Then he checked himself into rehab. My husband, his step-dad won't let him come back because he broke the rules when he lived with us. ??

Well is this his first time in rehab? If yes then you have to give him a 2nd chance because he is trying to get his life together. If he has been in and out of rehab then let him worry about finding a place to stay because he has had his chances

There are places he can go to help him get back to a more stable place in
his life.Lot's of churches have programs to help.My brother-in-law stayed in
a church program for a year.He had major drug problems.He worked every
day in this program and got payed.Sometimes it's hard to just come out of
rehab and try to live out in the world without having some kind of guidance.
There are alot of temptations for a person who doesn't have an addiction
problem.If there isn't a place for him to go maybe you should sit down with
him and set up some rules and have him sign a written contract to help him
stay focused on his goals.You shouldn't turn your back on when he needs you the most.He will always be your son,no matter how old he is.By the way
my brother-in-law is now a saved christian with a good paying job and a joy
to be around.He traveled a long road to get there but all things are possible.

he is still your son, he checked himself into rehab because he knows he needed help, and when he gets out if he don't have anyone to help him then he will be doing the same thing he was before rehab. he is your child step up and help him, don't turn your back on him when he needs u most because one day u may need him and he won't be there for u and i can't say i would blame him

Your husband needs to understand that if he checked himself into rehab obviously he wanted help. He needs to give your son one more chance to try and do right and you as a mother should defend your son. If nothing more, possibly help him find a halfway house to move into. This is your son, your blood.....dont abandon him

If he's smart enough to check himself into rehab, I'm sure he's capable of finding a place to live.
I agree with your husband.

there are half way houses across the country might can take him in for awhile.. soup kitchens, mddonalds houses.. Also I knew someone who would hitchhick the country over and would go stay in Morman communities and work for his meals and next bus ticket to nowwhere. He would do whatever labor they needed done at the time. He got to see America doing this for 10 years. He even went and worked for some Amish for a couple of months... Im sure you son if he is resourceful can think of stuff to do to get housing and a little bit of a mature outlook and hard work ethic going... goodluck!
