is going to work...willingness is the key ingredient. If you have access to full time rehab, that's always a wonderful option, as is 90 meetings in 90 days in AA...now that he 's doing it for himself not court appointed, it will probably really click with him.
Why don't you make a deal...he goes' to 90 aa meetings in 90 days and you go to 90 al-anon meetings?? That's a space where you can also heal too.
Good luck!!!
