Thank you for your question. There are a couple of things to look at here:

1. Is your husband willing to go to a long term rehab program?

2. Are you being an “enabler”?

If your husband is willing to go to a program, then send him right away.

If he is NOT willing to go to a rehab, then we need to take steps in the direction where he will do so.

If you are not sure whether or not you are enabling, then we need to sort that out. When there is someone in the family who is enabling a drug user, it makes it almost impossible to help the drug user and the family. At some point here you are going to have to decide if you are willing to go on like this. If you are, then you are likely enabling.

If you are NOT willing to put up with this situation anymore, then we can proceed into action and take the necessary steps to get your husband into a program.

Unfortunately, it will be YOU that has to grab this bull by horns and get him to do what YOU want. Your husband is buried in his addiction and cannot fight this fight alone.

Does this help?
