Anna makes some good points, especially about raising a child in a home with an addict. It is very damaging to them and to the partners. I would also add that a simple trip to rehab won't fix an addict. It is the first step in the road to recovery - depending on type of drug, length of use, and other possible mental/emotional issues. Not to discourage you, or say he can't do it, but rehab is only a start. And he has to want it. If he goes to make you happy, it may seed a resentment in him and then he may use again at some point.

I am so sorry you are going through this.
