hi welcome to the forum, you could try cenikor.  it is a long term rehab.  my daughter went ther when she was on meth.  you work to pay for your stay.  it cost no money up front.  it is a great program, but a very difficult program.  you have to really want to be clean.  if you are committed to being clean they will help you.  google it, it has a very high success rate for ppl who complete it.  they are all over the united states.  rememeber he has to want it for him.  you have been given options now.  if he chooses not to do it, you have to take careof you.  you are n ot esponsible for his usng anymore than you are for his getting clean.

good luck

You could also ssee if there are any government funded treatment centers that could help him, if he wants the help....I have a family member in their 50's that's addicted to meth....it's really hard to break them of that habit they've had for so many years...he doesn't even make time at all for us anymore.  Sadly I was addicted to it for a few years, but got myself out...I wish I had some great advice to give...it's odd, I feel if it was someone younger I would have all the advice in the world, but being someone so much older than me, and it's meth, I'm lost.....I'm sorry.  But I truly empathize, because I know both sides of that addiction. Best wishes and good luck.
