You are FAR from an idiot. My best friend was a meth addict, and I literally told her I wanted her out of my life until she was ready to get clean..(she did thank goodness) this was the HARDEST thing I've ever had to do with our friendship... but things like that are complicated, and while we will always worry, we need to remember that we, as human beings, deserve better treatment than that.
Your ex has to *WANT* to get better. Addicts of any drug (no matter how *safe* or *smart*) won't get better if A: they don't think they have a problem and B: They don't want the help. Sure, sometimes they'll go to appease us, but.. chances are.. that's not gonna work. They have to WANT recovery. (This is true with any addiction, really...)
Hang in there... situations like this are really hard.. and sadly, too many of us can empathize. But take comfort in that. You can message me any time if you just need to *talk* to someone..
With that being said.. the first comment .. is excellent. My nephew went to ECMC for detox from heroin, and they were a great help of point him in what direction to go to from there... they're nice people.
This.
