I take it your friend brought a friend as well? One thing to watch out for is if one falls the other one might fall with them. This is a difficult one. They moved to get away from something. Was it to get clean or were there just problems where they lived? It has to be a choice to quit and babysitting their finances is not what you should be doing. They are adults and should be able to say No if they really want to get clean and stay clean. Don't do for them what they can do for themselves. Giving them a place to stay is nice of you, but rehab is what they need. They need to take the right steps to get the help they need. You may have just given them a new place to continue their journey. I've seen it before and I am sure I will see it again. I hope for you they are really wanting to be clean and that they accomplish it, but they need to get medical help through rehab whether it be in patiens or outpatient. They have to learn about living all over again. You shouldn't have to be that person to teach them. It will drain your energy. Good luck and keep in touch. I am sure you will get more advice from others here. This is strictly my personal opinion.
