Welcome Daisy.
I found in my own experience that until I was ready to quit it didn't work. I'm hoping he realizes his problem and can come to terms with it in rehab.
I went to out patient rehab and absolutely loved it. You get out what you put in. I am in a totally different state of mind now and so glad I made the decision to go ahead.
Wishing you and him the best.

Daisy hello (My 21 year old daughters name too )
Im now divorced.
When I went to rehab. My wife did not come to visit , when she called there was always and argument . I got home after weeks and went straight down to buy alcohol.
I was there for her. NOT ME.
I went because she said ."If you dont go to rehab, Im leaving".
Unfortunately , Im not good with threats like that and ultimately also, did not want to stop drinking.
I lied to rehab people, lied to myself.
If your husband is in rehab for himself, that is wonderful.
If not , like my wife did, you will find out sooner or later.
thanks for putting your post up. \
I hope it works out well for both of you .
Kind Regards

Alcoholics, including me, don't seem to do well with ultimatums. It always fueled me to drink more, in a more secretive way. I had to make my own mind up to stop and that is when sobriety could finally gain a foothold. Luckily I have a patient wife. I hope rehab works for your husband, but if he doesn't even believe he has a problem, he has a ways to go in my experience.
Daisy, it wasn't your husband's choice to seek help and go to rehab, but maybe while he is there something will click with him. I think it's just a question of wait and see.
I hope you continue to seek support for yourself.
