He ignored you until he was in a real bind. Probably a bit traumatized.

As Sage said, he hasn't actually done anything yet, the only action he has taken is calling you to tell you his woes.

Please, for your own sake, keep your expectations low. There is nothing to indicate he won't get straight now, but there is nothing to indicate he will either. You don't want to ride that particular roller coaster I'm sure.

Even if he does seek help at rehab or AA (or anywhere!), recovery can take quite some time, so even if sober, I would, personally, be hesitant to move him right back home. After rehab there are sober houses he can live at or other facilities. This would be great to protect yourself. Be careful.
