Hello and welcome.
Might I suggest to keep expectations realistic ("we plan to intervene soon") -- in case the intervention does not go the way you and your SIL expect?
Otherwise, where you wrote, "
Obviously I also think he would be most willing to do outpatient care and happy with that treatment option. He does go to work every day and comes home. He is very high functioning." A gentle reminder that the person has to be willing to make the commitment to go for treatment and to want to become sober. Which very well could be.
You may know -- there are many resources available for support to family members of addicts and a wealth of information right here at soberrecovery.com.
My best wishes to you and your husband.
